Even though we just posted about TCB Courier a few days ago, we're gonna do it again — right now — so prepare yourself.
Over the past weekend, a few of the TCB riders flew out to Richmond, Virginia to compete in the North American Cycling Courier Championships, and our homeboy/TCB head honcho Chas Christiansen won the whole thing. So what exactly is NACCS you ask? Let's take a look, via the NACCS website:
The North American Cycle Courier Championship is the premier bike messenger event on the continent. The hardest working couriers throughout the continent converge to socialize and face off for a chance at the title of Courier Champion. The weekend event will be a grueling logistical challenge of strength, speed, and mental capacity. Open forums, parties, and side events turn the weekend into a true celebration of sport, friendships and culture.
This is a pretty big deal, not only because it means that Chas is the best of the best, but also because this is the first time that San Francisco has won any sporting championship since that North American Stickball/Journey sing-a-long Championship back in 2010.
So congratulations Chas! We at Uptown Almanac are pumped you brought it home for SF, and we can't wait to see you at our door with those sandwiches in 30 minutes or less (cause then it's free, right? Or am I thinking of Dominos…).

Is this a paid posting? If we all promise to “like” TCB on Facebook, will you stop pumping your boyfriends business?
