So my second alleycat ever was the other day. Out of 12 checkpoints, we shot for 6 in the time-limit. 2 of these 6 were non-existent addresses. That's right. The places were not on this earth. One building had been demolished, another was simply a number that didn't exist (Pennsylvania St. doesn't go up to 5519). So, basically, we would've been very competitive, and high-scoring, but instead we placed near last and didn't win anything. Although in the raffle afterwards, I won some cycling socks, which work great w/ my new cycling shoes : ) And Kyle and I took 2nd and 3rd in the skid contest, respectively. Worth the experience, but the alleycat itself sucked.
Pictures of the pre-race time-killing are here.

Ah, sunny summer
Camping this weekend. Great weather, fun new toys to play with, did some fun road rides around the park's hills and valleys too. Also picked up Bill's old clipless pedals and shoes for a great price. It makes me feel like a bionic man; I am so connected to the bike. I will be a significantly stronger rider in them, I believe. I anticipate huge thighs. Bwaha!
