Critical THRASH!

March 7, 2009

AAAAARGH! IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN!

Critical Thrash - Birmingham alleycat race Friday 20th March

You will need £2, a digital camera or a camera phone, and an A-Z for this one. You may enter on any type of pedal-powered, non-motor-assisted bicycle. There will be approximately ten checkpoints in Birmingham city centre. It is possible that there will be a map with all the checkpoints marked on it.

The prize will depend on the number of people who show up;

  • fewer than 10 riders: winner takes all
  • ten or more riders: a 50/30/20 split between first, second and third place.

We will meet on the paved area underneath the bridge outside the Mailbox at 6pm, and after a short warmup ride we will migrate to the start point. At the start point, riders must line their bikes up against a wall. They must then stand behind a line next to the opposing wall while a checkpoint sheet is attatched to each bike. A bell will be rung, at which point the race will start.

The winner is the first person to return to the finish point with a fully completed checkpoint sheet. Any rider who returns without completing their checkpoint sheet will be disqualified. Any rider who does not wish to return to the finish point must notify the race organiser.
