bring on the cat threadz...

[ryand]

enough cute kittens. come to the race.

the kitten is for out of towners and first timers. short and sweet. should be fun.
the cat is more difficult, longer, and still fun.

[shark!]

i'll be there...but just to make fun of max and his hobo-esque attire and rolled up jeans....


and beard.

[maxknee]

thanks

[shishi]

I'm comin

[HelluvaStella]

What have you got for your volunteer b*tches? Max, sign me up for duty. If I'm working a stop and have to carry anything, I'm riding the Schwinn. It's all about the baskets. Yeah.

[ryand]

shishi- bring a slew of new yorkers down with you.

babychris is signed up for checkpoint duty as well.

anybody that wants to work CPs, PM maxknee.

[maxknee]

yeah, we need a few more people for volunteer duty

[dirtyphotons]

is jen doing a cp?

my girlfriend might be convinced to help, but i don't think she wants to do a cp by herself.

[chip thunder]

Up the misspellings! I am so convinced that you should do the cp that I brought up at the bar. I'll even man it for you.

is this race benefiting PBMA or BMEF!?

[shark!]

spelling mistakes: messenger AND kittin!!

[ryand]

dailey decided it would probably be best to use the money for pbmef. it is something pbma is starting.

either way, good cause, and misspelled words ftw.

[dailey_philly]

the philadelphia bicycle messenger association is starting up our own local bicycle messsenger emergency fund. It is going to be called the pbmef. All races will be benefiting the fund. We decided for right now all the proceeds will be split up between the pbmef (60%) and the pbma (40%). the split is kinda of like most of couriers get comission at our jobs. courier (60) company (40). So yeah this race, Hour of Power this saturday, and future alleycats and parties will be like this. Look out for our second Poker Race sometime in March. details to follow...

maxknee and i have a house in south philly. baby chris has an apt semi-near us as well. i'm sure between the bf members in philly, we can get housing set up for you guys. let us know how many are coming down in advance.

[dailey_philly]

also that weekend the Philly Cut Throats are throwing their event similar to bike kill in nyc. more info to follow in a few days...

[ryand]

[maxknee]

[HelluvaStella]

[maxknee]

i like my beard

[ryand]

[HelluvaStella]

I thought I was volunteering? I'm not going to work a checkpoint where all the racers kick me in the ass! As for the beard... how about a checkpoint where everyone has to grab a pair of tweezers and pluck one of Max's short + curlies?

[shishi]

Is the alley kitten/cat in relation to the other events of the weekend??? We got some NY'ers comin down for the 1 o'clock and another group for the 3 alleycat.

[maxknee]

saturday

[maxknee]

sponsor by monster energy drink

[ryand]

some prizes from reload will be given out.

[shark!]

so the winner gets a reload deluxe filled with as much monster energy drinks that can possibly fit?

count me in

[ryand]

it was never said what kind of reload prizes there would be, but this is not a major race, so i can tell you for sure that it will not be a deluxe.

[adampaiva]

hope its warmer than today. does this race involve drinking?

[shishi]

small nyc crew is coming
