Boston's Really Stupid Alley Cat - March 24th



since there isn't anything planne for the rest of the month, and there is hardly any time to promote it, i'm throwing together a small race just for poops and chuckles.

it will be a good time and fairly difficult.


this race will be hitting up almost every college in the boston area.

There had better be an engineering CP, you know, where the rider has 30 sec. to do calculus or some stuff, like, write memos, pretend to work, I dunno. (But it can't involve spelling or talking to girls.)

Nah. It'll be the week after I move and I'm not sure if I'd feel like coming back down yet. If I do come I'll work a checkpoint (I haven't done that for a while) I feel like I need to do my time. I'll let you know. Unless you REALLY want me to race.

Looks like I'll be changing my hours at work to make this one too. If my EMT class fell on that day it would be so much easier, but it doesn't.
