Round 2 Recap and Urban Cross
Round 2 went swimmingly. Six of the gnarliest hills in the Midtown/Downtown/SW Blvd area and all were crushed. Some brought their carbon road bikes, some their track bikes, a few mountain bikes, and of course, due to the Biebermania that's sweeping through the cycling world, a god damn fat bike. All did well, very few walked, no one went backwards. Cheers all around!
Zack took the win on his Bianchi Super Pista with a very hill-unfriendly street gearing and did it with aplomb. Honestly, there were a few hills where I doubted that he'd even be able to get UP the hill at all, let alone win the heat. So kudos to you, sir, you earned the Taddihogg hat and the first slag off the Pink Boone's Farm. And EVERYONE got a free coozie and some sweet stickers care of the dudes from Urban Velo. Thanks to our sponsors, you guys are AOK.
We'll be posting up current scorings and standings soon. You have 15 minutes to challenge these standings, and that 15 minutes are already up. Deal with it, keeping track of this shit is hard work for idiots.
Enough with the hill bullshit! This weekend is Urban Cross. Want a recap on Urban Crosses of yesteryear? Check out AK's blogpost about everything Street Cred, it does a fine job of recapping previous years. Meeting point will be at the Macabre Cinema in the West Bottoms, and we'll group ride from their to the "course".
So see you sweethearts on Saturday. When it will be 40 and sunny. This "winter" series is a god damn lie!

Sorry, We've been slacking
We at streetcred h.q. have been slacking lately, maybe its a cx worlds hangover but anyway, the fog is starting to lift and we should have our act together for Saturday's stage. We only have to be there to show you what hill to go up while you have to go up said hill as fast as possible. This is a hilly city, the possibilities are endless, and some of the hills are endless. Kids on fixies, bring your running shoes.
A big thank you to Michael Ellis for running stage 1 while the rest of us were drinking with belgians.
this guy won. he's out to get that chrome jersey this year, even if it is a little tight.
See you on Saturday KC, bring your fast legs and your strong livers, you'll need 'em both.
Thanks to Tallgrass for supplying the much needed halycon wheat in the new pint can! And thanks to Volker bicycles and taddihogg for hosting and sponsoring. Full stage 1 recap soon.

ROUND 1 - Scavengers - February 2nd
Starting from Volker Bicycles at 18th and Wyandotte, this race will be a "scavenger hunt", for a lack of better terms. There will be a 2 hour cutoff from start to finish, which should be doable for even novice riders. Specific rules and bonus point opportunities will be announced at the start of the race. Riders will need a pen/pencil to record info. All types of bikes are welcome. Helmets strongly encouraged, but you're an adult, so whatever.
Ride ends at Grinders Pizza for beers, food and hugs. This race is FREE, as are all other Street Cred 2013 races.
Big ups to our sponsors for this series: Taddihogg Ass Hats, Tallgrass Brewing Company, Volker Bicycles and Urban Velo. This race would have totally happened without you, but would have been fucking terrible.
Ask questions if you have them and they aren't dumb. See you February 2nd!
