alley cat/ginnel whippet



































































































A huge thanks to everyone who made the effort to get to leeds first alleycat yesterday. any leeds rider that didn't come down missed out on an amazing day. Big shouts to manchester, edinburgh and london riders who made the long haul plus guys from all over yorkshire. 

it didn't rain or snow which was a miracle and everything went swimmingly except for Adys crash about 10 metres from the finish line! the money we made will be used to pay for a new front wheel for him!

Places as follows:

1. Warren Anderton (Leeds)
2. Marek Szczeplek (Leeds)
3. James Wise (Manchester)

Footdown - Dr. Kevin Colgan

Trackstand - Donnacha Carroll

Massive thanks for support from: Craig Nasty (Cantgoslo), Liam Walsh (TLW), Neil Brand, Planet X, Stif, Velosolo, lotek, woodrups, charlie the bikemonger, dalikfodda, er...ostre-kolo and red bull for that fake-awake feeling - not forgetting hukaz for putting up with sweaty pissed cyclists all night.

A personal thanks to Max for stopping my head from exploding, but next time can you remind me to eat something other than breakfast!

Flickr link to come.

Roll on number 2!

Cheers for the effort to put it all together chaps. Seemed that a good time was had by all, although I shall make a mental note to avoid hitting bollards for the next one.
Bloody sneak buggers them Leeds bollards you got, especially when they sneak into you bullhorns (got me a comedy huge thumb at the mo.)
Smiles all around!!!!!!!
