Most courier events are exactly that: invitation only....and that invite extended only to couriers.
What this flyer says to me is that these particular organisers are actually recognising the rise in interest in their culture and are actively opening the door to non-couriers welcomingly.
It's less a courier discount than a non-courier premium, which I think is fair enough, people like these guys have invested a lot of time and effort developing Alleycat race culture and want these events to maintain their authenticity, while growing to accept the wider cycling community....it's common practice in regualr cycling events to have different pricing structures for different categories (women, youths) to encourage more entries from them...is anybody offended by that?
Looks like a fun event and the more people who support it the better...any barracking, booing or sabotage from either side will be entirely good-natured I'm sure, it is after all a pirate race!
