2010-10-05 - Adam's Birthday Alleycat

http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=109063322488543

For those without Facebook:

The general plan at the moment is meet up at the Forum for a 6:30pm sharp start, so ideally you'll want to be there about 6:00, 5:30 if you want a beer and can swing it ;)
...
After that we'll mount our bikes for a couple of hours whilst completing a series of clues/tasks around Norwich.

Be back at the finish line (Bicycle Shop on St Benedicts) by 20:30 for scoring, a few drinks and some merriment. (If you don't fancy the biking feel free to meet us at the pub, but be warned, we may be smelly!)

The latest Update from Ellie 'The Gamesmaster' Whidden:

Ladies and Gents,
Your mission (should you choose to accept it): Complete as many tasks/ solve as many clues as possible in the allotted 2 hours using ONLY your bicycle as mode of transport, in and around Norwich city centre.

Each clue or task will have a points value depending on how tricky we think it is, the more clues or tasks you comeplete, the more points you get - very simple.

Prizes given (after in the Bicycle shop) to the most successful and best dressed teams.
If you don't fancy the cycle, please join me (Ellie) in the Bicycle shop from 8.30 onwards to help judge/ consume prizes :-)

Kit list: (per group)

• Pen
  
• Camera/Cameraphone (essential) - and it needs to be digital with a screen so we can check your evidence on the night.
  
• Health and Safety equipment (optional- although on your head be it!): Helmet, High vis jacket, Bike lights etc....)
  
• A mode of carrying items i.e rucksack (of if your super cool like Adam) a basket!
  
• Waterproofs
  
• Water
  
• Bicycles
  
  

Rules:

1. Teams of up to five (maximum please)
   
2. No motor vehicle shall be used- (electric bikes will be allowed only on presentation of a blue disability badge!)
   
3. No proof= no points (all will be revealed....)
   
4. You are responsible for your own safety- please respect the rules of the road.
   
5. Fancy dress is recommended as there will also be prizes for the 'best dressed team'.
   
   

Looking forward to seeing you there- oh and....may the best team win!
Happy Peddling!

Ellie :-)

I am up for this, but cannot commit to it! We shall see how things are going at this end a bit closer to the time!

Yep -this time will sort out dog sitter.

I Need A Superhero Alleycat!

Time to put your pants on the outside once again....

One of the Monkeys has stolen the combination number to our safe containing Grandmas special recipe Banana cake - We need you to round up the cheeky criminals.

We can't say any more - but we hope to see you on Friday for cycling fun and if you 're successful lots of yummy cake.

^ In which case, I'm sorry

Hehehehehe. Thurston hearts the who? Were you on the Norwich Alleycat? Is it you Dan?

Dan?

YouTube - Alan Partridge Steve Coogan- DAN!

Oxford Dan?! Becky' mate?

Looking forward to this, hopefully will be a good turn out like last time. I know Ellie is getting very excited about all of the clues she has put together! Attempts to get a sneak peak out of her so far have failed.

Yeah, right...

I'm sure you've got your route all worked out.

BUMP!

I am out, but this should be a good ride! Get on it and show ya support for the Ol' Sailor!

Oh and text messages coming out in all directions!

I'm not riding but I'll see y'all at the Bike Shop for drinks afterwards.

Hahahaa, thread starter but a no show-er. Bad form.

I'm not going to make it either, what with children needing to be in bed around said time.

May make it for drinks later on though!

Why aren't you two riding? Poor show.

Childcare. That's the trade-off for my low overheads - sometimes I'm needed at short notice. Matt should be back by 9 though so I'll be down for a drink.

what with children needing to be in bed around said time. May make it for drinks later on though!

I have already pardoned myself with a viable excuse, plus let Adam know and sent the texts out to the NVS massive! I think I've done my bit, don't you Matt?

Touche Dan. Sam excuses. Next time you can make up ya own...

Didn't make it for the ride which I was gutted about, but hey there will be more!

I believe the winners were:

1. Team Speedy (Sam & Trumpet)
   
2. Team Birthday (Adam, Sparky & Donny)
   
3. Team 16 (Olly & Jack)
   
   

Well done to everyone who entered, and Happy Birthday Sailor!
