Urban Assault just around the corner
I’ve always wanted to try this event, it sounds like a blast. Plus, it started in Austin. You have to love this town. …
The Urban Assault Ride is the biggest bike scavenger hunt series in the world! On June 28th, you and a teammate will take to the Austin streets on a city-wide bike adventure on. Plot your own course to checkpoints around town where you’ll take on physical and mental obstacle courses. Be the first team to hit all the checkpoints and you’ll win a pair of New Belgium Brewing cruiser bikes (and be the first team to the beer tent).
The event is well known for its funky obstacle courses which must be completed before moving on. We’re talking modified Big Wheels, Bike Jousting, The Keg Walk, Inflatable Slides…and much more. Obstacles change every year and at every UAR. It’s a killer event for anybody who can pedal a bike (ages 7 and up). After the fun at the checkpoints there’s a ragin’ after party with a huge prize raffle and plenty of New Belgium beer.
