ok here is how it's breaking down...

Start/Finish at Al's bar. Registration 5pm. Race 7pm sharp.

Bring bag, lock, lights, and your legs.

$5 entry fee, plus drinking money.

All proceeds/donations go toward polo court construction.

Bring everyone you know that enjoys riding a bike because even casual riders will enjoy the beer specials and feel good about supporting the bike community.

posters are up around town, myspace is in effect, been up on the front page of this site and at the top of the Alleycats, Races & Events forum for some time now. Basically not any different than the usual ways these races are locally promoted... so, it's definitely out there.

If anyone is wanting more races, or any other bike events - by all means, step up and make one happen. We're (hopefully) all in this together to help make this town a better place for bikes and a more fun, interesting city all around.

The bike scene here will get stale fast if all we do is put on alleycats with the same format, and the same group of riders showing up all the time. Props to all those who have helped to mix it up a bit.

Do you need help with checkpoints? with a cast resulting from the polo tourney in chicago, there is little i can do that is involved with high speeds. email me if you do.

i don't mean to sound like a square but do most alley cats involve a lot of red light running? I've only done the warehouse race and loved it, I'm interested in doing alley cat races but I really don't want to blow through red lights so that I can remain competitive.

technically, they say not to, if you are going to try to win, prolly. that said, i generally dont, and generally finish mid pack in the 3 or 4 ive done.

its more just about fun than anything else

Its up to you, but I say if you've never run a red light in the course of your every day riding, don't start doing it in the middle of an alleycat. Riding above your skill level because you're getting carried away by the race is a good way to get hurt.

Be prepared to sing the guitar solo from YYZ at a checkpoint.
