Its August, its hot, the sun is intense…lets have an alleycat! Awesome idea!
Many thanks to Paradise Tattoo, Help Yourself, Fixed Gears, Bad Boy Burritos and Conch Traders for helping out with prizes and checkpoints. Also special thanks to Don’s Place, the last checkpoint/afterparty for the hook-ups!
The race began at the White Street Pier.
“Get ink at Paradise Tattoo 627 Duval” and Bucco was the guest artist!
“drink the fresh, organic goodness they give you at 829 Fleming Street” which, of course is Help Yourself. Tampa Joe chugging a shot of almost frozen organic juice as Charlie and Robbie watch.
“have fun under the Palm Avenue Bridge” Nobody knew which side of the bridge Ray was waiting at with his sharpee.
Goodfellow stopped in the middle of the bridge, over the water, to check to see where the checkpoint was and then carried his freakin’ bike down the side rather than ride all the way around and saved some precious time.
Brielle was not only first, not only on a mountain bike, not only riding on knobbies, but was almost 5 minutes ahead of 2ed place! She won new cruiser tires and a floor pump.
Everyone post race showing off their tatoos from the checkpoint at Paradise Tattoo. Thanks again to don’s place for hooking us up and showing love.
more photos and shenanigans after the jump…click below!
The winners of the only two alleycats ever in Key west hula hooping…well, more like trying to hula hoop!

“don’t puke at 3rd and Fogarty (go to yard on northwest corner)” MaryMosBeff was waiting for people with two hands face down…pick one. “V” got you a shot of rice wine vinegar. “W” got you a shot of Worcester Sauce. yummy!
amy and marymosbeff chillin’ at the Truman waterfront at the after after party. we had timed slalom races through all the posts in the background but I forget who won. good times.
Heather on the Penny Farthing. This thing rolls over curbs, logs and little children like nuttin’!
