    ::REQUESTE DETAILS!::
    Are all bikes welcome, or is this a track bike only event? - ALL BIKES ARE WELCOME!! RIDE WHAT YA GOT!! Seriously y'all, this is intended to be fun, so come out and have fun.
    Why a lock? - This one is easy. For one, you'll need to lock your bike at the afterparty. However, the race MAY OR MAY NOT include some checkpoint(s) which you would need to lock your bike at (unless you're willing to risk it).
    How far is the race? - The race will be between 12-20 miles, but will likely range around 15. The final distance won't be set until the day of the race. Assuming nice weather, lean towards the further. If it gets a bit icky out, lean towards the shorter. We want it to be fun, not torture.
    Will we be able to find all of the checkpoints even if we aren't super familiar with Boston? - Yes. Checkpoints are going to be pretty well known locations, however there are a couple which will test your knowledge of the city. If you think you might get lost, consider bringing a map, or try to follow a friend. Again, this is supposed to be fun. If you don't know where the next checkpoint is during the race, ask the worker at the current checkpoint. They will know exactly where they are before the race begins.
    Are we racing even if it rains? - Unless you're made of sugar like the wicked witch or the aliens from "Signs", YES. We race rain or shine, so be prepared. either way it'll be a heck of a fun time.
    Which Cambridge Common do you mean? - The park, not the bar, located at Garden Street & Mason St, Cambridge, MA 02138brian QG: 4) Columbus tubing is Italian, rather than from Ohio like I originally thought. This sounds nice.

    Hmm. If all goes according to plan I should be getting back from my bike tour that day, maybe the day before.

    I'll be fucking tired. But, I've never raced an alleycat... I think it might be time to build up some mad street credz.

    What time-ish we thinking for the actual race?

    t-honks, you're gonna have to get through me and Sean first. Afterall, he might break something again and I might do the race on that trike.

    so...after getting my cast off my left wrist this morning (!) my first question (really) started with..."so how long before i can ride my bicycle..." to which he gave me this look like 'of course you'd ask that first'...

    his recommendation: one month. i'm going to go ahead and say that 3 weeks is long enough to wait before i race again.

    excited!
    good work organizing, eric & cait!

    is pi-attire required or optional?
