Virtual Alleycat?

An Alleycat race is an informal bicycle race where riders try to finish visiting checkpoints and performing tasks before other participants.
In a virtual Alleycat, participants visit various checkpoints – bicycle-related websites – to complete the task of finding the next checkpoint When you see a 'checkpoint' image (like the one on the left) on one of these websites, leave a comment and then click the image to get to the next checkpoint.

Participating Websites and Blogs

Many of your favorite cycling websites and blogs are serving as checkpoints and you'll see them as you click through each of the checkpoints.

Rules and How to Win

  1. You must visit each and every checkpoint in the Virtual Alleycat by submitting a form at the Alleycat end with your registration number and a list of every checkpoint website you visited. Here's a tip: Record your registration number and every website URL (just the domain is fine, but a full URL pointing to a specific page is also valid) as you click through each checkpoint.
  2. Some of the checkpoints will be hidden and will test your Internet browsing skills. Try a page search or website search for "alleycat" or "Yehuda Moon", or read comments on posts dated January 29th or January 30th. Some checkpoints may be delayed in getting set up! We'll endeavor to have all checkpoints ready to go at race start, but things happen. If you think you find a dead checkpoint, the quickest way to notify us is to send a Tweet to @cyclelicious.
  3. When you reach the final checkpoint, you will submit a web form with a name, registration number, checkpoint list, and an email address. This email address will be kept private. If you are selected as a winner, we will contact you and ask for your permission to pass your contact info along to the prize fulfillment representative.
