2010-08-15 - Tour of Norwich Alleycat (Tour Of Britain Stage 6 Warm-Up!)

September 15 · 6:30pm - 10:00pm

Starting at The Forum, 2 Millennium Plain, Bethel Street
Norwich, United Kingdom

The Tour of Norwich Alleycat is a big bicycle treasure hunt around our city, seeking out interactive checkpoints on route to The Bicycle Shop on St Benedicts for a social.

Norwich Alleycats are all about enjoying exploring our city, whatever your bicycle and whatever pace you enjoy pedaling it around the city.

The fun starts at The Forum at 6.30pm where you'll be given a gamecard, with 8 checkpoint locations on. All you have to d...o is plot your own route around them, on route to the finish.

You can ride in groups or as an individual, and an A to Z is always handy

Facebook Event is here.

Can't wait !

I'm so up for this.

Moi deux.

Are we riding this as a team? Would be great to have a nice ride, take some pictures as we are going and all that jazz.

I'm up for teams, but I want to ride this one hard!

(rides by himself then!)

:)

You're fast.

No I meant I'll be riding this by myself as I won't be able to keep up!

Go team NVS! We will obliterate the competition.

:)

I only average 21mph on the fixed if I really go for it, really, really go for it. It doesn't last long and its not a pretty sight.

At my gear ratio my legs would just be a blur if I was going at that speed.

I remember doing 25mph around the hypodrome in Paris. Best road I've ever ridden on, one way traffic and no cars.

I fear we may not be taking this in the spirit it was intended....

But I'm still going to average 21mph.

Put a decimal point between them two numbers and you have my average speed.

Gamecard implies competition, which absolutely means winning by any means necessary.

Gem said I can if I want, but I'm a sore looser!

Only kidding, I am a sore looser, but don't think it would be fair on my part!

Why not?

Well done Sparky for the linkback from 14BIKECO.

I'm definitely in for this. The thing that threatened to disrupt it has been confirmed for not-Wednesday.

Have to say I'm well looking forward to this. Hope attendance is good and the weather holds!

Pints in the Bicycle Shop afterwards?

I hope the attendance is good also. Come on guys. Show your coplours and come out in force. FUCK FAIRWEATHER ALSO!

I don't mind getting wet, it's just my tyres are really not suited to the rain - as evidenced by a powerslide the other week and an epic front wheel skid to endo the other night.

Doesn't matter, I'll just be slower in the wet.

Gatorskins grip brilliantly in the wet, haven't let me down... yet.

Don't think I'll be in tomorrow boys, I'm off to see Fun loving criminals at the UEA.

This sounds ace. Unfortunately have a lot of out of town gigs this week, practices and still no bike. balls.

I rode out last night on slicks, this rain isn't that slippery. Maybe [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-Cycles-Stabilisers/dp/B000WR55D8"]these[/ame] would help?
