2nd race 26 june 2009















hey, to whoever is reading!!
not so many people showed up this time, even thou this race was known to much more people than the first one! well, i hope that will change :-) most of the ones from the first one were there, and from what they told me, also had a really good time. this race was about going to several bike shops around the city and get information about the bikes on display, or about the shops themselves. there were 9 check points and everyone choose between number 2 or number 8 and those were the first ones they had to go, and from there do the rest. it was a bit longer than the first one but not that much harder. every one found them, and tom won in a final sprint against alexis, getting the 10 points and a pair of new binnenbands. alexis had a camera on his bike, i saw the footage already( really nice i think!) and also some pictures were taken both from start, at a check point and finish. the pictures you saw already and the video will come soon.  
 thanks for coming and see you at the next one on the 10th of july! oh the bikes not cars crew is organizing an alleycat for this next friday. behind centraal station at 8 pm

pictures from the first race














map of the first race 

hi everyone!  i created this blog to post all the information on the alleycat series im organizing.  i participated on the first one some months ago, i really liked it, and i got in my mind to organize something like this.
 well, its going to be a series of 10 races every second friday, or saturday, depending on the weather, and the winner of every race will get 10 points, second 8, and so on. . . and at the end of the series who has more points gets a bike built by me. on every race who gets there first also receives a small prize, that will be a bike part .  im participating also but i dont count for any of this prizes. signing in costs 2 euros.  As the races go on i'll post here info on how it went, people's feedback, pictures, and there's a friend of mine with cameras who is going to film, or borrow the cameras to put on bikes, so the videos will be here also. 
there was already a  first one which went pretty good i think! everyone seemed to liked it and the fact that there were no people at check points was a surprise.  on this one the objective was to gather bike parts to assemble a complete bike!  at each check point there was a sticker with a bike part written on it and everybody had to do was write down all those bike parts and then in the end i would confirm they had been there. most people found them all easily and did the whole thing pretty quick. 
here are the results after the first race: 

             1st          vitor\jimmy               10 points
             2             alex                                8
             3             alexis                             6
             4             tom                                5
             5             ricardo                          4
             6             manuel                         3
             7             massami                       2
