Why am I calling it "Cycle Polo" now? This is why:
Max actually played decently on a unicycle for half a game the other night, it was pretty impressive.
This is an organizational topic to get the information out there for people searching, and to encourage new people to come out and play. Post if you have questions or comments, you do not need to be a member to post.
You can also get information on short notice by
following us on Twitter.
Time: we've been playing on Thursday evenings at around 6:30 or 7 PM depending on when people are available. I'd like to firm that time up to 7, but there's no reason you can't show up early if you have your own equipment (or if you know the person who stores the club's [my] mallets, or if you are the person with the equipment). Other times can be negotiated as long as you can find enough people, just post up and see who replies.
Place: University Park, Grand Forks, ND, where the hockey rink goes in the winter (next to the splash park).
Who's invited: You, your bicycle, and anyone else looking to have some fun. You do not need to be in the club or even affiliated with UND to come out and play!
Equipment: Helmets. You can ride fixed, singlespeed (if you're geared okay), or with gears. We play on grass so you can take that into account. Any mountain bike is definitely acceptable. Chase and Max have been riding fixed with cx tires. You can borrow one of my mallets if you don't have your own; I hope to make a few to sell as well. No need for wheelcovers, but we won't laugh too hard if you show up with them.
Rules: The rules are simple, but it's a lot easier just to tell you when you show up. Use a mallet to hit the ball into the goal. Don't kill anyone. If you put a foot down, ride to the edge of the court and back before you re-enter play.
