Pomona: Alley Cat Racing & Movie Screening

The Pomona Valley Bicycle Coalition hosted its first fundraiser on Saturday, August 25, 2012, a "Ride-In" movie night.  Approximately 120 local cyclists rode into Palomares Park for an Alley Cat Race coordinated by Mobbin' Monday and an outdoor screening of To Ride & Die in LA by TRAFIK Pictures

Participating racers gathered on the lawn to receive a secret address and were then instructed to place their bikes along a wall for a true alley-cat start to the race. With an official countdown by Mayor Rothman, the racers hit the streets for the good ol' fashioned pedal race.  The objective: find the quickest route to the secret address, pick up an object, and be the first to make it back. 

Shortly after the race, folks made their way around to partnering tables and booths gathering information, exchanging contacts, and collecting swag. Once the sun set, it was movie time!

We thank our friends at PVBC for inviting us to participate.  It's awesome to see such a vibrant community of cyclist coming together in an effort to improve bike-ability in their town. We look forward to supporting future events. Keep us posted.
