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.

Usual details, except that registration starts at 3pm-3:30pm. I figure if we start the race at 4pm, we’ll have two hours for racing then 1.5hrs for fucking around at the bar, and then we can all wander up in formation to go watch the city spend money burning crap on the lake.

Thanks to Soze!
