My friend Tyler (aka Methdad) has organized an insane event in Murfreesboro, TN for next Saturday (April 10th): the Tour de Fun. Keith and I will definitely be there, and any one who can make it out really should; this is going to be A LOT of fun! Full line up of bands can be found here.

Here are a few photos Keith and I took while on an early spring ride.

Dave is throwing this alley cat again. It was A LOT of fun last year and was actually my first alley cat (Keith and I tied for second). There will be a post race barbecue at the undisclosed last checkpoint. It’s going to be a fun race, so definitely come out if you can.

As expected, Tour de Fun was a really awesome event. Keith, Skye, and I rode the 40 miles from Nashville to Murfreesboro and got there pretty early. We started grilling out at MOAB, which soon after became crowded with well over 200 people. The first few bands played there while every one else just hung out and did some tricking. The ride started early evening, and we all rode to the first house show. For the rest of the night every one rode from house to house to hear different bands play (there were a total of 22 bands playing at 10 different houses). Continue reading for the rest of my recap, a video documenting the event, and more photos.

A few of us have been wanting to play some bike polo for a while now, and it finally happened thanks to the initiative of Alex, Davis, Mark, and a few others. I’ve definitely been having a lot of fun with it. We usually play on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, though we don’t have a permanent spot just yet. Check out the Nashville Bike Polo blog for more information on game times and locations.

Finally uploaded all the photos off my camera and found these from when I jumped the 5 stair set at the courthouse a few weeks back. Photos by Keith Gallagher

Keith and I have been using the Holga a lot lately, so I’m going to try to post some regularly (some bike related, some not). I’m hoping once a week, every mid-week (that’s usually when we develop them). Here’s a few from last week when we rode the greenway to the skatepark. You can find more here

Here’s another Tour de Fun post. These are the pictures I said I would post in my write-up earlier this week. They were all taken on the Holga and you can find more here.  Keith, Skye, and I did the 40 mile ride from Nashville to Murfreesboro. It was a really fun and scenic ride. We also found a Buddhist temple. We were the first to get to MOAB for the cookout, but the area filled up fast. As I said before, this was a really well organized event (great job, Tyler!). There were hundreds of people on bikes, 22 bands playing a total of 10 house shows, and just a copious amount of fun.
