So, Mark L. is a slacker and hasn't updated this regarding tonight's alley cat.
There is one!

There is a facebook page about it. You can find info there.

It starts somewhere that i don't know where it is... So, check the facebook event....

:-)

Or call Mark L. Or Rosanne. Or Weeber. Or Travis. They should all be able to help you.

Graden Snake RECAP

Big time props to Dustin for creating a really exciting, intense, and surprisingly dangerous route that wound its way through the Garden District of Baton Rouge. You can view the route here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3269235

It had rained about an hour before the race began, so the roads were wet, muddy, and had puddles all over the place. We had 27 racers register, I think... A few out of towners included. There were several wipe-outs on the wet roads, as well as one relatively major incident where one of our riders t-boned a car... Everyone is okay and only the bike that t-boned is damaged.

Just goes to show you that you never know what you are gonna get with a b.r.alley cat.

Results:
DFL's went to Lauren (she wrecked hard on the first lap) and Angie (last person to finish all four laps--- WAY TO GEAUX ANGIE!!!!)

3rd place went to: Clay!
2nd place went to: Brennan! (sp?)
1st place went to: Jason!

Again, great job Dustin, thanks to everyone for coming out. Keep on showing up with your lights and helmets and riding safely.

NEXT MONTH will be announced soon. We have our races planned thru April 2010, so don't get tired of 'em!!!!!! ;-)

GARDEN SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Normal drill... $5, 6:30, bring your lights and helmet.
