Our next race, which is a mash up of last year’s Tour de Birmingham and the 3rd Annual Garden Party is coming up July 16 & 17! It is modeled after the Tour de France, so we’re having a sprint and hill climb section, as well as a overall winner. More info will be posted as we get all the details worked out. We have a facebook event set up so go on over and RSVP!

The party on Sunday the 17th will include snacks from some local restaurants, a keg, and live music. Get ready!!

Thanks to our sponsors, Scout Branding, and our awesome poster designer Dan Gavin!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our 1st Annual Bici Garden Party Race and Party at Jones Valley Urban Farm. It was a wonderful success! We had a surprising and encouraging turnout.

Thanks to our sponsors: Rojo, Primavera Coffee, Action Wipes, Jones Valley, Some New Trend and Banjo Brothers.

Special thanks also to all the folks who volunteered. This event could not have happened without you out there at the stops, marking manifests and cheering on the racers.



We had folks from all over the city and some fellas from Atlanta come out to ride and race. A large group did a fun ride around the city and threw seed bombs in an attempt to spread some Bike Love to areas that need some beauty and life. Mt.St.Mtn played and really rocked our faces off. Jones Valley had the bike blender out and some fantastic Bellinis were pedaled to creation. The Keg was tapped, the food was eaten and all was well.

Results:

1st place-Stewart Haddock of Atlanta
2nd Place- Jason Barker of Birmingham
3rd Place-Chris Schwartz of Atlanta

The race was incredible. The racers had to get to the 9th floor of a parking deck, navigate a gay pride parade (unplanned!) and find an obscure building downtown. There were 3 flats but no injuries. A good night indeed.

Stay tuned for the next Alleycat. Bike Skirt may be sponsoring…so you never know what will happen!
