New Haven's Other Secret Society

OPEN Bicycle gave the Scorchers some love yesterday on their site, referring to us as "New Haven's other secret society.
We were glad they could come down to help us tear up the Coffee Cat -- two of 'em placed in the top 10.

Justin Keena posted a great set of photos from his time here over at flickr.
Justin's got his flickr account set to "No Matt, you can't steal these", so you'll just have to follow that link (or this one). Scroll through, or just go right to this one.

Thanks again, fellas! We'll host you any time.

But we tried.

Milnes and I went out to the Edgewood Park skatepark today, shovels in tow.

You kids out in Cali don't know how lucky you are.



yep, that's all it is.

re: Coffee Cat

We're still working with the race organizers to get the full results to post, but for now, we've got Scorchers in the top three -- CT Drew, Sean Milnes, and Raf. I was a block away, but it looked like Bill from the Bike New Haven blog took fourth. Sixth place and first place girl was Scorcher Pandalicia, beating out close to 30 other riders! (Note: this is her second 6th place finish to take 1st place girls, so if she gets another, we'll know she struck a deal with the devil). Justin Keena and Zack from the OPEN crew out of Boston took first and second out of town. There were quite a few out of towners, with Boston, Providence, and NYC all representing.
Minus a few glitches here and there, it was a success for the two local kids who threw the event. The weather held, and the series of afterparties and after-afterparties drove on into the wee hours. There was a trick sesh at Beinecke -- expect to see some photos from Justin Keena very soon -- including one that is guaranteed to go viral in this digital age and end up on everything from Twitter blogs to t-shirts.
As soon as we get more, whether it's pix or results or race reports or what have you, we'll post it here.

Hijacking the afterparty

Race the Coffee Cat, get good and caffeinated, then meet the Scorchers afterward at Rudy's (372 Elm St.) for $2 High Lifes (with the supplied wrist band), Scorcher's in-house DJ Uva, and trackstands/footdown at the infamous Big Phil Memorial Tree Hump. Bring some cash for Rudy's frites or you'll hate yourself in the morning.

Coffee Cat. Today.

Get yer bike and get down to Wooster Square this afternoon (2:30) for the Coffee Cat. Or, you could just stay home and watch the CoffeeCat on YouTube.
