This summer will be the second (2nd) annual installment of Bike-A-Palooza. This event is in celebration of all things bicycle. New Belgium Brewing is coming back. They’re bringing bikes to raffle off. The MAIN reason for this event is to buy and supple bikes for under privileged kids.
I am in charge of games. I’ve got three (3) kids games lined up. I’ve also got five (5) or six (6) adult games lined up. Back by popular demand will be bike jousting. For this event contestants will ride supplied BMX bikes and joust with supplied lances.
I’ve made the lances. They are made up of a ten foot (10’) section of PVC pipe with a boxing glove at one (1) end. We make the contestants wear some protective gear.
This year I’m adding chariot races. Think Ben Hur on bikes. Homemade chariots will be pulled by a bike. The chariot rider is not allowed to sit or kneel and is highly encouraged to bring a cardboard or plastic sword for competition bopping.
Here’s a quickie sketch of my chariot prototype.
If you are from my neck of the woods or can plan to be here, the last Saturday in June is when this all goes down. Let me know if you need more information. Everyone is welcome to come play.
Ride On.
