Alleykitten

Dan C threw the 3rd[?] annual Alleykitten race today. The last race of 2007, it was short and sweet. Meant to get as many people out to have fun and not a typical cut-throat NYC alleycat. Here's my route, with a few wrong turns edited out. 6 checkpoints and it was about 11 miles or so. Not long, but when you're hauling ass, you feel it. Andres, Jameson and I stuck together for the most part, a few of the new kids [like 16 years old] killed shit. I've never seen so many ballsy [and stupid] moves from someone in their first race. I had a few close calls, including cutting in front of a cop while crossing Park Ave at 59th st. Jameson finished 8th, Andres 9th and I got 10th out of about 30 racers or so. Maybe a bit more. Will over at Razorapple has a nice little writeup on the race as well as some pics [some attached below]. Luke Stiles also took some shots, via his Flickr. Big ups to Dan for throwing this race and I'm glad no one was seriously hurt. See ya in 2000 hate.
