ClIf Bar Cykel Scramble
Last Saturday was the inaugural Cykel Scramble. The day took many twists and turns but ended up with all smiles. All the teams took a lot of time picking out their race day outfits, and customizing their bikes for this one of a kind race. My team, the Bad Boy Club consisted of a steady crew that ride all kinds of bikes these days. However, we started on BMX. We went with a BMX theme wearing race jerseys and rode John Twins race inspired BMX. Our team had a last minute injury a few days prior to race day, and another injury 30 seconds into practice. Billy actually broke his crank arm off in the roller section and his knee went right into sharp metal. He had to go to the hospital and get 13 stitches on his knee. This called for a last minute sub to come race on Bad Boy Club. Danny called in to work and made it happen.
Our friends the Holy Rollers competed in the toasters class! They won best crash at the race which resulted in snapped handle bars. Highlights included the rocketeer team trying to jump the keg every lap and getting super sketchy. The Jamaican Bobsled team riding with incense burning on the back of their saddle. The biggest highlight was how everyone was hi-5 ing one another and smiling. It’s refreshing to see this at a race. I know this is the most I’ve ever smiled in a race. Despite all the wounds and broken bikes, I can’t wait for next years antics! -KEP
