Bike Dirty 09 (Roller Racing For A Good Cause)

This found on the nets, good chance I will make this, pricey but for a good cause.

———-

Our good friend Chandler Delinks is putting on his second annual fundraising event for the Pan Mass Challenge this Sunday, the 26th of July, at Middlesex Lounge in Central Square. OPEN will be there with roller racing equipment and side betting, AKA “Dirty Betting,” is encouraged- proceeds will go to the PMC and cancer research.

Middlesex Lounge is graciously hosting the event and their top-notch bar and kitchen will be open for your pleasure.

A statement from Chandler;

“I hope you are ready to get your dirty biking on. Last year, the event was a major success, and it was only I, the Dirty Biker, who got dirty. This year, however, with the help of Open Bicycle and Middlesex Lounge, we are bringing Biking Dirty to the next level. It’s called Roller Racing. Google it. Get ready to do it. Fellow Dirty Bird, Beau Colburn, was kind enough to make this informational page about the event. Check it out: www.bikedirty.com In the spirit that is me, I have given you all as little notice as possible for this event. That’s how Dirty does it. Suggested Donation at the door is $20.00. You want to race? $10 suggested entry fee. You will also have the opportunity t0 place bets on racers. Dirty Gambling… I hope you can make it, and remember this: Every single penny that comes out of your pocket at this event goes right to the Jimmy Fund. 100%.”

Some serious competition will be present, the drinks will be strong, and the party will be lively. Come out and support the PMC- for, as Chandler says, “Cancer sucks.”

UPDATE: Here is a bit more “structured” information about this.

Hello Everyone!

There is a great fundraiser Sunday evening at the Middlesex Lounge that we are involved in, and would like to extend the invite for it – Openly Biking Dirty 2009! Visit the website here for the quick details – http://www.bikedirty.com/

The event is in support of The Jimmy Fund and the Pan Mass Challenge, our good pal Chandler, aka Dirty Biker, is riding the PMC for the third year in a row. Over the past few years, Chandler and his team are excellent folks, friends of ours and definitely need our support to make this years ride better than last!

Sunday night will consist of socializing, dancing and roller-racing – a little bit of something for everyone, bike or no bike! If you are not familiar with roller-racing, its pretty simple: head-to-head stationary bike races, 300m in distance, the speed and time are projected for the crowd to see – a great spectator sport and a good way to settle disputes with friends. If this sounds intimidating, it shouldn’t! The 300m seems to be the right distance for everyone, whether you race weekly or have ridden to work once in the past few years. We (Open) will be providing bicycles to race with, so don’t worry about it!

DETAILS
Where: Middlesex Lounge, 315 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge – Bar & Kitchen are open, so come with empty bellies!
Time: Sunday 7pm until the plug gets pulled.
What: Socializing, Dancing and Roller Racing – all things that get you dirty!
For: Pan Mass Challenge / The Jimmy Fund / Chandler Delinks Fundraiser

Raising $$: There is a suggested donation at the door of $20 and a suggested donation of $10 to race. There will also be side-betting, aka Dirty Betting, to help raise additional money. ALL PROCEEDS will go directly to the Jimmy Fund / PMC organization! 100%. These are suggested, not mandatory, anything contributed is better than nothing, so please don’t let the dollars scare you away!

Also, Middlesex will have the kitchen and bar OPEN, so please come with an empty stomach! They have been gracious enough to provide the space and staff for free to support this event, we would like to repay the thanks by covering their costs through food and drink – they scratch our backs, we scratch theirs…

Please email me with any questions! We hope to see you there, it will be ton of fun!

RIDE DIRTY!
