Friday The 13th Alleycat Recap

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 15

Ohhhh man….this was epic. Great job to all the organizers, I went faster than I thought I could go, didn’t get hit by any cars, had a fantastic time, and saw a bunch of great people. A+ would do again.

Basic recap: Go to all the local elm streets as fast and as hard as you can…at each check point you had to do something. At one they made us run around the block (run around the f-ing block!). But it was still a blast. See below.

More amazing pictures from Natasha at Pedal Powered Photography here.

Written by Boston Biker on Nov 09

This looks like a good time…I might even race in this.

will-pastry-race_08_cake.jpg

This is an alleycat/scavenger hunt that is open to cyclists of all
abilities. The race is pastry-themed and pageantry is encouraged. November
22. 1pm. MIT Stata Center (outdoor theater structure). No registration fee,
but be ready to spend around 5-7 dollars on baked goods. (You may have to
force down a Chinese bun.)

Thanks for your attention,

William Garre
