Alley Cats are Bike Messenger races where you show up at a location, you are given a list of addresses, the first person to reach all the destinations in any order wins. Sprints are drag racing.
-Where - The 3rd level of LDS Institute parking garage (1780 E. South Campus Drive)
-What - Short races in multiple categories (mountain, road, fixed, etc.) around designated course in a parking lot.
-Why - In other countries (and states) where cycling is more popular indoor cycling race tracks called 'velodromes' host (you'll never guess) short races. Think sprinting, but on bicycles. Unfortunately even though cycling IS popular in Utah (and especially on campus), we don't any velodromes. But since we were able to have a bicycle shop without a building, why not have a velodrome style race in a parking lot? This race is for everyone, so come hang out with us and have a good time.
