We're down to the final two weeks to go, and this year's event is shaping up to be bigger and better. We've got more sponsors, more community support and there shall be more radness than ever before.

I've got a few new tricks up my sleeve for this year's alleycat race, so expect a deviation from the past years manifests.

We've got Bandit Cross on Thursday with the public premier of the Bandit Cross movie, and on Friday we're borrowing a page from the infamous Red Hook Crit and instead of the usual sprints, which have become boring because Trevor will just destroy you, there is now a Fixed Gear Crit.

The crit shall be brakeless fixed gears only with any type of handlebar allowed. Expect a fast 10 laps or so, it's going to be a sprint not a marathon. The top prize will be a new set of 32 hole Phil Wood hubs. So get pumped.

Please know that all events are open to both genders, and I'd really like to see more ladies participate in the race and make a showing in the crit on Friday. The ladies will have an equal shot at the big prize for Friday's Crit race.

Schedule


Thursday - Bandit Cross
Bryn Mawr Meadows, 7pm
Free to all and open to all types of bikes, though we prefer singlespeeds if you've got one. Aferparty at Fulton Brewery with the public premier of the Bandit Cross movie.

Friday - Fixed Crit - Pre Reg
meet at One on One at 10pm
From One on One we'll ride to the race start, and have a quick brakeless fixed crit. After we'll head to the bar. Prize Categories: Men's and Women's 1st Place

Saturday - Alleycat + Afterparty
meet at One on One at 4pm
Bring a lock and a map and get your sweet self to One on One at 4 with a race start of 5. Expect 25-30 miles, all over this fair city of ours. After party to follow at Peacock Groove, we've got 5 kegs of Fulton Beer to drink and some badass D.J.'s

Prize Categories:
1,2,3 Mens & Womens
1st Fixed Mens and Womens
1st Out of Town Mens and Womens

Don't know you, but I should be down. I'll try and make it to the alleycat and the crit, too.

Getting stoked!

I'm looking for volunteers to work a stop for Saturday's alleycat. Anyone not racing who's interested, let me know!
