Team Loki at the Buffalo Bicycle Classic

Team Loki is officially registered for the Buffalo Bicycle Classic in Boulder, Colorado on September 9. It’s a charity ride where all the net proceeds (~$60 per person) go to scholarships for students at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Which is, not coincidentally, my school.

Currently we’re a team of two on the 35 mile ride – my brother and I. (We’re only doing 35 miles out of deference for the fact that my bro is insane and only has a single speed bike.)

If you’re in Colorado and would like to join us for the ride, there’s still plenty of time to register. To register as part of the team, click through to the “Select Categories” screen and pick the “Buff Classic Team Rider” button. Team Loki is in the existing team scroll down list. Our password is: hiddlesisourking

The 35 mile start time is 0900, so we’ll be meeting up then to ride together. If you decide to join in let me know so we can make sure to meet up! Should be a fun time, and I’m not just saying that because there is beer at the end!

Soldier in #LokisArmy? Cyclist?

I want YOU to join Team Loki.

I’ve been thinking of this since I rode the metric century at Katy Flatlands, where just for fun I signed on as Team Loki. Loki’s Army is big, strong, and infinitely badass. I can’t be the only one that likes pounding out the miles. (In fact, I know I’m not, since we’re already a three person, international team.)

Together we can:

  • Encourage and help each other get fit and train.
  • Ride formal and informal events.
  • Spread the love of our sport.
  • Raise money for charity.
  • Dominate.

None of these things require that we live in the same place. That’s what the internet is for. I want cyclists at every level, road and racing and mountain. There’s a place for you on the team whether you do races or just like riding your bike to the grocery store. Newbie? That’s fine, I’ve only been riding since March.

All you need is a bicycle and glorious purpose.

If you’re interested, let’s talk. You can tweet at me (@katsudonburi) or e-mail me at katsuhiro at gmail dot com.

In Which Loki Rides a Metric Century on the Back of a Foolish Human

Before the break of dawn, Loki sees to the readying of his trusty steed. He also make certain his minion eats some yogurt or something since she’d better pedal like the wind.

What? NOT NUMBER ONE? This insult shall not soon be forgotten, foolish mortals!
I bet Thor got a lower number. :`-(
Fly my pretties! Fly!
The mortals gather around their feeding station.
Who controls the ice, controls the universe! Or something like that. 
The mortals of rest stop two are spared Loki’s wrath, as they have prepared him a throne. 

 After 26 miles, he is read for a banana break. (He may also have asked the Chiquita lady for her phone number, but I have been sworn to secrecy.)

Drinking the juice of pickles? What vile sorcery is this?

[Editor’s note: Believe it or not, the Pickle Juice tastes WAY better than Gatorade in my opinion.]

More peanut butter and jelly! Do not delay, for my hunger grows!

The laziness of these mortals… let them have their rest, for he shall reach the finish line all the faster.

…after crowning himself king of Fig Newton Mountain.
