Does anyone know of any alleycat races in the Boston area anytime in the near future? (hopefully before it snows!) or maybe in the spring? Do you have to be a messenger to race or participate in most alleycat races, or is anyone welcome? Really want to earn some spokecards the right way!

hahah I know that feeling all too well (although I don't rock spoke cards). You should have been here a couple of months ago. I was in a race then and it was awesome, I can't wait to do another. I haven't checked the IFBMA website in a while, you might want to check there https://www.messengers.org/. I'll be in Madrid come january so no spring races for me but I know there is one in the spring every year.

The Fallout series is still rolling strong. It happens in the Spring. I have not gone, but it seems like it's pretty much a fall and spring race around here.
