This year's race was awesome with a good turnout, and eventually even rain that wasn't supposed to happen. Most everyone that knows him is aware that Cole (wolfpack) broke his collarbone and 2 ribs coming down Baxter 1, and hit the bump in the cross street. He managed to slide about 15ft up the next hill he was supposed to ride up. Cole also managed to get back on a bike in a week.



For the 3rd year in a row, our very own Jack 'won' the race, and Brian second behind him.

Another exciting Swarm! event:



April 12th

Friday night, Emergency Room Alleycat.
Saturday morning, the main track events.
Saturday evening, goldsprints/party most likely at a bar in downtown.
Sunday day, block party! skids, trackstands, tricks, etc, beer, food, etc...

This should be fun for everyone, messenger and non-messenger. If you aren't a working messenger, you can't win the tickets to Toronto, but you can win some cool stuff. The track stuff will be at Encino, because well, they are fun people, and we like them.

There is nothing funny about a 508-mile, non-stop bicycle race through Death Valley, but for these Los Angeles riders fun is a priority. Powered by burritos and fighting sleep deprivation the four attempt to become the first fixed gear team to race the Furnace Creek 508. Eat!Sleep?Bikes! follows them as they trade in messenger bags and U-locks for brakes and spandex to take on the 'toughest 48 hours in sport'. Along the way we learn about their obsession with bikes and veganism, living in Los Angeles without a car and promiscuous chimpanzees.

Trailer after the jump!

A Swarm! event. Tell others.

Feel My Legs, I'm a Racer

10 hills, 10 stages, 1 morning. A race for some, an epic adventure for others. It is a tour of some of the less traveled streets in Los Angeles, from downtown to Silver Lake and beyond. There is no entry fee and limited support.  No car support please, spectators welcome on bicycles (you won't have to ride the hills).
Just riding up any one of these hills is an accomplishment. 10 in one day is seriously hard. Be prepared.

• Last year's report
• GPS data from last year 

Meet at Sunset Blvd and EdgeCliffe Dr. (Silver Lake Farmers Market)
Sign-up at 845am, leave at 915 (!!)
