Steel city alleycat 5

We're back in the streets of Hamilton for the 5th edition of the STEEL CITY ALLEYCAT.

Same as the last race:

• Start Line at Durand Park
• Paper manifest
• 4 new checkpoints
• Unknown finish line when you start the race
• No set route

You don't have to sign up.

Just show up to Durand Park for NOON on Sunday September 7th ready to ride.

1. Put your bike on one side of the park
2. A paper manifest gets attached to your bike
3. Line up on the other side of the park
4. When I say go, run to your bike, open the manifest, and ride like hell

Find out what's inside on race day

• The manifest will have a list of 4 checkpoints. For example: BANDSHELL
• Go to that checkpoint location
• Find the race marker with the code at the checkpoint
• Write the code in the manifest
• There will be a puzzle to find the finish line location
• There may be some other fuckery in the manifest to keep it interesting
• First rider or team to arrive at the finish line with a completed manifest wins
• When you get to the finish line find me and I'll record your rider name, number, and finish time
• Stick around for spoke cards, t-shirts, and vibes

Race bounds are west of Ottawa St, east of Durand St, and down The Mountain.

Spoke cards for 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place. Dead Fucking Last gets something special as well.

T-shirts and stickers for the Raddest Riders. In the past, people have gotten t-shirts for:

• Shittiest bike
• Biggest breakfast
• Doing the race on thier wedding aniversary
• Most hungover
• Best socks
• Biggest group
• Sickest handlebars
• Furthest travelled
• Best rider/team name
• And whatever else I feel like that day

1. Ride safe
2. Have fun
3. Friendly competition only. The prize is a fucking piece of paper, so relax
4. Ride anything you want
5. No sharing clues/checkpoints. You can ride as a team, but you can't split up. I'll know
6. Ride safe

• What if I showed up late to the start line?

  Too bad, I'm not sticking around.

• Do I have to do the checkpoints in order?

  No.

• What do I need to bring?

  • A pen or pencil (I may have some golf pencils, but don't count on it)
  • Something fast to ride
  • Good mood
  • Bad attitude
• I can't make the race, but I still want a t shirt, can I buy one from you?

  No.

• What if I can't find the marker at the checkpoint?

  Look harder.

  If you think it’s actually missing or covered, DM me on instagram or email me at info@steelcityalleycat.com.

• I don't live in Hamilton, am I going to be able to figure this out?

  Yea for sure, the checkpoints aren't that hard to figure out, you can just Google them. Or make a friend at the start line.

• Can I give you money? (somebody has asked me this before).

  No. Give it to your local food bank.

• Who’s behind all this?

  My name is AL. You can contact me at AL@steelcityalleycat.com or on instagram.
