This is it, my last and favorite race of the season and our chance to give back to the city we’ve been sprinting all over all year. This is a charity race where ALL the $$ goes to direct action. Homeless Action Committee are the ONLY organization I see out on the streets doing work night after night, so it’s only right that they get our support. You WILL NEED a lock and a bag for this one.
As always, we shall be ending at my favorite little corner bar with cheap eats and plentiful beer.
Ride any uni or bike or trike you like; as long as it’s got wheels and pedals and is you-powered, it’s all good. You will not be turned away for excess spandex or your lack of white belts.
Our spoke cards this year are donated by the Epsilon Iota chapter of Psi Upsilon fraternity.
For those of you wishing to plaster the cities with flyers, here is a handy 2-up flyer to save you some paper.
Race is tomorrow! I’m finishing up the manifests and getting everything ready to go.
If you need a map, bring one! If you want a decent black and white one, email me (andrew at bikealbany dot com) and I’ll send you the pdf of it.
On the topic of printing your own things, here’s the spoke card image, and if you want one print it, cover it in packing tape and throw it in your wheel. Be sure to print them small since I just realized I overwrote the full size one so you’re stuck with the 72dpi one, just pretend the pixelation is a ‘design feature’.
It’s a free race, what do you expect.
Questions? Just ask.
It will be short so come have a blast.
Politically-themed alleycat I’ve been wanting to do for over two years.
The Albany original classic alleycat!
As always, we shall be ending at my favorite little corner bar with cheap eats and plentiful beer.
There will be art! Scene kids! Drunk trashy people! Bike cops on poorly fit rebadges! Math! A great carrying of things! And some of the finest tarmac in the city of Albany. Ride any uni or bike or trike you like; as long as it’s got wheels and pedals and is you-powered, it’s all good. You will not be turned away for excess spandex or your lack of white belts.
Entry fee gets you a neato handmade spoke card and a shot at being the baddest ass in the Capital Region, along with a go at woofty bikey prizes.
Pre-registration via email to soze@fork-bomb.com is encouraged for planning purposes. Dear god help me make a better guess at how many of these damn cards I gotta make.
PS - please don’t get me arrested.

Thanks to all 19 of you for coming out and having a blast fooling around in graveyards this past weekend despite the heat and humid and smelly undead. Those of you who were complete pussies missed a great rid, and kickass prizes including an Ultegra front wheel, a SRAM Force brakeset, and a very useful copy of the Zombie Survival Guide. Too bad all the blisters drove the CBRC guys home, there was beer. Socks, guys. Great inventions.
