Hey everyone. I messed up the date, next saturday is August 21st of course, not September. So yeah, we’re organizing an alleycat next saturday with Mike from Mash. None other than Stefan Vis is setting the course. We’re starting at the shop around three ‘o clock. Come and race, there will be cool prizes from Cinelli and Mash. Tell your friends!
Found at the Pristine blog.
Mark Saturday, August 7th in your agenda! That Friday, I’ll be turning 30, and just like last year, I’ll organize an alleycat. Details after the read more thingie.
We’ll meet at the Ghetto Keirin Track (that’s a 1 minute ride from Arnhem trainstation and it’s right next to the Arnhem’s biggest parking lot) around 1pm-ish. The race will start 2pm sharp.
Due to the concept of the race, it’s really important you’ll bring:
The weather forecast is supposed to be not so nice as I wished…
20 °C and chances of rain isn’t the ideal swimming weather. The race is still on though!
After the race we’ll chill in Sonsbeek park, which is home to the Sonsbeek Theater Avenue. This means food, drinks, theater and nice people in the whole park. So even if you’re not racing, chilling at the finish is fun too!
The nice guys from Fixed Gear Antwerp are organizing an alleycat, with a very nice flyer! This is what they say about it:
Time to unpack and mount that fiftytwo-toothed cog and speed your way to Antwerp. On the 28th of August we’re organizing the allready infamous Don’t Get Lost in the Back Streets alleycat/messenger race.
Are you still the Pizza Delivery Boy-master? Did you earn your shotgun(s) by irresponsibly taking over the wheel from a cab in GTA? Then you’re the right (wo)man for the job! In fact, we’ll spread a few packages over the city. Up to you to pick ‘em up and deliver them to their next destination. Pretty easy, right? It’s gonna be fast, it’s gonna be fearsome but it’s sure gonna be frekkin’ fun. But look out for alley cats and fixed vixens!
You wanna join in? Mail your name, postal code and social security number to fixedgearantwerp@gmail.com. Act fast cuz we’ve only got packages for twenty roadrunners. There’s absolutely no need to start studying the city-map, we’ll try and make sure you don’t get lost in the backstreets. Oh, don’t forget to bring your backpack/messenger bag and one shiny 2 eurodollar-coin so we can stuff you with food from our bbq!
Even if you don’t feel like racing, just come and join us for fun and drinks at Bar Nadar. And flick your self-hunted marinated chicken-filet on the grill!
I won’t be there, but the least I can do is promote that shit!
So you wanna look like a real messenger? Come to Arnhem join us for the Arnhem Uphill Alleycat Classic (14:00) on the 29th of may! And/because our good friend and longtime messenger Le Haute is also organizing a auction (20:00). And I know the guy a bit and I can say he is selling some really good shit. Like this fuccing Zo bag…….
And of course it’s all for a good cause, Tour for Live.
This Saturday all you pirates can race in Rotterdam! Visit the Rotterdam Fixed Gear site for more info!
So they are gonna start within the next hour. And I wanted to show those who never heard about the 24 hour race the route all competitors have to do.
Did I already mention they are insane in the head
And again check the live results here!
So tomorrow is the start of the biggest, hardest, longest and most fucced up couriers race in the world! And for the sixth time already. Most times I was standing at the checkpoint handing out beers that almost none took so I had to drink them. Last year I tried it myself together with Vincent and made it to Arnhem (300 km). Now I can say for sure that everyone who is trying to finish is fucced up insane in de head!
One of the best things every year was that you could follow the race online. Every checkpoint would put the time of every racer online so you could see who was leading and who quid. And also for mom, dad and grandmother who could see how their relative is doing.
But yesterday I heard that the DMA couldn’t do this anymore. Why don’t ask me. So the organizers came to ask FUCCIT to help them to arrange a webpage where everyone can check the standings of the 24 hour race. So it cost me some programming but I’m proud that they asked me. And here is the webpage where you can check the results in realtime!
Check here the topic about the 24 hour race (Dutch).
Let the race begin!
