Winter Blues

It is pitch black by 5:30. Its cold, and cloudy most days. The Winter Blues are here and only going to get worse until sometime in April. I know that Minnesotans are a hardy bunch, but dammit I am tired of being cold. Not to mention getting to work before the sun comes up and staying till after the sun goes down. So here is some summer fun pictures to remind you all of what was and what will be again (but not soon enough)


This summer we started our Keg Rides. Pretty simple idea, take an adult cargo tricycle and strap a keg of beer on the back of it, and ride around the lakes till the keg it empty.



I learned this summer that my Electra Townie Cruiser doesn't like to be taken off jumps.



My KHS doesn't like to be hit by Mini Coopers while I am riding it. Go figure.

Theo Wirth

Last weekend The Alt hosted it's first event in our annual Uptown Triple Grind Series at Theo Wirth Snowboard Park. The jam format events are a great way for new and season riders alike to experience a little healthy competition. Our first event was held on Dec. 29, the next one is Feb. 16 and the final hoora is March 8th. The winner of the series as always will be handsomely rewarded with a sponsorship from The Alt and Theodore Wirth! Not to mention all the goody's we raffle off at each event. To learn more about the series or Theodore With Park (Minneapolis' very own snowboard only park with $10 lift tickets) check out their website. http://www.theodorewirth.org
