Laek House sponsoring the Ratpack!



My buddy Ethan was more than flattered to be asked to be on board as a sponsor, and he's determined to make it out one of these weeks. He's been pretty busy making some of the raddest hats you'll ever see, though, and I heard preorders are now being taken for 'em..
Laek House Clothing


Expect to see Wreck Stuff prizes soon, too!

Prolly was bloggin' us first.

I just came across my homeboy John Prolly's blog, and he's got a really nice write up on the Rat Pack from a few weeks ago. He also has a really nice white Marinoni..


Prolly is also the dude in charge of the BQE Peel Sessions going on tomorrow night in Brooklyn! I'll be there proving that clipless pedals are horrible for pulling off this freestyle foolishness.


Come on out!

Times and Standings for Monday, 10/29/07

Last night we had a ...cozier turnout than normal, but those of you who braved the cold and dealt with the time change, thanks for coming out and setting the bar WAY up there for future contenders.

We did two preliminary heats last night followed by a semifinal heat. Times are as follows.

Heat 1
Jeremy - 15:86
Brantley 16:09
Josh (Dallas) - 17:87
Jacob (Dallas) - 17:64
Cosme - 15:81
Nikola - *****
Niki - *****

Heat 2
Jeremy - 15:84
Brantley 15:75
Josh (Dallas) - 18:22
Jacob (Dallas) - 18:13
Cosme - 15:97
Nikola - 15:86
Niki - 16:38
Bonesy - 16:08

Semifinals
Cosme - 15:97
Nikola - 15:96
Jeremy - 15:65
Brantley 15:50


Cosme and Nikola had a damned impressive neck 'n neck finish, but we had Nikola clocked at 1/100th of a second ahead, and awarded him third place for the night.

Jeremy and Brantley put in blazingly fast times - fast enough to claim the two fastest times of the series and take 2nd and 1st for the night respectively. After their semifinal round, it was decided that a finals round wasn't really necessary, and damn it, it got really cold out.

Thanks to JustinTalent and Victoria for coming out and assisting, as well as Jacob and Josh coming out and representing Skidmarxxx Crew out of Dallas TX.

Check back soon for another Jose Martinez photoset from last night, as well as updates on past times and future announcements!

NEW TIME TONIGHT!!!

this is about as last minute as it gets, but tonight we're gonna play ball with the weather and the 9 - 5 rat racers out there.

***TONIGHT WE START AT 8:30.***

brooklyn group ride meets at 7:20 at the north side entrance to the williamsburg bridge.

same location, same level of sassy. but now you can get to bed at a decent hour. or make it to the Levee for at least one round of "Run to the Hills".

jose martinez photography. most excellent.

J. Martinez has been taking some phenomenal photos in and around the NYC cycling community lately (as well as elsewhere), and he rode up to the WSBP at Riverbank State Park to take some killer night photos of last week's Rat Pack Hustle races.
