Summer Alley Cat

Hey all,

As some of you may have heard there is going to be another alleycat in July (I know it’s quite far away but I just thought I’d keep everyone updated), the date is not confirmed yet but it’ll most likely be a Saturday (late afternoon/early evening). We’re hoping to combine it with a barbeque at the end (probably on Jesus Green) and drinks at the Maypole, so bring your friends/family if you want or just come along, support and enjoy the drinks and barbeque.

We are also hoping to acquire a few Go-Pros in an attempt to film the event (if anyone has any experience in this – any tips would be greatly appreciated)

If you have any questions/ideas or you want to help out please don’t hesitate to post below or to PM me.

Cheers in advance,

Joe

Sounds sick

sweet. ill be back to regain my title as collar bone is fixed, as are my bikes

Looking at them pics I might have to turn up in July to reprazent da over 25s and prove that experience and cunning shall defeat youth and strength.

Haha, we had some over-25s last week but they left before the big group photo.

But it would be nicer to see a wider age range turn up.

Sounds like the one!

sounds good! I have an oregon bike camera I could lend you, it's pretty easy to use

Aah cheers, that'd be brilliant.

I'll probably bring my GoPro anyway

I'd be up for this

I've got a gopro, will definitely bring it. Sounds good.

The idea of a barbecue may well lure me in. Any news on a date?

Most likely 1st Saturday of July

Feel like saving it for later? I will be in barcalona ;)

We'll try and get a couple going through the summer

Weather is looking good so far - fingers crossed.

Feel free to bring along any family or friends just let me know if you're bringing along extras.

If anyone has Go-Pros or any other cameras they'd be greatly appreciated.

Rob's spoke cards below:

Cool, i'll be there.

Now it's a bit later I should be able to make this too.

Prepare to be pwned by a man too old to know what pwned means.

What's an alley cat?

It's a checkpoint race, around 10-15 miles.

It's sort of like orienteering

Thank you very much to everyone who came along today - I hope you enjoyed the ride and the BBQ. Special congratulations to Shaun, Hayden, Sam and Ed for winning the event. If you have any photos or videos from today we're very interested - email cambridgefixedgear@gmail.com. Thank you especially to Sam, Rick, Andy, Lee, Nathan and all of our sponsors for helping make this event much better.

Hope to have another alley cat at the end of the summer.
