Vicious Cycle

Vicious Cycle from KPCC on Vimeo.
For six hours, the night riders of Los Angeles shut down the tile-covered 2nd Street runnel for the biggest bicycle drag race the city has ever seen.

More than 200 riders competed and organizers quickly winnowed the field to a group of the 16 fastest in women's and men's categories. Each rider wore an ankle bracelet that timed their efforts to the one-hundredth of a second. In the end, only two remained. The fastest people on two wheels in the City of Angels.

WPH Midnight Drag Racing

Took the Metro Link to Downtown Los Angeles for some late night racing with Meme.  Well actually we only watched but there were hundreds of cyclist. 

It was so hard to capture the action.  Late night, poor light, everything was a blur.

Hundreds of spectators and racers.  The tunnel was packed.

1000 feet, to be in the top 16 you needed to be at the finish line in about 24 seconds or less. 

Golden Saddle Cyclery, Kyle?

Alvin with Mobbin Mondays was representing. 

Joseph from Mobbin Mondays was there too.  Here he is warming up.

Racers are lining up to register.  Angel, in the middle, from Coco's Variety, is at every race.  I see him everywhere.

Marathon Crash Race 2012

Two years ago, I heard about a race put on by the Wolfpack Hustle, The Marathon Crash Race. The idea was simple, crash the LA Marathon course before the foot races start.  When, if ever, can cyclists have 26.2 miles of uninterrupted streets to go all out and ride.

Last year, I had my heart on doing this race but for what ever reasons, I missed it.  About a month ago, I saw a promo video for this year's Crash Race and told myself I would do it.

So with all that, I was up at 2 am and out of the house by 2:45.  I met up with Michael and together we set off to Tang's the official start and home of Wolfpack Hustle.

To say it was cold was an understatement.  Yesterday it rained all day and the snow level was pegged at 2000 ft.  This morning there was no rain, but it was cold.  I am so glad, at the last minute, I decided to buy a balaclava.   The balaclava made all the difference between cold and miserably cold. 

The ride to Santa Monica was fast.  There were so many people, it was crazy.  Cyclists were everywhere. I was relived that I had made it to the finish in one piece.  I was soaked in my own sweat and getting cold fast.  That is when Michael and I decided to start moving and making our way home.  

We decided to take Santa Monica Blvd all the way back to Tang's.  The ride back wasn't so bad and I was back home by 8 am.  Just in time for breakfast and then church.
