Some of the Water Bottles are Pink. Oh Yes They Are.

This one's pretty easy. What do you say about your local bike shop? Thank you Denny and Eric Petersen for once again supporting the Peckerhead Invitational. Every year we go back to them and every year they just come through and deliver the goods for our crew. So, leave your flask at home.  Y-Not has kicked in enough pink water bottles to hold all of your water and on-the-bike vodka tonics.

Oh yeah... and thank you guys for teaching me how to build bikes fifteen or more years ago. I still use tools I bought at Y-Not way back when.

What is This "Bonk" of Which You Speak?

Dear Jay,

Clif Bar & Co. is happy to provide 196 Clif Shot Gels and 216 Clif Shot Bloks in support of The 11th Annual Peckerhead Invitational on June 18th. Your shipment is set to arrive on June 10th and is meant to be enjoyed by your event participants, volunteers and fulltime staff.

I just spent the last half hour looking for our "fulltime staff"...  who the hell are they?  But besides that, the goods arrived today and all my "ran out of food" excuses just went out the window.  Thank you Clif Bar!

Leiter Begins Journey to PeckerHeadQuarters

Original Peckerhead, P. Leiter has begun his journey from southern Ohio to rendezvous with his homies on Saturday June 18th. The photograph at left -- submitted by P-Head J. Stites from his organic pot farm and meth lab in Colorado -- suggests that Leiter is adapting well to the southern Ohio, er, lifestyle.

As our readers may know, Leiter once rode a vintage Marx Toys Green Machine across the country. Aside from his cross-country vehicle, Leiter has also piloted mountain bikes, recumbents, and a Merlin road bike. And those are just the bikes he's ridden. I shudder to recall the Tequila soaked days just off the AU campus.

Uhmmm, That Won't Work...

For whatever reason, there have been a number of road closures this year that may or may not affect our routing.  A bridge on North Liberty is out and impassable.  We also have a bridge situation on St. James / Kings Corners  that may still work.  The Full Pecker and John Holmes routes have had to be altered to deal with the North Liberty bridge.  Maps are updated.  We'll keep you posted on other stuff that may get you hopelessly lost and possibly killed by feral pigs.

Pedal On, Peckerhead
