Saturday, April 3, 2010 - Sunday, April 4, 2010

Host club:

ABQ Bike Polo

Albuquerque Polo will be hosting it's first Tourney. 16 teams max. Registration open so e-mail me and reserve a spot. It's says regional polo but to be clear it is NOT THE SOUTHWEST REGIONAL INVITE. We are looking to make polo friends in the area. I know it's on the same day as another but we figured we're far enough away to not bother Lexington. Standard Double Elimination (round robin for seeding if time allows) as well as a 2v2 where your partner must be from a different city. Prizes for both. Location is pretty sweet and ON LOCK! 20$ per three person team (had to raise it. sorry guys. also covers the 2v2 tourney). This is to pay for a permit and perhaps some food.

Contact info:

505-610-6584

Court size:

1 Hockey Court with walls and rounded corners. Exact dimensions to come

Location

Herb Martinez Park

Cam Carlos Rey

Santa Fe, NM

I'd love to come to this but easter? For the deeply religious with families that day is forever blocked out. Wish it could be a week or two earlier.

Speaking of blocked out, how is that date coming for the SCC. I thought we decided on Tulsa for the bid, but i am trying to remember why we did that?

Yea that easter thing is a bummer but to be honest most of us here are far from deeply religious. It'll more likely be something to do on a day when we'd have nothing else to do. It also lines up with a big bike week thing we're doing. If all goes well though maybe we'll be inspired to do another on date that works for everyone. We'd love to host Tulsa.

Rad. We're hoping to pool up a number of fresh teams just to fill out the ranks. Bret's 2v2 multi-town mixer sounds like a hoot to boot.

Also, the week following we have grass track and capture the flag on Tuesday, an alleycat Wednesday, and a final round sprint on Friday (pool of prior sprint victors and top contenders) with a bike movie night that Sunday.

Wowee! Take the whole week off!

Man, I'm super bummed that it's Easter weekend...my lady's fam will be in town so I won't be able to make it.

Move it to the middle/end of April!!!!!! Just kidding...but not really :)

Anyway, I posted it up and am asking around. Hopefully SD will be able to send a team and if so, make sure you sign up a bunch of rookie teams so we have some competition ;)

So you early signer uppers get a say in this: We could house everyone back home in Albuquerque. It's less than an hour from Santa Fe. OR we can camp outside of santa fe at a huge campsite and have a party there. it's ten bucks per site so that's split between however many people you have in your vehicle. It also sounds way more fun in my opinion. Here's the info on he campsite: http://www.explorenm.com/camping/HydePark/

Camping may not be such a good idea. Santa Fe Ski Area (just up the road) has a 107" base right now. I think there is about 3 feet of snow at the Hyde Park campground (elevation ~ 9,000'). So unless you are a burly camper with some really warm gear, we may want to drive/take the train back to ABQ.

I could host a team or two at my house in the UNM/Nobhill area.

Just a thought.

Mega snow this winter. No way it'll be gone in a month. However, I think we can manage accommodations. I could provide space too. I could even see about allowing camping in my yard. Gotta check with neighbors as it's sort of close quarters. They're all tight though. Hell, we'll make a block party of it.

Besides, Denver knows how smooth I keep my walls. It's an international attraction.

This sort of snow pack won't be gone til early June (at the elevation we're camping at at least). I know this, because, as New Mexicans we keep tabs on snow pack, runoff, river levels and any meteorological variations that may affect the above. Weird shit.

I have a DVD full of photos from this weekend. If anyone wants a disc I could mail them out to PHX, SD or Denver and you guys could distribute them. I will post up some on the ABQ Bike polo page under Santa Fe Tourney in the next few days.

Thanks all for coming out, especially the out-of-towners, you showed us some real polo and skills. NM will have to step up so we can compete with the rest of the southwest. lol. Sorry for losing my cool, I had a blast regardless.

Thanks Again,

Robin C.

Robin,

I would love to have some photos from the weekend to put up on our site...and I'm sure the SD team would love to have them. Is there any way you could just get them to me online? If not, let me know and I'll get you an address to send a disc to.

Also - the SD team was super stoked on their shootout victory and Trevor mentioned that Hanna (sp?) from Phoenix / AZ recorded it on video. Anyone know if this is true? and if so, we would love to get a copy if possible. Thanks!

Glad everything went well...still bummed I didn't make it. Next year for sure.

Sounds great, thanks!

I really hope we can host something sometime before the end of the year...but that all depends on securing a court. I am making it my top priority as soon as we get back from the IE beginners tourney this weekend. I will keep you all updated.

Congrats by the way...heard you guys kicked some butt!

Great weekend! I'm so glad everyone had a good time and brought the party. Robin and Mr. Klink are the shit and I have a feeling they'll throw the best bike polo tournament ever one day.

ABQ: Thanks much for throwing an awesome tournament! First class all the way, I regret that we didn't get down to the party, but all good I hear. Pumped to play with you all in the future - come up north when you have the chance. And Robin, thanks for playing with passion - no hard feelings from our end.

Denver: way to kick some ass despite being dragged down by that Boulderite (zing!). Just don't forget who took home The Colorado Cup. When you are ready to try and win it for once, just let us know....
