WOLFPACK HUSTLE

So I've bought myself a new road bike, the aim is to get fit again. I've packed on way too many kilos since giving up competitive sport 5 years ago (bad knees). I don't have a better pic of it than this one at the mo as it's in the shop right now having cleat pedals fixed to it, but you can kinda see most of it....

To motivate myself I've been scouring the web for bike related stuff and found some cool bits along the way, including this video of an event called the Wolfpack Hustle. It looks like a heap of fun. The idea is - a 42km route, starting at 4am for a race through the streets of LA, almost no traffic, 1st prize is a set of dog tags....



WOLFPACK HUSTLE: LA MARATHON CRASH RACE from Warren Kommers on Vimeo.

Wolfpack Hustle crashed the LA Marathon by hosting an underground bike race on the closed marathon course at 4 am. A once a year opportunity to race 26 miles of Los Angeles with no traffic.

This is the newest and third event in the Wolfpack series of underground street races. 369 racers from LA, NYC, SF, and LV showed up to make an attempt at upping their street cred.

Wolfpack has weekly ride at 10pm leaving Tangs Donuts in Los Angeles. Come lay it down. Everyone of all levels welcome.

Mate 40k's is nothing, Perth to Freo and back, my mates are doing 100 - 200km trips. They'll consider 40k as a joke and piss poor
