Battle Cranks

My first foray into event organising is coming together. Battle Cranks will be Austria's first ever bicycle roller racing event and it should be a blast. The race takes place at Fuschl's Hotel Mohrenwirt on November 27 and it's totally free.

Website is launched and we have some sponsors coming in now too. Everyone I've spoken to is interested, but whether that interest turns into actual participants, I am not sure. Also a challenge is explaining to Austrians what it is - nobody, not even cyclists, know what roller racing entails. We came up with the German phrase "Rennrad-Rollenrennen" which covers it pretty well but is a bit of a mouthful. Guess we'll see if the locals 'get it'.

A big thanks must go to Rollapaluza, the London company credited with bringing back roller racing in the UK and who are coming to Austria on a shoestring to help us make this happen.

It's going to be a great night. Check out www.battlecranks.com, register at http://tinyurl.com/battlecranks and the Facebook event page is here.


Massive props to Bill for the graphics, the whole CI is freaking wicked.
