Milwaukee Bike Polo Club

Good morning beautiful people.

We’ve got a huge weekend coming up for Milwaukee Bike Polo as the World Champion Beaver Boys (Beaver Men) will be traveling to Boston to take place in the Winter Lockdown tournament. This is the first tournament the Beaver’s will be competing in as a team since our victory this summer in Berlin. Combine that with the fact that the Boston Tournmant is stacked with talent and you have the fixings for some great action.

Guthrie Neuman of the Dans Ta Gueule Puceau Syndicate will also be in Boston playing with our buddy Hugo from Paris and Charlie from Boston (see ya on the podium Guth).

Wanted to let you all know that MKE has been very fortunate with winter weather so far this year. Thanks to minimal snow we have been able to get a lot of high efficiency polo* in. Hopefully this trend will continue as it eases the pain of not having and indoor facility. Bud Selig, when you read this text me so we can discuss further the possibility of playing under the field @ Miller Park. Same goes to you Allen Bradley, the Bradley Center with a little work could suit us just fine.

* High Efficiency Polo – Polo played once a week in a fashion whereas 6-9 “A” players  (slayers) gather for an entire Sunday of world class games, thus improving the polo abilities of all involved in a timely fashion.

aka “Kremin & Brian’s Tournament”

Happy Birthday Kremin!

Really truly dearly hope that all you slayers out that find it in your schedule to make it here for this. Should be a good one….
