New fields!:

In the words of Dean Moriarty, YES!

Tomorrow marks the exciting first week of the 2011 Beijing Ultimate Summer League. We are meeting at 12:45 pm in front of Ginza Mall on the southeast corner of Dongzhimen (Exit C from Line 2 subway). Vans will be first-come, first-serve, though we'll make sure spillovers get into cabs. No player left behind. Car-pooling is cheap and good for the environment. 15 rmb per ride (30 rmb round-trip).

If you insist on going by yourself, here are directions to the fields:

China Admin. of Sports for Persons with Disabilities (real grass fields).

Go on JingCheng Expressway (京承高速）heading northeast. Take Exit 6 (火沙路), then turn right. Go straight until you hit LuoMa Rotary ("roundabout," in Americanspeak). Exit roundabout at Tianbei Highway (天北路), then go straight until you pass ShunPing Lu (顺平路). Stay on the left once you pass this road. About 50 meters after you pass this road, you'll see a small white sign with brown writing: "China Admi. Sports for Persons with Disabilities" [sic]. You want to turn left here and keep going until you hit the entrance of the complex. Go straight after entering until you see the soccer field -- we're on the left side of it.

Expect it to be about 94 rmb from Dongzhimen, so arrange car-pooling accordingly. Save your receipt.

We play from 2 to 5 pm. Here is what you need for Week 1:

--WATER. There are no concessions, so bring WATER. Otherwise you will die.

--One white and one non-white shirt. Guessing you'll want short-sleeve.

--We're on grass, so feel free to pull out those cleats.

--Money: if you haven't paid me yet.

We'll let you know your team tomorrow.

明天是2011年北京暑假联赛第一周。我们1245点在东直门东南角的银座大厦（地铁出口C）前面等大巴往场地。先到先上大巴，但如果大巴作为不够，我们可以一起坐出租车。单成收费15元，往返30元。如果你自己往场地，场地信息是：

中国残疾人体育运动管理中心（顺义区后沙峪镇天北路321号）

上京承高速往东北方向，从出口6（火沙路）下高速，右转后走到罗玛环道。从环道走天北路，过了顺平路，靠坐。大概50米后会见到小白指示（有咖啡色字）写了场地的名字。左转后走到正门，进去后直走，会看到足球长。我们在足球长左边。
