i was about to start an elvis race thread. that may be coming still.
it's an alleycat. it's going to be dark out. the course is about 20 mi long.

if you haven't ridden an alleycat before, i'd suggest coming out and volunteering for a checkpoint and then coming to the finish party. you'll meet people (all the racers will need your signature) and then drink with them later and get a sense of what these races are all about.

but you can do whatever you'd like, of course...
