Bicycle Bash by the Bay 2009
This year, the Skirts will again be participating in the Bicycle Bash by the Bay. This year the festivities will be held at North Straub Park in St. Petersburg. We expect a great turnout, and we did have a LOT of success last year! We will be selling our famous cupcakes as well as some handmade cycling accessories, so stop by and check it out!
FM.24.09
In what was recently announced as the final Faster Mustache race, The Skirts outdid last year's showing by over 5 times the number of laps.... which isn't hard when your previous record is two. This year, our team of 2.5 completed a total of 11 laps. During her first lap, Cathryn took a spill and was incapacitated for the rest of the race. Kudos to Maria and Sierra for rallying together for a strong finish from what was essentially a 2 person team at that point.
In even better news, our own Sierra won a pair of track drops for placing as fastest female under 21. Congratulations Sierra!

South Florida Call to Cranks
On May 23-25, South Florida and Heart of Gold Clothing will be hosting the Call to Cranks bicycle weekend. Put it on your calendar and expect nothing but the best from the SoFl folks! The Skirts will be there to race and to sell delicious cupcakes. In addition to an alleycat, the weekend will feature polo, velodrome action, and the Florida premiere of Death Pedal!
Sunday Long Rides!
The Skirts are bringing back the Sunday Long Ride! Last Sunday, Susan and Erin went to Seminole and back. Next week, we're taking the day off for Mother's Day, but the following week we will be taking another long ride along the trail. Stay tuned for updates on meeting times and routes! And as always, email us if you have any questions.
Fixed Fight 3=Total success.
This past Saturday was Fixed Fight 3, and the Skirts had a total of 6 ladies racing. Our cupcakes were a smashing success, and we even sold a few shirts and a home-made top tube pad from Susan! Here are some pictures from the race, taken by Matthew Parke:

Fixed Fight 3 - April 18th
On Saturday, April 18th, The Skirts (along with anyone who knows what's good for them) will be attending Fixed Fight 3 in Saint Petersburg, Fl. Last year's Fixed Fight was the official Debut of The Skirts, and we've had one hell of a year.
What can you expect from us? Well, we'll have some new shirts to sell (though in limited supply, so make sure to snatch yours up while you can!) as well as some top tube pads and hand-knit fingerless gloves, made personally by The Skirts! And, as per usual, you can expect to purchase and enjoy the best damn vegan cupcakes you have ever tasted.
The Skirts will also be racing, gunning for some of the fabulous prizes that organizers Todd and Pete have rounded up for one fabulous event.
Registration begins at 1:30 PM in the Courtyard of Cafe Bohemia - 937 Central Avenue, St. Pete. The race begins promptly at 3. Afterwards, the celebration/awards will be held at Cafe Bohemia with a Trick Comp to follow.
Be there!
Buy our stuff, yo.
Introducing the Skirts official online store. Many people cannot make it out to races, and therefore can't get their hands on sweet, sweet Skirts merch. We decided to offer a cafepress store, so you can order all types of wonderful Skirts stuff.
