We’ve had requests as to how large some of these custom trikes can be. Seems that I need to throw in a few rules here. I know I’ve had suggestions of making racing classes, such as custom welds, traditional, etc. And to that I say…”NO” no no…no no no. Who am I? Your principal? Nope, just your boozing El Capitan!

So here’s 4 rules:

• To win the race and cup, you must follow the route.
• 3 wheels, no more no less.
• Your trike must roll into a 36″ x 36″ chalked box.
• Human powered. No motors.

Anyone that is not in pursuit of the Triple D cup may join in on any wheeled or shoe powered vehicle of choice - Skateboards, bikes, trashcans, an inchworm, a hippity hop, whatever.

The bars do NOT sponsor this event and it is drink and race at your own risk. Be nice to your tenders and tip them well please. They put up with your drunken tricycle riding arses.

Is it legal…not really. Is it fun, hell ya.

Safety

To sidewalk or to win?

To win the cup, I know those in it to win it will be hitting the streets. I use the sidewalk most of the way, I’d like to live to race another day and I’m not quite that daredevlish.

Crossing your self and a hail mary before rolling through a red light on Mercer…like ’08s winner, probably not the best idea. Though he did win the glory of 2008 The Triple D Cup.

To each his or her own but I suggest the sidewalk. Your organizers take no responsibility for you.*

*Gloves, helmet and good treaded shoes encouraged. Especially the gloves part. Your participation in the race is your liability waiver and you accept all risks involved.
