Whereas; for the last 80* iterations, the No Name alleycat racing series has been a good time for most, and $5 entry for all**; and

Whereas, the aforementioned entry fee is, by tradition, "winner takes all", but mostly later returned to all competitors, transubstantiated into liquid form (the first round of drinks); and

Whereas, there may be additional prizes, not the least of which being a festooned tiara; and

Whereas, cycling in winter need not be constrained to commuting to work. Or going to the bar. Or "grocery shopping". Or Stupor Bowl. Or... ; and

Whereas, knowledge of obscure locations and optimally routing between them can allow one to best numerically faster competitors; and

Whereas, few activities are planned for the evening of Sunday, January 6th, other than perhaps watch the third season premiere of Downton Abbey***; and

Whereas, the drill is well known. Riders may want to bring $5, a helmet, lights, a map, and a pen. Riders under 21 are encouraged to attend, but those seeking a drink will need an ID/be 21+;

Now, therefore, I, ALEX ANDERSON, winner of No Name 80, do hereby proclaim that No Name 81 shall indeed occur this Sunday, January 6th at 6:30 PM. Manifests at 6:45. Start at 7:00.

** Save some recent discounts to encourage inclusiveness, and possibly other examples of which this author might not be aware.
*** The premiere will be rebroadcast the following morning at 2 AM and on Wednesday evening.

Oh, and here's a Facespace event link for people who like that sort of thing.

Durr, here's a map link of the start for the Faceplace non-compliant.

We had a great turnout last night with 22 racers! Congrats to winner David S, who was pretty excited to plan the post-Stupor Bowl (and during Super Bowl) No Name 82.
