We are now officially into Beard & Stache Fest- an event put together by The World Is Fun to benefit Treehouse.  Lasting the month of February, it celebrates facial hair and raises money for a great organization that supports foster kids by helping out with extra curricular activities.

Sprint your Stache off will be taking place at Brouwer’s Cafe through the support of Sailor Jerry Rum.  Come raise a glass to the stache and spin to win.  Sailor Jerry drink specials, prizes to win- it’s going to be a good night.

New to sprints?  Here are a few things you should know.

• We’ll have two bikes set up and racers will compete in head to head sprints.
• The bikes are stabilized at the fork- so they are easy to ride (no experience necessary)
• Bring street shoes.  Sneakers work best- high heels, platform shoes, flip-flops and cycling shoes… not so well.
• The first round will be a race against the clock- the top times advancing to a single elimination bracket.
• Grudge matches are encouraged- you can pick your opponent- race your friends- or your enemies!
• Distance is 500 meters- usually taking people 20-40 seconds.
• There are men’s AND women’s brackets!
• It’s easy and fun- come out and give it a shot, or just enjoy the party!
