And take home one of these
i PROMISE
nothing heavy to carry this year
10 bucks pre-register, 12 bucks day of. First 50 folks who sign up get a t-shirt, everyone will get a spoke card along with food n grog provided by our sponsors.
everyone who participates will have the opportunity to walk away with some great swag donated by the many sponsors of this event
there will be not only an alley-kat style race with manifest, places to visit, items to pick up and bonus ?s to answer, there will also be a track stand competition, a messenger-style time trial and other events to be announced day of races. sure to be a fun event for all including things to watch even if ya dont wanna 'race'. hopefully most of you know an alleykat is not your typical race. its not near so much about going fast as being familiar with your city and your tactics for finding your way thru the manifest. its all about fun on your bicycle, not about whos the fastest. and being fast is no guarantee of winning, or of getting the best of the swag.

Bike To Work Week 07

Don't forget that the Bike to Work Week Commuter Challenge starts on Monday and runs through Friday.
You can log onto http://kcbike.info/bike2work to log your miles.

While the Challenge is primarily geared towards biking, we welcome anything that replaces a car trip - walking, taking the bus, or even carpooling. And don't forget that you can also log non-work trips like running errands, going to the video store, etc.

Please plan to join us on Sunday for some hard earned rewards at Boulevard Brewing. Bridging the Gap has come up with some great prizes worth thousands of dollars, and the good folks at Boulevard and the Pitch will host us from 1-4pm.

Ride On!
