First annual Taco Truck Time Trial

http://327words.blogspot.com/2008/02...ime-trial.html

It starts up on Capital Hill and rolls down probably to Columbia City.

Here's from the race flyer:
In celebration of bicycles, burritos, and bacchanalia, 327 Words is pleased to present the First (and probably only) Annual Taco Truck Time Trial, a checkpoint-themed alleycat-style bike race starting at 20/20 Cycle, 2020 Union St., Seattle, WA, on March 29th, 2008, beginning at 3:27PM, with signups commencing about 2:30.

Riders will leave, time trial mode, in staggered starts, and head in a southerly direction to somewhere on Rainier Avenue where they will have the option of downing, for time bonus points, a taco or other comestable at one of Seattle’s finest taco trucks. (For additional bonus points riders, may also have the chance to abet their meals with distilled spirits.)

Then, it’s further south to Columbia City for at least one more truck where the previous truck’s consumption will be reprised.

Finally, the event concludes with a full-bellied sprint along Lake Washington Boulevard for the after-party and prizes at the Madrona Alehouse.

Cyclists of all ages and styles are invited to participate and for those disinclined to race, the associated Roach Coach Rally will feature a group ride from the start to a selection of checkpoints.

Prizes—cash and bike schwag—will be awarded for fastest times, men’s and ladies’ divisions, as well as various runner-up positions, including style points and, naturally, DFL. Friends already on board include 2020 Cycle, 327 Words, Dutch Bike Seattle, Hampsten Cycles, Bicycle Fixation, Swrve Cycling, and more

and I can't go!!!

This is a Point 83 event which means check your sense of indignation at the door.

Also, Dashap is pretty widely regarded as insane.

Must! Ride! Bike!

That's the same day as the bike fit party. Maybe we can work it in somehow?

If we could do our fit stuff in the morning (and I really could easily, not sure anyone else can) then in the afternoon we could turn up en mass for the thing.

(and have potty breaks or whatever at my house)

Ooooh! Bike fit and short ride at Knot's, crazy alleycat race at Mimi's!
