RE: ALLEYCAT
the alley cat is a point to point race between the check points as advertised. in contrast to many alley cats, we advertise the check points so that:
a) it is inclusive. non-couriers can research and practice the route beforehand (last race a non-courier came 3rd)
b) it is inclusive. the organisers can dash for cash without accusations of already knowing the checkpoints, as everyone does.
**RE: STREET KEIRIN
**street keirin is keirin on the street, developed for gambling purposes.
street keirin is comprised of 2 laps behind a non-motor based pacer (i.e. a courier on a cargo bike) followed by 4 laps of racing.
there are no mandatory drug tests.
**RE: PRIZES
**the prizes for the alley cat are as advertised.
plus, any entrant of the alley cat will receive 2 cans of beer upon completion of the race.
the prizes for the street keirin are a trophy, respect, and whatever else is left.
if you are confused you should come to full city leather lane ec1 at 7.30pm friday october 18th 2013 and i will explain it to you.
