b.r.alley cat schedule
Here is the list of b.r.alley cat organizers as I have them in my head at this moment.
If you had a month in your mind, please don't be pissed at me. I am only human and probably just forgot. Don't take it personally.
Jan 2010 - Travis Mid City
Feb 2010 - Andy (1 year anniversary of the b.r.alley cat)
March 2010 - Brennan
April 2010 - Mike/Aaron
May 2010 - 2nd Annual TOUR DA ROUGE
June 2010 - Rosanne
That's what I have so far. If anyone wants to organize one later next year, let me know.

Choctaw Cat RECAP
Several factors combined to make December the most challenging b.r.alley cat yet...
The setting: under a tree near the canons at Arsenal Park, downtown Baton Rouge
The weather: 42 degrees, steady but not super heavy rain, strong east wind...
The players: Dustin, Angel, William, Jeff, Clayton, Colin, Weeber, Travis
The route: Choctaw, from the river to Florida Blvd and back
The checkpoints: Mark@Winn Dixie (Lobdell/Choctaw/Greenwell Springs)
Aaron@Tire Shop (Choctaw & Sherwood Forest)
Mike & Angie@Choctaw and Florida
and then the same, in reverse...
The results:
Hypothermia Travis bailed after about 4 miles with purple knuckles
Flat Tire Colin and I Like To Fall Dustin bailed after going the wrong way down Lobdell
Magellan Angel led them the wrong way down Lobdell, got back to Choctaw, and kept riding, until she got to Aaron for the first time and was encouraged to stop due to time constraints.
Clayton the Wrecker fell about 5 times on train tracks and quit when he got to Aaron the first time.
That makes the rankings, in order:
DFL - Magellan Angel for being the last to quit
3rd - Granny Gear William
2nd - I quit, No I Don't. I quit, No I Don't Jeff
1st - I Ride Faster Cuz My Feet Make Smaller Circles Weeber
THANK YOU so much to Mark, Aaron, Mike, and Angie for helping me out with the logistics. With the crappy weather conditions, we needed all the support that we had.
Also, big time thanks to the 8 riders who came out for this one. The weather was shitty, and you 8 kept the monthly b.r.alley cat a tradition in the making.
Next month brought to you by Travis Mid City.....so be ready...

December Alley Cat
Howdy b.r.alley cat folks!
It seems as though this 2nd Friday may work better, so every b.r.alley cat will be 2nd Friday from now on.
That being said, Friday December 11th will the next installment. Meeting place and theme are still TBD, but will be announced shortly. Keep your eyes here for more info!

Make Like a Tree
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.
