    Hey all! Nichole and Caz are planning a very different Mellow Monday and want to make sure everyone's in on the plan before we throw a wrench in your normal Monday ride! We are hosting an alley cat, which is a bike race that is deeply rooted in messenger culture. Typically it's about going fast and knowing the best way around town but we're slower and funner than that. It's going to be the least alley cat race to exist! Think of this like a scavenger hunt. Game Play: Teams: -Everyone will be split in to small teams randomly and given a manifest (aka your ride guide) of tasks -There will be an opt out team that has a leader that will lead you around to view the task sites Tasks: - All within a ~2 mile range from the school -Some done anywhere, some done at specific locations -It's up to your group to decide where to go/how many tasks to try and complete/what routes to take -There are an array of things to do for different comfort and fun levels -No one has to participate in any task they don't feel comfortable with -Some tasks may require group participation or just picking one person to complete it Prizes: -Points will be tallied at the end and need photo proof -There will be prizes for teams who earn the most points generously provided by PNX bags, Chronic Carry and River City Bicycles. Opt Out Team: If you don't want to participate and you'd rather just ride your bike we have a designated ride leader who will be rolling through some of the stops so you can enjoy a semi-normal mellow Monday and get to watch people compete. Please speak with either Nichole, Caz, or Moorland before the ride begins if you have any questions or concerns. We'll go over it but rules are meant to be broken and the point of this ride is to connect and have fun! So just do that and you're a winner in our book!
