What I Learned from Tournament Practice.

That playing tournament style games with pre-picked teams is much more fun at an actual tournament when you are playing against people you hardly know.

I want to apologize to Nick and Anchovy especially for any play on my part that came across as too physical or aggressive.

Nick, I'm specifically thinking about the time that I forced you into the boards in the third game, that was uncool. I'm sorry.

Lucky I don't think I crossed the line with you, but let me know if you think I did. I need to stay in your good graces because who knows when I might need someone to make some windows fit for me.

I guess the bottom line is this. Anything that happened in our matches today will happen much more intensely in Columbia on the 7th and 8th, so it probably was good practice. It just felt kind of shitty. I'm excited to back to just mixing up the mallets.

Our Bike Polo Club is Awesome.

Thanks Dudes and Dudette

Polo on Saturday, Race on Sunday.

This week we're gonna switch it up a little so we can go support some of those other bike related things that sometimes happen here.

So: Saturday, 2pm, Mt Pleasant Park, bring goals, play polo.

Sunday at 3...

October

1. Some folk would like to play this month at Mt Pleasant. To change it up, to practice for the giant court at the midwests, to get the ghetto flavor back into StL Bike Polo. Opinions?

2. About those Midwests: They are November 7-8 in Columbia. Any and all StL players are welcome to form up teams and come along. It will be a good time. We should start practicing with teams of who is going, so we can make a competitive showing, yeah?

3. The weekend of Oct 17th a bunch of our regulars are taking what sounds like an awesome motorcycle trip up to Chicago. For those of us staying in town, the new K.C. crew has offered to host friendlies with us, CoMO, K.C., and Lawrence, KS on that Saturday. Anyone want to take a cross-state polo trip with me?

Bike Polo every Sunday afternoon at Lindenwood Park! Most Wedesday evenings, too! You could get good, travel to tournaments in exotic lands (Kentucky) and win crap (like, really, crap).

Friendlies in CoMO and other bizness.

Next weekend we're supposed to meet up with the new KC polo crew in Columbia for some friendly play. Saturday, August 22nd. Leave the StL around 10am, play at noon till we drop.

Still waiting to hear about a team for worlds.

The North Americans were amazing. They pulled it off with a crew of 15 polo players working pretty much half-time for two months. We should probably be happy we aren't submitting a bid for 2010. Many people said how excited they were about the lock in. Folk from NYC and Seattle are planning to attend.

The 7th Midwests will be in CoMO on November 7-8, 2009. We may be asked to take out-of-towners from Lambert to Columbia. More on that later.
