Superlate Superhappy Funtime Alley Cat Recap.
Its been over a week now since the Superhappy Funtime Alley Cat Race took place, but I remember it like it was yesterday. The tension in the air, the clank of a single die on an outdoor table top and the finely tuned athletes of the FBC zig-zagging across South City like so many dizzy lightning bolts.
Jeff and Jake put on this race like a couple of seasoned professionals from some hip city that has two alley cat races every weekend. The production value was high and shit was organized. There were even little Superhappy Funtime Alley Cat Race buttons and a free keg of beer for participants and spectators alike.
Success in this particular race had a lot to do with luck, not just blinding speed on a two-wheeler. Before the race each rider was given a map which showed the six checkpoints they would have to visit. The order in which you visited the checkpoints depended on the rolling of dice. Your roll at the registration table determined where you were headed first. Then every time you arrived at a check point you rolled again to determine where you went next. If you got to a check point and failed, three times, to roll a checkpoint that you had not yet been to, then you had to do a challenge before you could move on. Challenges included: sinking a washer, spelling a difficult bicycle related word, solving a puzzle and running through playground equipment.
When it was all said and done Seth and Rose came home victorious with bags of goodies, and added their names to the FBC history books.
Thanks so much to Jeff and Jake and everyone involved for putting on a totally righteous event.

Thanks to all of those who worked checkpoints and raced.
