Thanks for the pics.

This is the first year I haven't been able to help organize it. Looks like it turned out awesome with 160 riders, double what we had last year. As far as I know that makes it the largest alleycat in ATL history. Next year we'll have 320.

Anyone who stays at Jay's place has a good time. I spent many nights there with Karl and Emma as a result of the kegerator.

That beard looks just like mine but mine is mostly brown with a few hints of red.

I'm totally gonna make my beard, bike and jacket match from now on.

You won a pair of jeans? Thats pretty random. What place did you come in and how long was the race? Looks like a good time to me.

my team came in tenth over all out of like 80 teams, and we got first out of town team. my partner got a soma coffee cup, i got some srwve cycling jeans http://www.swrvestore.com/servlet/Detail?no=63 i really really like them, they fit to.
some chick got hit by a car and showed up to the after party in a leg brace

Ok, that makes more sense than what I was imagining.

Man, it was a fun time last night. My partner blows though. Court, I should have a never bailed on you as a partner. If I would've stayed with you as my partner, I would've finished the race. Instead, my partner blows down some random side street and I lost him. I finished the race but it was by myself. I did puke on a Lexus on the last stretch there on Moreland Ave :)

james, you are my hero for puking and riding through it

It's Me!!

Really, I can't let this story go untold. Its now my personal favorite. Actually, I'm gonna dedicate my own post to this story. Please direct yourselves back to the main SS/FG page to find my post.

i also want to hear from the girl who got hit by the car, and the two guys who jumped the train.

Sounds like everyone had fun. Wish i could have made it. Im still knee deep in dogs down here.
How long was the race?

I hope everyone is ok.

I didn't hear about the trainhoping. Was it MARTA or one of the freight trains?

Last year there were a few kids (notably, those who now run No Brakes) who rode on the freeway for a stretch.

I'm waiting for my rundown email from Jes. She's promised to include photos.

Not a bad way to avoid lights and traffic in a race. Will remember. :)

strange...looks like a typical seattle beauty.

damn i wish i could have made this.

twelve hour work days blow.
and its even worse when you know you could be riding your bicycle.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

the girl in the purple tights in the one who got hit by the car. she showed up to the after party in a full leg brace

and they hopped over a freight train because they got stuck behind it

No, thats the wrong girl. The girl with the purple tights is Bobby's girl. She was fine. I don't think she raced. Her boyfriend did. His team did the Heath Ledger tribute and called their team "Broke Bike Mountain." They wore flannel and cycling shorts.

some chick rolled up to the after party in a leg brace who had been tagged by a car

thanks to everyone who came! asses were worked off in the planning of broken hearts, and it was well worth it! stay tuned for a stats, reviews, and pics round up. in fact, we've got a few galleries (http://www.sopobikes.org/about/gallery) going. BH4 is definitely my fave so far. can't wait for number 5.

yay more pics

yay more pics

Theres a sweet photo of you at the mass start riding your tiny wheeled bike:

looking at some of these pictures makes me want reflective sidewalls on a silly beater bike. i might have to do that someday.

they arent compensating for anything

They make your messenger bag look bigger...

Damn I missed it.

and to think i wore my small bag

more pics are up on flickr. search tags only "broken hearts 4."

i'm pretty sure you're right about it being the biggest alley cat in atlanta ever. the partners thing made a difference in the numbers, i think. plus, people seemed to be more interested in it being a party than an athletic competition. or they were really hungover from the night before and didn't want to ride that hard. heh.

We seem to get a lot of that in Atlanta.

I heard that the AVX guys took all the bags again. We need to stop giving bags away to people who don't wear them. Maybe there should be a special AVX only prize of pink shoe covers or something.

I think the partner idea is solid. And it works with the valentines day theme. Next year we double numbers again.

I kinda think I just threw up in my mouth a little

I told you if I ever see a pic of you without the beard online I'm not coming home. I guess I'll go return my ticket...

I'll come home if you promise to have something respectable grown by the time I get there.

bump, does anyone have pics from this year

Pics dont work for me?
