I'm running a checkpoint for this and throwing out some prizes. I was considering winning this race, but I will be worn out from Friday and Saturday.
My prediction for winner since I won't be racing: Chase Hardin

Art Bikes
Some friends (you might know them as Electrocity) and I are are working on an exhibition of Art Bikes. We haven't set a date yet but I wanted to give you the heads up so you can start working on something. To whet your appetite check this Mike Giant x Bahati Bike, as seen on Hypebeast:
You know that's the Di2 jam, right?

Bicycle Film Festival - Call for Submissions!
While Josh on the East Coast is having fun in a ton of snow and Anthony is enjoying summertime polo down under, those of us in Memphis are staying indoors and remaining stationary. The bicycle trainer: going nowhere, fast.
While you don't have all of Memphis' beautiful trees to look at while you ride you can always pop a movie into the player. And what better kind of movie than a biycle movie!
(Nice segue, eh?)
The submission deadline for the 2010 Bicycle Film Festival is March 27th. Click the banner above to see the guidelines and download a submission form.
What's up with the BFF in Memphis, you ask? LOTS! This year will be bigger and better than last year and we're working with a lot of great people right now. Of course, we always need more help so if you're interested shoot me an email at cort@bicyclefilmfestival.com or Alona via alona@bicyclefilmfestival.com. We will start having meetings pretty soon and we'd like your ideas.

Bike-To-Work Day Brainstorming Session
Hey everyone, I received this email from Dawn Vinson of the Center City Commission in regards to the upcoming Bike to Work Day. May is going to be a huge month for bicycles in Memphis. In addition to Bike to Work day on May 21st, the Bicycle Film Festival will be returning to Memphis that very weekend! Here's your oppurtunity to become part of the action:
Good morning!
One of the Center City Commission’s goals is to ensure that Downtown is safe, attractive, and livable. Encouraging the use of alternate forms of transportation is one strategy toward that objective. For a variety of reasons, an increasing number of people are rediscovering the bicycle as a means of transportation for work commutes, errands, and social activities. The CCC wants to support this trend for Downtown Memphis and make the bicycle a reasonable, safe, and enjoyable option for Downtown residents, employees, and tourists. The bicycle is ideally suited for getting around the 6.5-square-mile radius of the CBID, and its use contributes to desired street-level animation and community.
The American Bicycle League (http://www.bikeleague.org/) has established the month of May as National Bike Month and promotes a Bike-to-Work Week and a Bike-to-Work Day each year. The CCC plans to promote Downtown Bike-to-Work (or School) Day on Friday, May 21, 2010, in conjunction with this national initiative. In order to make this campaign successful, we need your help. We would like to hear your ideas about collaborative activities, programs, and events that would make participation fun and as effortless as possible, as well as ideas about how we can assist you and/or your organization in any activities you may already be planning. We also want to talk about ways to encourage people to continue to ride their bikes Downtown after Bike-to-Work Day is over. As national attention is focused on issues such as urban sprawl and the revitalization of urban centers, it is becoming clear that the cities that will thrive in the future are the ones that not only accommodate but encourage a variety of transportation modes – public and personal, motorized and human-powered.
Please join us for a brainstorming session on Thursday, January 21, 2010, at noon here in the CCC conference room at 114 North Main Street (Main and Adams, across from City Hall). Lunch will be provided. Please contact me to confirm your attendance by Tuesday, January 19. We look forward to hearing your ideas and working with you on this initiative.

Film at the Brooks: Visoneers
Thursday, July 16 | 7:30 pm-only 5 bucks!
Ride your bike and get $1 off your ticket!
If you're into supporting Indie Memphis and the Brooks Museum, then you'll love our next film. Visioneers, a movie about exploding people, demands of its viewers a certain experience in the common workplace.
This quirky black comedy by first time feature filmmaker Jared Drake, concerns a curious spike in cases of spontaneous human combustion at the singular Jeffers Corporation. Starring comedian Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover and Judy Greer (Kitty) from Arrested Development.
