The Foot Down OwlyCat 2010 will take place on October 16th in Swansea. You will race 25 miles hitting 5 checkpoints along a set route, because of this local riders will have far less advantage than normal, the secret knowledge of backroads will be of no advantage here, the strongest rider will win.
Get all the deets over at The Foot Down, and a route map here.
The last alleycat of the year, Saturday 28 August 2010. For more info head over to Track Dropouts or sign-up to race here or on Facebook.

Maindy Outdoor Velodrome, Cardiff CF14 3AJ
Helmet required. £5 to enter.
So it is time for the 2nd Bridge The Gap event.
FIXED GEAR ONLY
This time we have gone for more of a straight race rather than alleycat. The start will be in Bristol, Water Front, Canons Road. The Check point will be in Bath, Queens Square and the finish line will be back in bristol where you started.
You can choose which route you take as long as you are riding your bike. The Race will be starting at 4 but make sure you are at the start for around 3 so i can get you all numbered up. Fancy dress is optional, but i think it would be pretty funny if everyone dressed up.
See you there and keep checking for updates here and www.trackdropouts.com
