Kevin Bacon, alleycats, bike rider's ball...

Great race last night, kudos to Nate (a former Rider's employee) and Henry(?) for laying out the race. Below is Justin's manifest for the race, note that he has had all stops signed for...very good Justin. The alley cat was mostly disaster free. No big crashes or anything although both me and Justin managed to puncture one of our beers and soak our bags, a shame in it self but better than eating pavement.
We placed somewhere in the middle of the pack and could have done a bit better if the guy at our last stop would have been there when we arrived. We had a lot of fun and I have to say that the highpoint of the race for me was to see Justin do a Flintstones brake in the underground parking lot at Mayfair, sparks flying everywhere from his cleats.


The race took just over an hour to complete and afterwards we went to the art show and enjoyed some refreshments, and reveled in the bike culture. The good folks of the Bike prom had some bike videos playing on the screen including the cult classic Quicksilver:


Tonight is the Bike Rider's Ball at White Eagle hall in James Bay (90 Dock St.). Doors open at nine and there is an $8 cover. there will be a performance by the Velo Vixens, costumes, awards for the alley cat race, and live music. Should be good.
And to clear the cobwebs out of your head on Sunday, it would be perfect to go and see "Bike porn 2, bikexplotation." See flier below.
