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!
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!

FM.24.08 and Back to School Shuffle
Due to certain circumstances, only three of the Skirts were able to make it to Atlanta, and only two were able to race. Pam, Cathryn and Carolyn were there to represent all of the Skirts who couldn't make it. Pam did a very respectable 51 minute lap, while Carolyn completed two laps, one of which was over two hours long - here's to getting lost in Atlanta! Cathryn played mama to all, and we couldn't have kept our bellys fed or our sainity in tack without her. The girls also made sandwiches and helped cheer on the boys of Tampa Bay. Team Baby Seal Club, consisting of Pete Young and Taylor Norton finished an incredible 34 laps, landing them in 2nd place for duo teams! Congratulations are also in order for team TCBLB; 6th place! Corey Jordon and Jackson from SRQ dominated all three trick contests. And our very own Lily completed an amazing eight laps, and took 5th place girl! Everyone rode fixed, despite nasty Atlanta hills and we couldn't be prouder.
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
On the way! Safety first!
Pam and her trusty bullhorn
Go Skirts!
The trip home: complete with bathroom breaks at Cafe Risque. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Overall, it was a fun, successful weekend.
Next up: Back to School Shuffle in Orlando!
On September 20th, the Skirts will be at the Back to School Shuffle Alley Cat in Orlando, Florida. Orlando has always been good to the Skirts, so we expect a good time and a great bake sale. We will be arriving prepared with cupcakes, cookies, and whatever else we decide to bake, along with water and gatorade. Proceeds go to CASA!
Also, B2SS hopes to get donations of school supplies for area schools. The Skirts hope to have a good amount of supplies to donate, so if you have anything extra lying around, like crayons, paper, pencils, etc., send us a line!
