i was thinking about that. a valentine's (or anti-valentine's) race seemed like fun, but i'm having a hard time thinking of checkpoints (oooh, valentine's on SW 3rd and ankeny? little coffee shop type place) and don't know what to do about sponsors this close to the date (just some little stuff from city bikes?). but with shift to bikes and all, publicizing it would also be easy.

i dunno, any alleycat anytime with any theme would be cool.

i dunno about the boombox...sounds like a rad idea. or we can have a singalong. sing queen's "bicycle race" on the way to the alberta street pub or the yamhill or something.
