2012 Registration

If you're looking for information on registering for the 2012 Almanzo or Royal events, we moved everything over here. Sorry for any confusion.

Maintenance

If you're looking for the almanzo.com site, it's down for a little bit while we work on a few technical aspects of it. We appreciate your patience and we'll have the site back up shortly.

We moved.

After a fair amount of thought and consideration, we've decided to move (all of the posts from here have moved as well) to another digital location. From now on, we'll be posting everything Almanzo related and otherwise over on the new site, Almanzo.com. We've also picked up a few new features like Letters from Mallory and have gathered the skills of our peers insofar as reviews, interviews and editorials are concerned. Please visit (and bookmark) the new site often as we'll be adding content on a regular basis. Thanks for everything and we hope you like the new site!

Best Always,
Chris "Almanzo" Skogen

Something new

Started up a little something new. It's over here. Check it out if you like.

For what it's worth, I moved all the posts from this blog over there too just in case you have a favorite one...

Thanks for looking.

Best Always,
Chris

2011 Gentlemen's Ride

Registration for the 2011 Gentlemen's Ride is open and will be done by postcard. The race is set for Saturday, September 24th. Each team of four riders must have in it's ranks at least one rider from the 2011 Almanzo 100. The event will be timed in a fashion that will make each team as fast as it's slowest rider (short story: work together and it'll go pretty smooth).

Postcards will need to be post-marked by the 13th of August.

Please mail cards to:

2011 Gentlemen's Ride
c/o Chris Skogen
1217 7th Ave NW
Rochester, MN
55901

I'm currently considering calling an audible on the start/finish, but I have yet to make up my mind for this particular event. Please stay tuned for more info.

Capricorn looking for assistance.

Brad Wilson from Capricorn Bicycles is looking for some help. He has been a big supporter of the Almanzo since 2008 and is looking for someone to give him a hand with some marketing stuff in regards to fine, handmade bicycles. If you're qualified and can help, please get in touch with him to see if you're the right person for the job.

Good one.

Word on the street is that Ron Artest wants to change his name to Metta World Peace. Good one.
