Urban Assault Ride - Seattle May 18, 2008

the Urban Assault Ride is funky bike scavenger hunt that involves street-smart riding, obstacle courses, and a huge after party. Mental muscle is just as important as bike skills as teams of 2 choose their own course to checkpoints around the city.

The event is well known for its checkpoints where physical and mental obstacle courses must be completed before moving on. Kinda like American Gladiators with a demented cycling twist. The first team to hit all of the checkpoint and cross the finish line wins! Then the party begins with FREE BEER and lots more two-wheeled shenanigans!

It is THE MOST FUN you will ever have on a bike.

The 1st year in Seattle and the 1st event of the season. We'll be head-quartered in Fremont - only seems to make sense it IS the center of the universe. We have some great obstacles and checkpoints in store for you - and of course a great after party. There are a lot of riders in Seattle, so we expect that all the local street knowledge will make for some speedy finishing times. The fastest takes home 2 New Belgium bikes - who's it going to be?
