BOZEMAN ALLEYCAT BICYCLE RACING

This website is devoted to information and flyers regarding Bozeman, Montana and the surrounding Gallatin Valley alleycat bicycle races. For more Bozeman bicycle shenanigans please visit the regularly updated Bozeman Fix blog.


FIXIE SIXTY 2010

The Fixie Sixty was first held in October 2008 with an excellent showing of Bozeman cyclists turning out for a sixty mile course around the Gallatin Valley. With the fall season fast approaching it's time to hit the streets, highways, and dirt roads once again for the Fixie Sixty (2).

This year's course will be sixty (two) miles long and will weave throughout the beautiful roads and paths of the Gallatin Valley. This may include some light dirt riding but will be primarily asphalt. As the name implies, the race will be open to fixed gear bicycles only. This is a closed-manifest alleycat race, meaning that the course will be mostly pre-determined and racers will be required to follow said course stopping and various checkpoints along the way.

BOZEMAN ALLEYCAT 2009

REDUNDANCY ALLEYCAT 2009 is an informal bicycle race presented to you by samh.net. For those unaware, Alleycat races are regularly organized events often found in cities across North America, Europe and Asia with strong bicycle messenger cultures. As Bozeman has no messenger culture Alleycat races are instead frequented by the urban cyclist culture (yes, that means you too are also invited as well, hipsters).

SPECIFICS

To achieve SUCCESS at REDUNDANCY ALLEYCAT 2009 each cyclist will have visit a series of checkpoints. At each checkpoint the cyclist will either have to perform a task, acquire an object, or write down a keyword. In order to perform these tasks the following items are required (cyclists riding in teams need only carry one of the following not including lights).

  1. $5 entry fee
  2. bicycle
  3. messenger bag or backpack
  4. camera or camera phone
  5. writing utensil
  6. front and rear bicycle lights

In exchange for your five dollar entry fee each racer will be provided a manifesto (aka a list of checkpoints and tasks) as well as a spokecard.

At the end of the race the winner will be determined based on how quickly they completed the course as well how successfully they completed the tasks. Mad props will obviously be given to anyone attending in drag.

WHEN and WHERE

REDUNDANCY ALLEYCAT 2009 will be held Friday, October 23rd, 2009 at 7:00pm. It will be a LeMans start from the pavillion area of the park.
