It is not often we promote a poster as much as a ride, but when we saw the one of a kind original Marfa 100 ride posters, we had to share. They were done by hooking up a brush to a stationary bike of some sorts and each of one hundred people rode a kilo to create “their” poster.
While the photo shown is big enough for your monitor, a print version is here.
Here is stuff straight from the Marfa 100 website:
The 2011 ride will start and finish at the Capri building, at the Thunderbird Hotel in Marfa. From here, the course will take riders 31 miles out beautiful FM2810 and return on the same path. The average temp for Marfa at this time is a high of 84 and low of 55 degrees. We had beautiful weather last year and we’re hoping for the same this year. Please note this is a rain or shine event. Registrants can pick up ride packets on Friday, September 0, at Marfa Public Radio, 111 S Highland Ave in Marfa, just north of the main four-way stop. Last minute entries can be made in person on Sept 9 or the morning of the 10th. The $100 entry fee includes a $75 tax deductible receipt, a Marfa 100 T-shirt and a “gathering” at Padre’s the night of Sept 10. Feel free to post questions via our Facebook and Twitter pages.
