The event kicked off with an alley cat beginning at Halcyon Bike Shop and ending at the Nashville Bicycle Lounge for an after party and sprint races. <br />
<br />
Despite the rain, we still had a great turnout and got a lot of great feedback on the course; I'm pumped it was a fun ride, guys! Chris Callis took first in the alley cat, winning a <a href="http://www.seagullbags.com/">Seagull</a> messenger bag, with Nathan and Max in second and third respectively, both taking home <a href="http://burrobags.com/">Burro</a> hip bags. Once the racers started arriving at the Bike Lounge, the after party and sprint races began. Things started to get pretty competitive, and we had a lot of great match-ups! Tyler Walker (aka <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tylerwalkermusic">Methdad</a>) took out the seemingly unbeatable Neil to win first place, taking home the Golden Saddle and <a href="http://www.brevm.com/">Brev M</a> golden wheelset; Neil took second, winning the <a href="http://www.eighthinch.com/">EighthInch</a> golden drop bars. Art finished in third place, however, he posted the top time of the whole night! <br />
<br />
Another major part of the after party was our fundraiser raffle to purchase children's bikes for <a href="http://www.toysfortots.org/">Toys for Tots</a>. We sold raffle tickets and gave out tons of prizes non-stop all night, including a complete bike donated by the <a href="http://www.nashvillebicyclelounge.com/mainland.htm">Bicycle Lounge</a>, a wheelset donated by <a href="http://halcyonbike.com/">Halcyon</a>, a jersey donated by <a href="http://www.nashvillebicyclelounge.com/mainland.htm">Chrome Bags</a>, <a href="http://www.skullyboom.com/">SkullyBoom</a> Boomboxes, an insane amount of apparel from <a href="http://coalheadwear.com/">Coal Headwear</a>, and so much more! By the end of the night we had raised nearly $700! We even had a visit from the <a href="http://nashvillepedaltavern.com/">Nashville Pedal Tavern</a>, who provided free rides around 5 Points, and donated half of their sign-ups for the night to the fundraiser! We also had free beer, provided by <a href="http://www.yazoobrew.com/">Yazoo Brewing Company</a>, and free <a href="http://www.redbull.com/">Red Bull</a> to get us all through the late night. Overall, the event was a huge success! Big thanks to <a href="http://www.greenfleetmessengers.com/">Green Fleet</a> for being the top donor of the night! I also want to thank all of our generous sponsors for supporting the event as well as every one who participated; we couldn't have made all of this happen without you.
