Freeze/Thaw Cycle Alley Cat Race

Yesterday marked the first (that I know of) Alley Cat race in Greeley. Don't know what an Alley Cat is? Check the wiki link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alleycat_races
The race was unsanctioned and just a fun rush through town. Beginning at third street and eighth avenue, racers lined up at three in the afternoon, and after finding out their checkpoints and destination, were off. Racers took a plethora of courses through town, all hitting the checkpoint at 16th street and 35th avenue, then ending at 16th street and ninth avenue. Not only did everyone make it safely through the race, but also everyone had ear to ear smiles. Racers grouped at the Cheba Hut afterward and had food an pints. The race was a huge success, hopefully there will be more in the future. Some photos and video to come!
