Dutch Alleycat, Basel, 29 Jul 2005


Last Saturday we had a funny Alley Cat in honour of our dear Thomas visiting us from Amsterdam. As he is a real Dutchman we had to organize a special Dutch Alley Cat with many Netherland - related Checkpoints. The riders (equipped with a partially in dutch written Manifest) had to do a Grachten Crossing and a Klompen Dance (to the Dutch national anthem) as well as to solve puzzles and to find Rotterdamstrasse or Erasmus itself. The riders obviously all had a whale of a time and the after party went on till the early, early morning....

So here are the results:

1. Philip (Kurierzentrale) Time: 1h8min Prize: an oversized dutch Cheese
2. Sven (non messenger) Prize: two original dutch Klompen
3. Pädde (Veloexpress) Prize: a fine Joint with original dutch Haschisch in it
4. Bruno (Kurierzentrale) FIRST FIXED!
5. Martin (Kurierzentrale)
6. Ivo (Kurierzentrale)
7. Thomas (Infinity Express) FIRST OUT OF TOWNER (wins a free shift at Veloexpress)
8. Dave (Veloexpress)
9. Travis (non messenger)
10. Simon (non messenger) DFL
11. Thierry (Veloexpress) DNF
