Restrap Second Birthday Jam

Ty — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:01:42 +0000

I can’t believe Restrap has only been going for two years, it’s seems like they’ve been around for ever!

Their second birthday is coming up in March and they’re putting on a mighty fine event…

“Meet at 1.30 at the Henry Moore Institute ready to race at 2.30. Entry is £5 and includes a free limited edition Restrap t-shirt for every rider. The race is followed by track stand and skid competitions with yet more birthday prizes to be won. Celebrations will continue into the night at Hukaz from 8pm, with showings of the Restrap video premier, Boikzmoind and To Live and Ride in LA. Oh, and beer.”

More info on the Facebook Event page.

A bit early on this one but all you northerners add 29th April to your Nokia’s because there’s gonna be a race in Liverpool.

“The general idea is that there will be groups of riders who will race around the park 3 times, its about 6.5 miles. The winner of each group will go into the final race of one lap of the park!”
