Hartford Alleycat?

It's been a while since we've had one of these. I believe this is still planned for Sunday. Who's riding?

Not sure what happened there. Much props to Orion & Matt for putting another aspect of bike scene back on the mean streets of Hartford.

By the way, what's up with all the trash in Keney Park? I showed up early to chill at the park, but it was like visiting the dump.

I did catch a bit of a cricket game before the bike drag race. I think the Hartford team was getting beat by a team from Toronto, but I can't say for sure as I don't know how scoring even happens.; May 22, 2011 at 9:20 PM

Keney is such a great park, and it really sucks that people take advantage of its quiet and secluded spots for illegal dumping. That makes me angry.; May 22, 2011 at 11:02 PM

Damian said...: @Brendan: Orion posted the results on his blog. I can tell you that the top three finishers formed a team-like peloton just after Main & Albany, and both Ryan and Dave deserved first, especially Dave who casually rocked jeans and a single speed.

And one guy was eaten by a CHUD.; May 24, 2011 at 3:30 PM
Brendan said...: Yeah, but it looks like you rocked first place on a mountain bike. Congratulations!; May 25, 2011 at 9:46 AM
