Welded Sykkelen

We decided to throw our hat in the ring and compete in the rail car regatta this year in Santa Rosa. Our idea, to create a viking ship to be powered by the four of us created out of 8 10 speed bikes. Our Team name, The Uff-Da's. Our ship, Welded Sykkelen (Norwegian for welded bikes). The regatta will be held in Santa Rosa and is a timed race with competing rail cars. The rules, no more than for people and it has to be human powered. Oh, and it has to ride on the railroad tracks.

The Rail car Regatta

Dave, Leland ,Will and I didn't think this summer would be busy enough. We decided to throw our hat in the ring and compete in the rail car regatta this year in Santa Rosa. Our idea, to create a viking ship to be powered by the four of us created out of 8 10 speed bikes. Our Team name, The Uff-Da's. Our ship, Welded Sykkelen (Norwegian for welded bikes).

The regatta will be held in Santa Rosa and is a timed race with competing rail cars. The rules, no more than for people and it has to be human powered. Oh, and it has to ride on the railroad tracks.
