So, I managed to get me and my bike safe to NYC. Cycled into work this morning, about a mile down Broadway.
Started chatting to some peeps on the NYC version of this forum.
And then, before I knew it, i'd registered for my first ever Alleycat. Check it out. I have a feeling that this is either going to be the best or the stupidest (or both) thing I have ever done.
Wish me luck London.
ps - what side of the road do they ride on over here?

Don't need to know your way around NYC do you to race down broadway. Its one long road.

Sounds great...go for broke!!

In the end I dropped the broadway race and did the checkpoint ECMC event on Wednesday instead. The weather was really sucky and the roads were slippy as hell , made me think that the BB would be too dangerous!

Anyway, I ended up doin loads of ECMC events and had an absolute blast.

As for results: nowhere of note although I did get a t-shirt prize at the awards in Sunday - mainly because I was standing in the right place when they threw it into the throng :-)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
