NorCal Cycling News - Cycling and Racing in Northern California

Sunday means Savage Sprints in Sacto

The Sacramento Bee has a short, but sweet article on the Sacramento Valley Velodrome Association’s hard work in grassrooting a second velodrome sproutup in Norcal.  Hardman Dean Alleger is working 24/7 on the project and if you’ve ever seen him attack in a points race … you know there won’t be a chance in hell he’ll give up on making this dream concrete.

Do your part and comment on the article to show support for what will be a tremendous asset to our cycling community.  Riding your bike without having to worry about cars is what mountain biking is all about … and it’s even better with no brakes.  So, support the SVVA, please!

And if you don’t do the fools-ball … Sunday evening in Sacto is the Savage Sprints fundraiser for the SVVA.  It’s a very cool party in a casual, but suave atmosphere at the Hot Italian.  The beer is cold, the pizza is hot, and the roller sprints are sizzling.

Kegs are good for the Heart

Speaking of my favorite liquid … got word from major madonna of Velo|SF, Kate Ligler, that there is going to be some serious keg’er action available at the Red Racing American Heart Association FUN-draiser and superparty.

Velo|SF (747 Front St. in San Francisco) is super close to BART, so hop on mass transit and enjoy a kickass Saturday evening of partying with your cycling buddies.  The ride has been sold out (very cool), but the silent auction from 5-9pm offers chances to swipe some sweet schwag ~ and the party from 6-9pm will be off the hook.

Head over to the city Saturday night and replenish the carbs burned during your pedal filled hours of sunshine and sassyfrass.
