Hack the Hat v5

Hey there!  I want to get this out of the way first:  Regarding the shiny new website – It’s absolutely a work in progress and likely will be changing even more over the next few weeks.  We, uh, desperately needed an update.  Ok, on to why you’re really here.

Hack the Hat 2015 – Cycle OverRide’s annual ride at DerbyCon
Saturday, September 26
7:30 AM
Meet in Hotel Lobby

The first year of DerbyCon, we actually cycled our way to the con from a few states away.  The last few years we’ve simply opted to do a ride after arriving by more conventional methods.  You’re welcome.

We’re not entirely sure of the route yet, but we’ll keep it under control with no major climbs (something Louisville lacks anyway). This will be a no-drop ride, but hopefully we can keep a decent speed and get around 20 miles in just over an hour.  Ok.  Maybe two.  Hours.  Not two miles.  I digress.

It should be noted that we likely will NOT be back in time for the first talk, but almost certainly by the 2nd slot of the day.  You are, of course, welcome to turn back early if necessary.

You’re best bet for this ride is to bring your own bike if you can.  Road or mountain or unicycle is fine – we’re not breaking any records here.  Unfortunately renting a decent bike in Louisville isn’t as easy as we’ve found in other cities.  There ARE places to rent and I’ll update this page with some links after I make a phone call or two.  We don’t have enough critical mass for this ride to ask a shop to open up early however, so renting may require you to pick up your bike the day before.  Again more details as I find them out.  The good news is that Louisville is planning to set up bikeshare stations and while this did get delayed until 2016, maybe it will be in place for next year’s ride.

If you’d like to join please let me know so we don’t leave without you.
