COLD SPRINTS! - November edition

Last night was the first of four "Coldsprints" hosted by Grumpy's Bar and Grill, Behind Bars Bike shop and One-on-One Bike shop. If you aren't privy: "Coldsprints" (normally "Gold" sprints) are bicycle races on indoor training rollers - a fancy version of a staionary bike. In 20 seconds, you go as fast and hard as possible and try to beat the score of other contestants. A computer tracks the speed and distance and displays it on a screen. Think interactive video game for active types. Have a look:









Two teammates of mine won the event. Jake H. and Lindsey of Team Grumpy's/Little Guy Racing. I barely missed the qualifying heat, but vow to spin faster and harder next time. As a bonus, proceeds from last night went straight to the food shelf. Big thanks to everyone who helped out. Enjoy the images and try to make the next one if you missed this event.

I ran across this at random, I love the photos, and the event. Wish somewhere around here would host something like it.
