so here's the SUPERSTORY: I have a comic book shop and a bikeshop sponsor, plus bagjack in berlin who will sponsor a NYC superheroes alleycat. The idea and course is pretty much solid: It's solo and teams of two (ambiguously gay duos) who have to hit checkpoints that require particular super powers.. or in somecase require superpowers just to get to the CP.
It's a long, brutal race with CP's that correspond to the real NYC superhero points of interest.
The advantage to racing as a crimefighting team is that only one person has to "Do" the CP. But both have to be present, together. Between the last CP and the Finish is a dead sprint. Only then will you know who is the "superhero" and who is the "sidekick."
If i do it, I'll need to drop a good amount of dough on the CP's & some "special" prizes.
Who is going to show up?
How many of you think you're a superhero?
And more importantly, when do I do this thing?
To me, it's the ultimate alleycat that I would prefer to race and not organize. But it must happen.

ooh damn. if you did this, i may have to deeply consider a road trip to nyc. my batman obsession and bike love are far too overwhelming of a combination to let me just forget it. if you did it in the summer - end of may --> end of august i could do it. otherwise the mean streets of nyc will have to do with out the rvabatman lol. either way - i'm already excited for the pictures from it.

I kinda resemble the Blob from the Brotherhood of Mutants. He's not a superhero though. Can supervillains participate too?

My Batman obsession can kick your Batman obsession's ass. We should totally team up & be team Batman. You get to decide if you want to be Robin or Batgirl.

I'm a huge Smallville fan (I know I know, not exactly cool but still relates to the whole superman saga)...and I've never been in an alleycat either, could I still get down?

Then I want to be one of the fantastic four.
I don't want to look like Captain America because I would look more like a PR flag going down the street. Im my hood, id get shot
See for yourself.
