Grant filmed this up at the Recent PNFixed Ride or Die Criterium. Enjoy.
There is a Crit race on in Palmerston North tonight.
Couple of the boys going up for it.

We arrived in Auckland at 4am this morning. Had a few minutes sleep and woke up around 8 am. We were feeling pretty shit to be honest!
Todays official events started with the Meet & greet and then a quick, shortened Tank farm ride. We then headed to Parnell Rise for some good quality sprint races up the hill. Looked like everyone had some fun. Ivan from Steadyrollin/Red Bull hooked up some Red Bulls, thanks Ivan!
Frank, James and Ivy organised the races. Lester Perry from QuietChaos/Pavement Panthers came out on top for this event, winning easily, and in style. Crusing over the line, uphill with no hands on bars. Her picked himself up a G-Shock watch, $200 Qubic voucher and a DVS prize pack. Nice.
Following the racing, we headed back to Qubic for some drinks, socialising and some Sausages.
Afterwards we went out for another ride, ending up bombing dominion road a couple of times. We had 1 casualty on the way down. Riding on we then had another crash when Armand wiped out and broke his helmet in a few places. Lucky he was wearing one otherwise he’d be in hospital right now. We decided to cool things off and headed to Sals doe some Pizza slices. Best pizza I’ve ever tasted, for sure.
All in all, a good first day. Some good results from the DameTruth crew. Tomorrow is the Criterium, 10km around UniTec. Then the Main event – Skull Bike Club/T-Whites bikes Booze cruise at 6pm. It’s gonna be amazing. If you can get there make sure you do.
Photos to come.
Booze cruise pics – finally!
After going from 200+ out-of-focus and too dark photos, we’re down to 34 ok ish looking shots.
Good times had by all.
Auckland. Easter. 22nd April – 24th April. This is the fixed gear event of the year for the New Zealand people.

I hope you all made a new years resolution to ride more. See you every Thursday, 7pm at Civic Square for The Fixness, The Radness. 2011 should continue to be another fixed gear year.
If anyone has any ideas on things they’d like to do this year under the DameTruth name (rides, events, whatever) discuss in person or here.
The Penultimate event of this years All Track. Congratulations to Ken White winning the wheels, and Muzzle for winning the overall event.
