The time is now people……on July 17th your homegirls are loading up the veggie oil coach and hitting the road. First stop on the evening of the 17th, Ashland OR. Then we head down to the bay to rendezvous with our blue and black sista’s the Derailleurs and to rock New Belgium’s Tour de Fat in Golden Gate Park on Saturday the 19th at 2pm.

The following 10 days are filled with performances in San Francisco with the Derailleurs on Sunday, Santa Cruz (organized by the Bike Church) early in the week, Davis Farmer’s Market on Wednesday evening, Reno on Friday and Tour De Fat Truckee on Saturday the 26th and finally Chico on our way back home.

But we don’t rest too long because on Friday, August 1st we load up our pink and black bootys and head to Seattle for the Dead Baby Downhill where we will perform at the evening festivities after the day’s antics. Saturday the 2nd is Tour De Fat time again. Then we take the couch back home for a little RNR.

And if you missed us on tour……August 16 we get to show off our stuff on our home turf with Tour De Fat Portland.

Our final stop will be the Boise, ID Tour De Fat stop on August 23.

All this on veggie oil and minibikes you ask? Hell yes! We are gonna show the west that the time is now is to get on your bikes!

The days are longer and seem to be getting warmer. We are officially in “spring training.” But with spring come more gigs and we are pleased to say that we will performing a few times in April (see upcoming shows). It feels so good to be back in “Sprockettes Season.”

Spring also means that our ladies from afar will be rejoining us in the next few weeks. Which means we really “get serious.” May is a crucial time for developing our new material and fine tuning the set we’ll performing for our summer tour.

That said, May is our blackout period, NO SHOWS. We know it’s a bad timing and street festivals are under way. We are sad to turn down so many kickin’ events. But know that we will be at our best when June rolls around.

Working hard at practice twice a week we are planning a kickin’ summer set. Look for new material as well as some classics mixed in with tricks and stunts that’ll blow your mind.

The Sprockettes are Portland’s all female synchronized mini-bike dance troop. We promote movin’ your body, DIY style, supporting our homies and livin’ out your craziest dreams.
