This weekend begins the first of four in an event dubbed “Mud Sweat and Tears“. Team Wreck Stuff has put together the most insane shit I’ve ever heard of. Track bike cyclocross on Randall’s Island and an Alleycat in remote areas of Harlem. They’ve also thrown in two weeks of grass track racing. Talk about idiots using track bikes in inappropriate ways…

Dunno how many of you ride track bikes or fixed gears, but this Saturday will be a lot of fun. Basically a good place to get drunk and fall off your bike into mud.

Mishka and DART are sponsoring the event with some serious gear so come out and get pitted.

SLUDGEMENT DAY: Saturday, April 12th. Registration is at 1 PM in the Icahn Stadium Parking lot. $5 will buy you admission to the following events: the brutal and infamous Randall’s Island Circuit Race (the featured event); skid-hockey, grasstrackstands, footdown, and any other side events that we may or may not throw. How to get there? Here is a G-map route coming from the top of Central Park. It’s hard to get lost on Randall’s Island, but some basic familiarity couldn’t hurt.
