I posted some pictures. This year was just as fun as the last. It was great to finally meet some new people from the chainlink. It was nothing but good times with good beer!

"The Pit" with all the crazy bicycle contraptions was by far the most fun I've had in a while. It got pretty dangerous a few times while I was in there not to mention it was later in the day so I'm sure everyone was feeling pretty good from the super fresh beer which was fan-f-ing-tastic btw.<br />

One of the bikes I was riding had a chain attached from the crank area to a metal clicker that would click as you rode. It also had coaster brakes so I was enjoying some sliding in the grass from time to time. Unfortunately on one of my runs while gaining speed for a slide I pushed it to hard and the chain popped off. Needless to say it had no brakes so I ended up on my ass nearly colliding with the railing which I'm sure was pretty entertaining for those watching. Now I know what it feels like to have a single speed chain pop off while riding. I hope that never happens to me because it was pretty damn scary.<br />
<br />
I ended up putting the chain back on and riding around to make sure it was ok before placing it aside for another crazy contraption. There were so many bikes that I got tired before I could try them all out. Next year I will have to bring a camcorder and record myself and my friends adventures in The Pit, after a few beers of course. Good Times! I had a great time.
