I just want to say thanks everyone, I had a great time and met a lot of cool new people. Big shout out to everyone that worked hard to put it on, it turned out great guys. I look forward to seeing you all at future events and getting to know even more of you. -John

Alex, Brad, Tim, and Griffin- Great show and some good bike racin' too. I saw some warehouse bike race on youtube and HoboBarrels totally kicked it's ass- I gotta admit I was a little bit scared when I first rolled up and took a few laps but the course was so much fun. The Lexington Alleycats do some crazy ass shit on two wheels and this was no exception- may have even set the high water mark for madness. I'm glad no one was injured (too bad) as there was definitely some opportunity for it- dusty, wet, rough concrete, and i-beams, what more could you ask for. It ain't no Hopscotch n' HoboBarrels. Twisted Evil

Thanks to all who were going crazy in the grandstand with all the shouting and support- felt like a Belgian finish line every time I rolled through. I know fixes aren't the coolest bike to ride this year but they're still pretty f'n fast- pro mtb man knows this now. I think it is safe to say that a great time was had by all who attended. As Tim said- all the folks who missed out on BBHB because of some lame x-mas party were s.o.l.- Cheers to the Lexington bike community.

Hell yes to everything Mike said... to the streets!!!

However, Brad, Alex and Grif did all the work. I was just the asshole who showed up and got the mic.

The bar has been set high with these last two events (Halloween and HOBO)

besides the wrist pain i got from going down that ramp - the impact at the bottom was brutal haha - i escaped pretty much unharmed.

next time i need shorter cranks though... accidental powerslides from pedals popping the wheel around every turn get sticky sometimes...

that was fun as hell though, cant wait for the next.
