Guys and Gals - I am excited to report on progress in planning for what will be the greatest Alleycat on the planet. I can't reveal all the juicy details but here is some info to wet your pallet and get your training rides/drinking on the right track:
Mark your calendar: Noon-to-noon, September 12-13 at Jack's Pizza.
Checkpoints: You need to know John and Justin and Skip and the Brakery and Mike and Peter and Sandwhiches and Mitch and Reused Outdoor Gear and Peter and Nate and Ross (your favorite wrenches) and Jack and Pizza and Beer and Partying and Racing!
Winning: You need to have the most laps (Yellow), be the first to the top of the hill (Polka Dot), Have the fastest lap (Green) and complete the most missions (Red). You bring the skills that earn you the jersey, we'll make sure you are rewarded handsomely. All walks are welcome, whether you come for speed, endurance, tricks, or treats.
Tracking: Our refined RFID lap tracking system will keep the data, you just worry about turning the pedals.
Celebrating: Specials from Terrapin and PBR will keep you refreshed, even if your just there to watch all the action. Don't miss out!
People: The usual suspects plus plenty of fresh faces. Young and old, big and small, and everyone in between. Tell your friends!
Helping: If you have an idea or want to contribute your time/expertise/connections, let me know: christopher AT faster mustache DOT org. There's lots more to be planned and all of this is subject to change/improvement if you are willing to put in the time and elbow grease.

I Forgot one:
There will be a white jersey category for the fastest under 21 rider.

I'll be taking that one home.
I'll be taking that one home. I think I was the only one under 21 last year. I already got that tattoo but I got it on my foreskin instead of forehead on accident.
under 21
Pat I wouldn't be so sure you'll be the only one. I met several young-guns at the last 2 or 3 alleycats.

I am getting so old.
WHY THE HELL DID I FALL FOR MY OWN JOKE?
I almost did too
but then again, I am not old like you.
number on a team?
I asked before but can't find an answer: teams are up to 5 or 6?
anywhere from 2 people to 6
anywhere from 2 people to 6 people
or just 1
if you have multiple personalities
1 person = solo 2-6 people =
1 person = solo
2-6 people = team
one loonie?
aight den. never mind.
That's not funny
goddamned prejudiced white man.
i'm calling the ADA
FM better get compliant right now!
Ha!
That's what I was thinking. Hilarious.
no more duo?
two are now competing with 6 man teams?
man up, pansy.
man up, pansy.
ooooh seriously. if there is
ooooh seriously. if there is no two-man category i'd like to know! and i'm definitely a pansy.
+1 for duo
When solo started there were not a lot of solo "teams". I think duo is a cool category for people who want to ride more than they would on a team.
ok mr "i'm just going to hang
ok mr "i'm just going to hang out in awesome weather and not ride this year"
(apparently, I'm feeling contrary lately)
Draft Alex
Put a check box on the entry form for contributions to a Draft Alex Team.
The only way 'solo' could be construed as a team...
...is if you use both of your hands Alex.
We
shall not answer this comment as we do not think it worthy of our time.
We know the real reason why...
both of your hands are busy (difficulty in finding that little guy).
