“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are ..†– Ernest Hemingway– Saw this on Cycleangelo blog today and reminded me of the great experience of travel and biking.
DC Alleycat races are always a blast. The courier community always knows how to put on a good show and for out-of-towners it’s always a great way to see the city.
Here is an upcoming night race to benefit RVA’s NACCC.

Washington DC’s late night alleycat is back!Registration will be at the Looking Glass Lounge starting @ 8 PM. Enjoy awesome food, a $5 Jim Beam + Natty Boh special and stay warm before the race!
The main event starts @ 10 PM and will take you on a cold, long, tough course thru our nations capitol. First place will get a custom Seagull bag, and there will will be prizes for First Fixed and First Out of Town as well.
A killer after party will follow with a huge raffle to benefit our friends putting on the NACCCs in Richmond. More details on that later.
