I just did a "pre-ride" today, going to court for my critical mass "failure to keep right" ticket. Because they carted in the cops from brooklyn, I had to go to traffic court there, which happens to be on W 8th st & Neptune Ave. I took the manhattan and shot down flatbush -->ocean avenue. I dont think I unclipped more than 2 or 3 times, and I wasn't racing. The best route would depend on where the race finishes. I'd imagine that it would be at the cyclone.
Anyway, I'm down for a racier preride. When do people want to do one?

apologies in advance for sounding like a *****y old ****, but...
does anyone remember when no one would have even thought about pre-riding an alleycat course? when checkpoints weren't given out beforehand? when alleycats were fun because you didn't know what to expect, how long you were going to have to ride, and what was in store for you? when people start doing crap like this, it's not even really an alleycat anymore. the term has been hopelessly diluted. no pre-rides. just show up at the start and race your ass off.
there i said it.
