Weird rainy Weather for March OTen







Tuesday at the Y was awesome. 8 peeps showed up. It had rained all day and cleared for polo at 6pm. Cold and windy. Front wheel covers acted like kites. Lots of polo played. Justin (Hotrod) Julio and Conrad are stepping up their game in a big way. Glad to have them around.






Wednesday grass polo was the same weather pattern. 6 peeps, cold, windy and rain started about 9:30. Along with this crazy weather come sickness. The flu or some kind of cold is really going around. I have had it for over a week, and this is spreading.






The NOD is moving into a house this coming week and it has a garage/shop. So I'll be gathering up all my tools and soon.....Mallet Crafting by the NOD will be open.

See you Monday in Tempe and Tuesday at the Y.

Ten Grass Players ...The Best

Tracy, Mike T, Troy H, Mailman Jay, JimP, Larry, Leo, Jacob, AJ, and MiniMike.
Three games played. 5 on a side, play to 10 or win by 2. Each game takes about 40 minutes to complete. It was good to be back on the field.

Grass Polo Wednesday March 3rd/ 010




Troy Hacker


Tuesday polo at the Y was unbelievable. Julio scored his first goal, Davey rode freewheel, the three piranha trash talk, Mike T fell, and everyone else just had fun playing polo on the best court around. Missed you all that did not make it. (Justinrunns, JimP).

Grass polo is on tomorrow night. I hear that the MVP from last game will be there too. All three Piranha will be there to practice their cannon shots. Troy H will too. If I haven't said this before, Troy Hacker and Family are moving to Denver in the next couple months(job) and we will miss him terrible. Besides being one of the best polo players ever, he is a good friend. I hope the Denver cycling community embraces him, and if we come there to play polo we call dibbs.
See ya on the grass.....JB






Bike Polo at the YMCA tonight.




Anytime after 5:30 pm , come and enjoy the best bike polo in Az. If you are new and want to join in, no problem. I will personaly see that you play, and have a good time. Last week we had the dad of one of our young Piranha ( Larry ) jump in the practice session and wow !! He wants a polo specific bike now.


This is a family fun thing to do. If all of my family showed up there would be 7 on the court. I am very proud of that. And then if you counted my adopted and extended family, well you get the point. Bike polo fever.

This is a GREAT Idea...Nice Rahja and Denver

Blood drawn from an 11 year old. The Piranha !!













Piranha #1, aka Jacob Preston Boyd, didn't realize the cuts and scrapes on his leg. After finishing the last game of the day, his dad, Mailman Jay saw the blood trail on his top tube and crank arms. No big deal, right Jake ?
