    This Alleycat race will coincide with the annual INTERBIKE Northeast convention here in Providence, RI over the weekend of October 8th, 9th, 10th.

    We will also be hosting Professional roller races on Oct. 8th at Rodger Williams Park, and a second set of amateur roller races on Oct 10th. More info to come on those!

    After the Alleycat we will be having a bike up select movie screening of the new cycling movie VEER.

    Can we make this STICKY by chance, until the 9th?

    Thanks kindly!

    Oh, man. I might even be in Quahogland myself then.

    Crap. I'm going to be camping. Which will be awesome, but with fewer bikes. Someone tape a camera to their bike. I want to see videos!

    Dumb question.. I'm no where near providence, but am curious... is actually building a bike involved in this race at some point? If so, that's awesome.

    Particularly if all the parts come in a big surrounding metal frame, and you have to pop the pieces out, like I did with all those WWI airplane models when I was a kid.

    Yes.

    ?

    Yes, that is awesome;

    Yes, the parts have to be popped out of a frame, or

    Yes, an on-site bike build is part of the race?

    If it's the last, that's going to slow it down as a spectator event. A special prize should be awarded to the rider who finishes the race with the largest percentage of the components he started with; there's going to be lots of shed bike bric-a-brac lining the course.

    The first one. I thought that would have been obvious.

    Those were my thoughts exactly, unless there was some sort of safety inspection check point involved. Seems like there would be a lot of potential for disaster though

    The theme of this Alleycat race will be Build-A-Bike. Riders will have several checkpoints all around the Providence area, in which they will collect one part of a bike from each checkpoint. The first one to build a complete bike wins. NOTE- Of course you will not be collecting actual bike parts, but rather awesome little cloth patches with each part silkscreen printed on them. No messenger bag required for this race.
