Alleycat this friday! 6:30 for 7pm start on Broad Street.
From the fb event page:
Oxford has as many Bridges as Alleyways so BridgeCat 18th May will take round the well known & hidden bridges of Oxford city.
Finishing point will be behind Cycle Centre on Walton St who are opening late for any rider who has any problems on route. Drinks at The Victora across the road.
Track Standing comp after Alleycat if weather holds.
More details to folow

Sounds like a great alleycat and as I've been meaning to come into town for one it would have been a good one to start with. But unfortunately I'm moth trapping on Friday night.
Not quite as epic as caferacer91 but hopefully we might turn up one of these fellas if we're lucky ...

It's an Elaphant Hawk Moth - they should be flying in the next few weeks, if it warms up a bit.
Definately - I'll keep an eye out for events.

ha! if only it was that easy, you need to run mercury vapour lamps for a couple of hours to stand a chance of catching any of those - maybe if your running a couple of Hope Vision 4 ...

How was the bridgecat? had to get the kids from choir @7.15 so no play for me......................................

Bridgecat was good fun, we got sent up Headington Hill, I managed to lose the rest of my team as usual and it ended in beerage, trackstanding, skidding and goofing about on the Surly Pugsley out the back of Cycle Centre in Jericho. The heavens opened on the way home and I got soaked through but thankfully I'd won a nice dry cap to put on once I'd got home.
There's a video which will hopefully be put up soon.

6:30pm outside tourist information in Broad Street I hear you say?
In!
Sweet, some activity in the sub forum!
I saw a couple of guys in Marston on Monday night, just down the road from the co-op... One on what looked like an orange framed bike, with chrome drops? On my way back later, there appeared to be a third person with them.
Anyone on here?
