BEIJING'S FIRST FIXED GEAR ALLEYCAT
北京第一个死飞ALLEYCAT

That's right, it's happening! And it's happening soon.

A weekend of parties, bike polo, skid competitions and a grand 'Tour de Pekin' is all set to kick off this June.

Thanks to support from Adidas, some amazing prizes are up for grabs.

ALLEYCAT DETAILS:
Go here: http://tiny.cc/4SwEf for a map of the checkpoints.

Locations are to be confirmed but more or less decided. Any changes will be published with plenty of notice. The race so far includes 12 checkpoints and will start from the gates of the Forbidden City (what a setting!).

First to collect stamps from all checkpoints and reach the finishing station (near the Drum Tower) wins.

Fixie friends from Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Taiwan etc may want to study this map before coming to familiarise yourself with possible routes.

ALL FIXED GEAR RIDERS IN CHINA ARE WELCOME!

Those without places to stay will be able to 'couch surf' with riders in Beijing.

Do you have to ride a fixed gear to enter? I know some guys in Tianjin that would love to come but they don't have fixed gear bikes.

That is also to be announced but it should be free (or at least very, very low)

Is there an entrance fee for the Alleycat?

For checkpoints just 随便 pick which order you want to go on. The aim is to collect stamps/proof from all checkpoints. When reaching the finishing checkpoint in Gulou, your time will only be counted if you have 所有的 stamps.

The image is for the event and will be the spokecard for the race. There's more advertising materials to come this week including online flyers etc etc to help spread the word.

Should be a lot of fun! Can the checkpoints be reached in any order? prizes for D.F.L (dead fu**ing last)? I am looking forward to all the other events too.

By the way, great job with the logo, is it just for the competition or is this the new face of Beijing's fixie crew?
