Double Down All-Ladies Alleycat coming to you in July

Update: Just saw a flyer on Jeremy Ocain's facebook page, with original art by local lady cyclist Marcella Mendez:

Frikkin' sweet, and hell of a sponsor list! I can't wait to not race this one!

Ladies and gents... actually, this one's just for the ladies. It's over a MONTH away but these girls know how to plan shit and have already gotten me the details for Austin's next all-ladies Alleycat! Check it:

"Double Down" is an all-ladies alley cat style race taking place on Saturday, July 11th. Registration begins at 4:30pm at the capitol, and the race begins at 6pm. The race has a Las Vegas/gambling theme, so come dressed up because there will be prizes for the best costumes, as well as several other racing categories. Fast Folks Cyclery (2513 E 6th St.) will be hosting the after party/award ceremony starting around 8pm, complete with beer, food, and a few great surprises. Registration for the race is $5, and admittance to the after party for non-racers will be $5, the proceeds of which will go to support the Austin Yellow Bike Project. Racers should bring a lock, a bag/backpack, money, and water. Anyone interested in working a checkpoint or donating a prize/food for the after party should email Heather or Jessica for more
information

Thanks for sending me this, Heather. The turn out for the last all-ladies Alleycat was substantial and that was just the beginning. Tell all your girl friends and girlfriends about this one, because I anticipate that it's going to be BIG!
