Resurrection II

Another alley cat, come and gone. Taking place Saturday, 4/11, it was a collaborative effort, completed with the help of 7 other people, many whom of which were there last year and the same time, when Emerald City Bike Bloc came about. ECBB started as an effort to bring together bike riders in Seattle. To plan and promote events. Over the past year, a platform has been established in Seattle, a way to disseminate information about bike events, and many good times have been had.
Not always alley cat races; movie nights, benefits, and other bike events have been channeled through the catalyst of Emerald City Bike Bloc.

Personally, I have been nuts about bikes for quite a while now. Since moving to Seattle, I've been stoked to be involved with a bike community again. Though people ride bikes in Cordova, Alaska, there isn't much of a "culture" surrounding cycling.

I have been working on a few different projects as of late. A big chunk of time being devoted to these Emerald Sprints.

Stay tuned as summer rolls on and heats up. I'm sure many more events are on the horizon.

As for the Resurrection results:
Daniel took first place mens and RaeAnne came in first women's, so they both walked with amazing bags from Seagull Bags. The folks at Seagull really came through- not only in quality, but artistically, and the bags were here the day before the race. So nice. Check them out if you are looking for a quality bag at an affordable price.

Keep the rubber side down.

Resurrection II: The second coming

I've been a part of planning races in Seattle for a year now. It's been a lot of fun. This race is the second annual Resurrection Race. The first race I was a part of in Seattle was the Resurrection. There were something like 10 planners. Over the year, Greg and I have sort of adopted the race planning, with the help from others along the way. For our one year anniversary, it's also something of a reunion. The folks that helped out with last years race, at least those that still live in Seattle, have come back into the fold, and we are planning the Resurrection II. There are a couple new faces this year as well. Christauf, who is an amazing illustrator, and has been doing the art/design end, and helping out since he moved out from NYC a few months back. Karl has also been a big help with his creativity and organizational skills. So this is going to be a great race. I think that I will likely be riding along the route, documenting riders during the race, which I am looking forward to.
If you race bikes, or just like to ride bikes and have fun, you should come out to this event. Always a good time. See you there.
