Competitors will ride through a bar/restaurant from back to front as patrons and race sponsors look on while munching on burgers and sipping brews. The race is even a US Cycling Federation sanctioned event and, believe it or not, it's not the first sanctioned race with an indoor component (through it is the first through a bar that's open for business).  The first such race actually routed riders through a barn which really doesn't seem nearly as exciting. Bar owners have agreed to install a no-slip surface on the floor and they're taking precautions by padding everything along the inside route. There's even a rule about passing inside the bar (not allowed) and any rider who crashes during the warm up or race will be pulled from the competition. Sounds awesome, who's up for a road trip?

Allentown is hosting a slew of bike races on Sunday including the first ever <a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-b1-5tour-r.6020201sep05,0,5418707.story">Tour de Brew Fat Tire Crit</a>. Competitors will ride through a bar/restaurant from back to front as patrons and race sponsors look on while munching on burgers and sipping brews. The race is even a US Cycling Federation sanctioned event and, believe it or not, it's not the first sanctioned race with an indoor component (through it is the first through a bar that's open for business).  The first such race actually routed riders through a barn which really doesn't seem nearly as exciting. Bar owners have agreed to install a no-slip surface on the floor and they're taking precautions by padding everything along the inside route. There's even a rule about passing inside the bar (not allowed) and any rider who crashes during the warm up or race will be pulled from the competition. Sounds awesome, who's up for a road trip?
