The Halloween weekend in NYC is always epic and 2007 was no exception. Whatever your in the mood for its happening here. Want to race bikes that go no where? Well Friday night was your chance. Chris Kim provided the bikes and the fastest legs in this city went at it. Corry the Courier vs. Felipe the King… Watching people ride nowhere was never this exiting. In the end Felipe was still the king. But Crihs still managed to crash a bike that wasn’t moving. Which in it self is somewhat of an accomplishment. The night finished off with the awards ceremony for the longest and toughest race series New York City has ever seen. Five races in five boroughs. Team Six took the top two spots in the GQ with Dan C. taking the title and Crihs holding it down in second. Crihs and Dan teamed up in Queens with Crihs taking home the yellow jersey for that race and then Pablo joined the squad in Brooklyn along with Kyle from DQM and Andrew Toews to win the team completion by one point. Kym joined the leftovers to hold down second place team in Brooklyn. The sprinters crown also went to Dan C with Pablo grabbing second place sprinter with only doing three out of five races. I cold go on forever. This series took five months there are just too many highlights(Kym finishing Broadway Bombing with a bloody hand to just nab 1st place away from Heidi).
Saturday, people could ether race their hearts out in the 13th annual Halloween race or drink and destroy at the 5th annual Black Label Bike Kill block party. About thirty people came out to Fort Green Park in Brooklyn under rainy sky’s to contest the race. About 300 people came out to Bike Kill a few blocks north to drink and break things. Around four the racers took off. Racing too ten different checkpoints spread out over Manhattan and Brooklyn as far north as One Hundred and Seventh St. and FDR and as far south as Seven Hanover Sq. Felipe, Rafael Negron, Dan C, and Andrew Toews raced to the Brooklyn Bridge to hit Seven Hanover sq first. After hitting two more checkpoints on the lower east side, the four being trailed by Lucas Brunnelle(http://www.digave.com/videos/) skidded in to Continuum Cycles to get their manifest stamped by Jeff. Then it was a nightly four block drag race to One Hundred Seven St and the FDR. After Twenty Three miles Dan C out sprinted Felipe the King in the last few blocks to arrive at Bike Kill first.
Sunday everyone got to relax and sleep in late.
