A few Coasters volunteered to display their bikes today as part of Boy Scout troop 726's Blue and Gold Banquet at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton church. Their theme was Cycling Through The Years, 100 Years of Scouting. There were 7 of us there showing 16 bikes. We had a good time and the boys seemed to really enjoy the bikes. Thanks Gina for inviting us and thanks to those who participated.

I received the following e-mail from Gina who organized the banquet...

I can't tell you how many people told me how wonderful it was to see your awesome bikes - I can never thank you enough on behalf of the entire Pack 726 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton for making our Blue & Gold Banquet so wonderful and memorable!!

Several Coasters took a road trip to OKC this past Sunday to attend and participate in the Rebuilding Together Construction Derby. This was part of our Weekend Of Gravity Racing In Oklahoma. This race was different from others as it required a 6 person team consisting of a driver, 4 pushers and 2 recovery people. The pushers have a 15 foot run to push and get the racer rolling down the hill. Once at the bottom the retrievers would catch the racer and push it up to the scales. This type of race gets more people involved and with the pushers has a huge effect on how well the racer does. As a group we had 3 racers competing. Wess and his racer Transcendence, Thad in Second Wind and me driving Thad's Radio Flyer. For being the first time at this event and this type of race the Coasters did an excellent job. It didn't take the Pushers long to perfect their method and to push me and the Radio Flyer (aka "the Wittle Wed Wagon") to a 2nd place win in the amateur category. The Radio Flyer also took the "Best Exemplifies RT Mission" award. Thad competed in the Pro class and got some good runs in but was eliminated before the finals. Wess after one practice run and a time trial run had an axle break. He and Dave hauled the racer over to the Ozarka teams shop where they were able to weld it back together. After returning with the fixed wheel he unfortunately broke the steering rod and wasn't able to compete. Lucky for Wess though his racer looks fast even when sitting still.
The racers weren't the only thing breaking down. We had a couple of Pushers with calf and knee injuries. Talk about "taking one for the team"!
Thanks to Thad for getting us involved, the pushers for their hard work, the girls (aka "speed Bumps") at the bottom of the hill, Randy's Mom & Barbara for the photos and video and everyone that came down to cheer us on. Also thanks to the companies in OKC who sponsored us.... Geo Testing and AAAA Wrecker.

A few of the Coasters attended the Sand Springs Derby gravity race in Sand Springs, Oklahoma this past Saturday as part of our Weekend Of Gravity Racing In Oklahoma.
Wess raced his car Transcendence, Thad raced his Second Wind car and Jose raced Thad's Radio Flyer. Thad took 3rd place in the Adult Competitive division and had the fastest car there. After the finals there was a "Grudge match" between Thad and the 1st place winner in which Thad won. Jose went undefeated in the Novelty class although they didn't give out awards for speed in this class. This was a really nice event and a fun time.

Nova and I were the only Coasters who attended the swap and show. It was a great day with a lot of bikes and parts for sale and a lot of nice bikes in the show.
Correction: Grillmaster Mitch attended also. He had already been there and gone by the time we got there.

Photos from the day here.

I had just found out about this an hour or so before it started so I'm sorry I wasn't able to let everyone know sooner. Thanks to Ty for the heads up on it.

This was a short cruise to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that went from Rock Island Live to the Shamrock Lounge and back. Once back at Rock Island Live there was food, live music and they raffled off a few prizes including a new Electra cruiser courtesy of the Bicycle Exchange. Several Coasters did attend.

Josh won the Electra raffle bike and ironically his Sister had just won a New Belgium cruiser the night before in a different raffle. At left are the siblings and their new bikes.
