Bike polo

Ok, so who's up for the first annual bicycle polo match in Chico? I could see a fixed-gear bike coming in handy for this type of thing, and I'd also wear a mouth guard...

Can we ram other people? I see it getting physical which bodes more to my physique over those skinny roadies.

Definitely looks like fun. Is there anything we can’t do with bikes?

I'd definitely want to be on Jeff's team, and not against him.

And I'm bringing the big tandem!!!!

Gino Zahnd said...

Man, we'd be a Tour De Force if I was just on the back of the tandem as a hitter... but that damn turning radius!

Nice work, we used to do clinics twice a year at Chico State. Looks like you may have some of our mallets.

JK: That photo is of some guys in Milwaukee, I believe. We in Chico have yet to organize anything, unfortunately.

Hey,

I play with the polo guys here in chico and ya'll should come out. We still play at 5:30 at the chico high basketball courts. It's more or less dark when we start, so hopefully we will make new times soon.

Play Polo!
