About me:

Yeah that race was lame. 7 people rode...5 finished...halfway through I just said to hell with it. I got something to eat and hung out with some friends at a checkpoint.
I hope the streets you never knew one goes down better then this.
I'm setting up a 6 checkpoint race for March 22nd...it's going to be a 24 mile ride and half of the money made will be donated to free ride. After the race there will be a free show/party at my house.
I will get you dudes info, a flyer, and all that jazz in the next week or 2.
Yo, if you missed "Go Fast, Get There First!" you missed out! Eleven people rode. It was around twenty-five degrees. The Downtown traffic was real shitty. We drank heavily at the Rock Room afterward!
Here were the races: Race No. 1: "The Wall" to the Roberto Clemente statue at PNC Park.
Race No. 2: East Lacock St. at Sandusky St. to the front door of the Carnegie Science Center.
Race No. 3: The Carnegie Science Center to REI, South Side works.
Race No. 4: Race up and then down a seven-floor parking garage at the South Side Works.
Race No. 5: REI to the Rock Room.
Steve "Champagne" K. won two races; Jason "Born to Run" M. won three.
What A cold, muddy, frozen hell. It’s a fixed course, continuous (no checkpoints) race that will cover open roads, fireroads, and some singletrack. Mountain bike, cyclocross skills, and/or the willingness to walk certain sections recommended. Followed by post race potluck… sponsored by pabst!
When Sunday, January 27th Race: registration at noon, 1pm start Potluck: 2p until 7pm
Where Race: The Smiling Moose Potluck: 542 celeron st #2–upstairs
How much Race: $5 or free if you bring something for the potluck Potluck: bring your favoritest food or drank
Prizes? Nope. This one’s for the glory. Maybe I’ll make you a golden spoke card or something
Come out and race through the woods in January... I'm hoping for snow. Or just come to the potluck. Or do both! I'm trying to get an estimated attendance so pabst knows how much beer to give us. Please email me at dave@pghalleycat.com and let me know if you're going to race or come to the potluck! I need to know so we can get free beer!
A flyer and the course will be up by Sunday, so you have a week to pre-ride the route. The course will also be marked on race day.
You know what we need to do sometime soon? Have an alleycat. I've got one planned for March and I think Steve K. has one planned for Valentine's Day. But what's between now and then?
I never would have believed it was true, but you can get print copies, t-shirts, hats, stickers and even other zines online... Check out www.urbanvelostore.com!
There should be a category for Ride Yr BikeBike for folks on really crappy bikes built up haphazardly at Free Ride upon arrival to Pittsburgh. If I can't get my bike on MegaBus, I may be riding a Huffy around town this weekend!
