NEW BELGIUM BREWING “URBAN ASSAULT RIDE”
May 5th, 2009
The Urban Assault Ride is the biggest bike scavenger hunt series in the world! You and a teammate will take to the streets on a city-wide bike adventure. Plot your own course to checkpoints around town where you’ll take on physical and mental obstacle courses. Be the 1st team to hit all the checkpoints and you’ll win a pair of New Belgium Brewing cruiser bikes (and be the first team to the beer tent)
The event is well known for its funky obstacle courses which must be completed before moving on. We’re talking modified Big Wheels, Bike Jousting, The Keg Walk, Inflatable Slides…and much more. Obstacles change every year and at every UAR. It’s a killer event for anybody who can pedal a bike (ages 7 and up). After the fun at the checkpoints there’s an after party with a huge prize raffle and plenty of New Belgium beer!
Seattle, WA – Sunday May 17th Benefitting: Bike Works and The Bikery
We love the riding scene in STL. NorthWest, yet metropolitan, yet funky and full of style. Back in Fremont – this time with a bigger space for more after party craziness. Hopefully the sun will shine on us just like it did last year. Can’t wait to be back in 2009!
Price : Only $47 – 60/person! (Price depends on date of registration) You’ll get a American Apparel t-shirt, New Belgium schwag like a drawstring back pack, stickers, lots of New Belgium beer, tasty snacks , Blue Sky Soda, donation to charities, and raffle ticket entries!
