The 1st monthly b.r.ALLEY CAT race, titled KNOW YOUR DOWNTOWN, was held last night in downtown Baton Rouge. A grand total of 12 riders participated, and tore thru the downtown area from 7PM to 8PM. Last night was an unusually busy night in downtown Baton Rouge. There were several Mardi Gras balls occurring at the River Center, a few swank parties at the Shaw Center for the Arts, a convention at the Hilton Capital Center, all in addition to the normal Friday night activity at Red Star, Third Street, Tsunami, etc etc etc.
For the race, all the riders locked their bikes to the fence of the Old Capital, and were directed to the far side of the fountain that lies between the capital and the River Center. Then, at the stroke of 7PM, they grabbed 1 of 5 manifests, unlocked their bikes, and began their ride. Each manifest had 6 locations that needed to be scouted. The goal for the riders was to correctly identify the most locations as qucikly as possible.
The boundaries were I-110 to the east, the MISS. river to the west, Government to the south, and Capital Lake Dr to the north. We had 3 prize levels: 1st prize went to Jacques - $25 and a Mid City bikes gift certificate 2nd prize went to Keith - $20 and a Mid City bikes gift certificate D.F.L. prize went to Moshe - $5 (he got his registration back!!)
I will post the flyers from the Feb. b.r.ALLEY CAT soon. Also, keep your eyes open for flyers for the March edition of the b.r.ALLEY CAT race.
