Alley Cat Race

I just realized i haven't blogged since school started, partially cause all I've been doing is school... but this weekend i finally did something to blog about.



So meet Dara, my beautiful friend. Through her, i have met some other friends, namely Seth & Ray, who put on this Alley Cat race Saturday night. Wikipedia it if your clueless like i was prior to the race.



So Steve & Dara & I met up at Katherine Albertson Park to register our bikes and obtain a sheet telling us our locations to ride. The locations were all over town... the train depo out to lucky 13 to downtown and around campus. The trick to doing well was organizing your stops so that you didnt have to back track to a location. Its a lot like an adult scavanger hunt. It ended up being a long treck around Boise, overall i think the milage ended up being about 20 miles.



Steve, Eric, Dara, and I stuck together and through the near crashes, flat tires, free throw misses, and near collisions with cars, somehow we survived and finished in at least the top half.
Granted there were some 80 people that road and some serious ones at that. I'm no pro, but had a blast! When else is it okay to wrecklessly tear around Boise on your bike. And they say this stuff should be "illegal". Ha!
