This years course will be in the back corner of FDR park by the abandoned tennis courts under the 76. Parking nearby might be limited so we encourage you to bike down if you can. Looking forward to seeing y'all there!

New Details:
This years race will take place in south Philly. We will announce the exact location soon, but rest assured that the course will be a lot of fun and spectator friendly. In the meantime here are some details about the format of the race.
We are switching up the format this year.
Registration will open at 10:00 am
$10 or a six-pack of beer will get you into all the races you want to enter. There is no pre-reg.
We will kick off the racing with a 1-lap Time Trial (estimated to be about a 5-7 min effort)
Once everyone in the TT is done we will kick off the Open Race (30 min). Everyone will go off at the same time, and participants will be scored on an arbitrary set of criteria that may include speed, lack of speed, gender, and spirit.
Once that is done we will finish with a Relay Race. Teams can be of any size and we will be racing for 30 min again.
So the schedule is:
Registration 10:00am
1-lap TT 10:30ish
Open race To follow
Relay To follow

As promised, we have adjusted the times and names of the different heats
10:00 AM - Men B
10:45 AM - Women Open
11:30 AM - Elite Men
Registration is $10 or a six-pack of beer, and will be day-of and cash/can/bottle-only.
Registration opens at 9:30 AM and closes 30 seconds after the start of your race. So showing up late can't be your excuse to not race. That covers the course setup, hot coffee, some other unnamed types of beverages, and other deliciousness from the grill.
That being said, please arrive early and try not to attract too much attention and be respectful of your surroundings. Pretty much, don't be a dick! This is not a sanctioned event so don't ruin it for the rest of us. Also, wear a helmet, or be prepared to get mocked and judged by everyone else.
The exact location will be announced Thursday night — for now, just know that it's within city limits, easily rideable from the heart of Philadelphia, and parking is available nearby.
Last but not least: the Naughty Pajama Christmas Party follows at 9 PM. Get your naughty pajamas on! You are all invited, just get the address after you show your face at the race!

As the great day approaches we are ironing out all of the logistics and figuring out how to bring all of the enormous amount of prizes that we have to the venue.
Please keep in mind, for everyone that plans on participating in this amazing event, registration closes at 9:45. Because we might change the races and timing of the races based on participation we ask that all racers are registered by 9:45
Also keep in mind that entry is $10 or a six pack. We prefer the beer because it is easy to convert into podium prizes. It also makes for good hand-up action, and who doesn't like a little hand-up action?
Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend.
Cheers,
