Urban Assault Ride

Monte and Newman, aka Team Spider Monkey, had a blast on Sunday participating in New Belgium Brewing Company's 1st ever Urban Assault Ride around Minneapolis. Spider Monkey finished 8th in their class with a time of 2 hours, 4 minutes and 24 seconds. Plenty of Chipotle burritoes and free Fat Tire and Skinny Dip at the end of the race to greet them!

"The Urban Assault Ride™ is a funky bike scavenger hunt that involves street-smart riding, obstacle courses, and a huge after party. Mental muscle is just as important as bike skills as teams of 2 choose their own course to checkpoints around the city.

The event is well known for its checkpoints where zany obstacle courses must be completed before moving on. We're talking modified Big Wheels, Bike Jousting, The Keg Walk, Inflatable Slides...and much more. The first team to hit all of the checkpoints and cross the finish line wins! Then the party begins with New Belgium beer and lots more two-wheeled shenanigans! It's a Pedal-Powered Urban Adventure!"
