Spinning with Rapha
February 6, 2008
Starting on Thursday Lizard Lounge hosted four days of events with Rapha. Rouleur, Rapha’s brother magazine, kicked off the weekend with an art show of photography. Mind you, this was no stuffy gallery type show, but rather one with a DJ and drinks – that’s more like it!
On Saturday the main event was staged in the space next to Lizard Lounge. The roller race brought out the most exuberant, to say the least, of fans, cheering and jeering the competitors. Clad in costume, the teams peddled their hearts out. When not on the bike spinning, they were sucking down local micro brews and wine, which would explain why buckets, yes, buckets were put next to each bike. The night ended with a proper Prosecco shower to the crowd from the victors of the roller race.
For those who still had the strength, Sunday offered up a proper road race around the Portland area. All had a good sweat.
Check out this hilarious article written up in the Willamette Week, pictures and a video to wet the appetite.
