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!!!!!! ;-)

Drag Race Summary

The August b.r.alley cat (Drag Race) went very well and was enjoyed by all!!! As you read the route, keep in mind we were exploring the many facets of the word "drag"

The Route:
Begin at Parkview Park (Airline near Goodwood)

at 6:30 when registration began, clothes were available for everyone to dress in drag.

drag race the length of Florida Blvd from Airline all the way to the levee. (7 mi)

At the levee, drag down an entire cigarette (or for those who don't smoke, drag your bike up and down the steps at the levee for 2 minutes)

ride to Dalrymple near Washington. Here, the racers were to drag pallets that had concrete on them 20 or 30 feet. Each pallet weighed 70 or 80 lbs easy...

then, race to Chelsea's where you had to think of something that was a total drag.

the overall route was about 10 miles, along with some pretty intense physical action.

The Results:

Dave ------- DFL!!!!!!!!!
?????? -------- 3rd (was it Keith or Jason? I forgot....)
Clay --------- 2nd
Weeber -------- 1st

Thanks to all 14 racers for coming out. Keep spreading the word to your friends. September 11th is the next race, and will be called the Physical Challenge. Dave and Travis are organizing it. 6:30 registration, 7PM race, clock tower.

b.r.alley cat this Friday!

August 14, 2009 is the 'Drag' Race. We will be exploring the many facets of the word 'drag' so be prepared for 'drag' in all its glory.

6:30 PM registration at Parkview Park (on Airline across from Woman's Hospital between Goodwood and Airline)
7:00 PM race begins

FINISH LINE is at Chelsea's, so only park at the Park if you plan to get back there after Chelsea's.

Helmets are highly recommended as the race does take place on some busier streets. Lights are also highly recommended.

As always, $5, split pot to winners.
