Bandido Cross 2011: Sunday November 13

So –  it’s on!  The official start to the Cyclocross season!  Our annual backyard brawl, we don’t need no stinkin’ badges, no expo, no fees, ride cuz it’s fun event.

Real simple, pal:

- Bring any bike.  We don’t care.

- Never raced cross before?  Great.  We especially love new riders.

- Leave the power meter and intensity at home.  Cross is tough, but supposed to be fun.

- Entry fee: $0.  But, bring some beer, something to grill, and any NEW bike stuff you want to trade.

-  Time: We roll at NOON.  12PM.  Be here at 11, pre-ride at 1130a.

-  Prizes: Maybe – but we will randomly select a winner to wear the Bike Mex Champs jersey.

 

No Experience? No Cross Bike? No problem!!!

So Bandido Cross is a fun, no-experience necessary Cyclocross ride – not a race.  We usually have a few guys who go all out, but the rest of us ride a lap, have a slug of beer and go on.

Liberal rule interpretation (i.e., cheating, shortcutting, adding barriers, tackling your friends) is HIGHLY encouraged.

If you associate with the caddies from Caddyshack, or with Pinto, Flounder and Bluto, this is your afternoon!

Nationals

12/12, 12pm – Bandido Nationals (aka Natural Male Enhancement)

Why is Bob smiling?  Because it’s official!  Bandido Nationals is Saturday, December 12th, at High Noon! Stop spending money on Cialis, calf implants, trendy vodka, and Porsches and try what really lands the ladies!  Bandido Cross!

We will have one course, with an MMA steel-cage no fear option, and well, the other one.  To help you decide, check to see if your bike has the necessary equipment:

Let’s just say you’ll be wet and miserable with the first option, but will have the respect of your fellow idiot racers.

We will be crowning the Men’s and Women’s CX Bike Champion, Singlespeed Champion, 29er Champion, 26 MTB Champion.

Standard Bandido rules and procedures apply:

1. Get here about 1130.
2. First and only race (mass start) at noon.
3. 5 laps if snow, 8 laps if dry.  The course is F-A-S-T now, Ricky Bobby.
4. BBQ, Beer and BS afterwards.  Bring stuff to grill and beer if ya don’t like PBR.

If you’ve been to any of the other Bandido races, your mission is to bring one other racer – anyone that enjoys riding, mud, beer.

Plus – we will be unveiling the racer-only Bandido Cross jersey.
