NACCC 09 Recap
Written by Boston Biker on Aug 04First off congratulations to Christina Peck, who won the main race at this year! As far as I know the first lady to ever bring that title home, way to go!
Now that my legs are no longer shaking, my ears are no longer ringing, and my head has some semblance of a thought in it I feel qualified to write a recap.
If I wanted to be brief, I could just say “wow…” but I wont be brief.
The weekend was a blur of racing, riding, bike polo, parties, nakedness (don’t ask), and more fun than can safely be had in just three days.
Friday kicked it off with “bostonopoly” a zanny scramble around Boston picking up “ayyos” with each checkpoint resulting in more and more insane and fun side events. Bostonopoly was followed by a party, then an after party, then an after after party…no sleep till….Boston!
Getting up early Saturday I headed over to dry docks. Skid comps, track stands, sprints, car pull (yes a giant of a man pulled a car on his bike…I was very impressed), red bull’s, friendly cops (!! I know right), and general fun. I did pretty well in the track stand competition and made it to just before “one foot” before crapping out. This was followed by Bike Polo, and this was followed by the fast wheel alleycat. And fast it was, 20+ miles in less than an hour…I have never gone as far as fast before. Then it was to the after party at Harpers for Tetris comps, arm wrestling, and general good times on the dance floor. No sleep again.
Sunday had me waking up early again to go help run a check point, sweaty bikers stopping by all day picking up dropping off. From what I hear it got a little crazy near the end with different places sending bricks, pictures of male anatomy, relish sandwiches, and other fun items from checkpoint to checkpoint.
Between Friday morning and the end of the day Sunday I had put well over 200 miles on my legs, met a million amazing people from all over the place (Holla Atlanta!), saw more naked people than I thought I would see in a long time, and was utterly and totally exhausted. It was a fantastic weekend, big ups to all the planners, and to all the racers, and to all the cool people who made it happen. Can’t wait till next year!
