Columbus Rides Bikes!

The Thunderdrome  is our racing series for mopeds, pit bikes, scooters, geared road bikes, fixies and mountain bikes. It place on Saturday, October 16th, 2010 at the Dorais Velodrome in Detroit, MI. The ‘Drome is steeped in history – this is its tale. B ack in August, a group of renegade landscapers calling themselves  The Mower Gang  hit Dorais Park in Detroit, MI with tractors, hand tools and a fistful of determination. They literally uncovered a relic of a Detroit passed – a Velodrome, or banked racing track, built in the late 60′s amid the tensions and trials of the riots that broke out in the city only a few years prior to construction. In 1967 or ’68 Mike began the project that would become the Dorais Velodrome located on Outer Drive and Mound Roads. The facility was finished just in time for the ’69 Nationals to be held. In the same time frame when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon, Mike stepped out on the infield of the Dorais Velodrome to return track racing to Detroit,

Highlights 15 riders 64 miles (TOSRV route from downtown to Circleville) Averaged 14.5mph Secure parking and snacks/drinks in Circleville provided by my friends. Thanks Dylan and Janet! Weather was beautiful, cool in the morning and warmed to the mid 70's for the ride back. A little headwind on the way south, but it was calm as we headed north. When we stopped at Rohr Rd a car drove by the group and yelled out, "nice legs ass." We were all confused yet amused.

That Riverside Schwinn bike you stole from me got YOU cursed - $200 (Boystown Cornelia and Halsted) Date: 2010-10-18, 3:49AM CDT Reply to:  sale-udm93-2011802165@craigslist.org   [ Errors when replying to ads? ] My black and white Schwinn Riverside bike was stolen when I placed it and padlocked it at the bike stand next to Hydrate. This happened last Friday between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. I went to the police and they told me that night about 3 others were stolen around the same area. If you had yours stolen as well, I can get them cursed for free. Unfortunately you have stolen from the wrong person. You must return that bike to me and you must also pay me for the trouble. I went to someone who has cursed, not the bike, but your families, and will never forgive your group unless I say so. You can get rid of the bike, but you will continue to be cursed. Your group and families will have unfortunate, terrible, unexplainable things happen to you from now on. I'm going to be out of
