Global Gutz.

30 June 2009

Global Gutz is an annual alleycat that holds individual races at the exact same time in as many cities in the world that want to hold it. A great idea for a simple way to try and get people to compete in an international arena, and get some riders out that normally you would never hear of. And while there will probably be some discrepancies on the route and difficulty depending on time, terrain, traffic etc etc, it is really nice to think that you are racing other riders all around the world at the same time.

Not sure how the creators would feel about it, but this idea could use some serious backing to make it a more televised race where you can follow the events in live time.

Congrats to Irek Gruszczynski and Anette Michel from Warsaw and Zurich.
