J Woz is throwing an alleycat! There will be a Mavic Wheelset up for grabs in addition to many other prizes. I hope to see you guys there!
…you can view them BIG on Flickr.
$5 gets you a card, tasty goodness, and bragging rights. Map will be provided.
A little something different from the usual Alleycat. The premise is straightforward: race from Albany to a point in Troy, then back to an endpoint in Albany.
Water will be available and plentiful at the Troy checkpoint. There may be tasty things as well. Details on tasty goodness will be added as they are arranged.
Registration starts at 2pm, race starts at 3pm. Troy checkpoint closes at 5pm, so if you can’t make 5mph to Troy and up that hell hill you may be SOL. Race ends at my favorite dive.
If you’re worried about bonking, bring $1.50 for bus fare for the 22.
Congrats to the winners!
1st. Justin
2nd. Gavin

4th/5th. Doyle/Mr.Smith (Serotta dudes!)

DNF: Jared
Big thanks to J at Steiners for the hookup with the awesome prizes!
Thanks to everyone who participated as well!
See you all next month for the Kessel Run!
I’ll have details up soon.
There will be prizes! It will be awesome!
For clarification — A fixed gear can have any tires it wants.
A road or cross bike (or anything that coasts) — anything other than a fixed gear MUST have slicks.

All in all I had a great time. Fun race and the weather couldn’t have been better.
Tom Lusardi’s saddle fell off his bike and he finished on his fixed gear which is hilarious.
Also, Rohan’s name is spelled wrong. Sorry that you thought it was correct your whole life.
Andy decided to undercut me and throw the seasons first alleycat. Hah.
Someone undercut him and throw one this weekend!
Rumor has it there will be a cash prize.
Any questions email Andy.
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.
