Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

okay, it will happen. Let's make this a more productive thread and *vote for dates* to do it on. and if anyone has a "marvel"-ous connection for any sponsors PM me.

We could do it more as an NYC superhero Capure the flag even rather then a alleycat.

3 different teams. 4 group members.
Group one gets Union square, group 2 gets Washington Sq. park and group 3 gets Tompkins sq. park??

Um, in a word, NO. This is an alleycat. If you wanna do a capture the flag event, that's cool. we could make a sat-sun weekend out of it. But that's not what the SUPERHEROES ALLEYCAT is all about. CP's and course have already been determined.

Performance fabrics are nice... but you'll want more options:

FYI- my birthday is this wednesday, hurry up and get the women's small for some pre-race extra credit:
