Soon we have the 3rd mini alleycat in our year long series. The first few alleycats have been quite successful, especially with the weather. General gist of these races – Each race will be around 10 miles long, they may be longer and shorter depending on what fits. There are no fancy arse prizes, each [...]

Man, it’s been sooo long since I posted up here, so my apologies for that. What better way to get back into the swing of things though than for a bloody good cause. Tyron from The Foot Down and a couple of others (so far) are riding from Swansea to London to raise money for [...]

Coming up will be the second event in our series of races. If you had ridden the last event you will have an idea of what’s coming up. Otherwise – Each race will be around 10 miles long, they may be longer and shorter depending on what fits. There are no fancy arse prizes, each [...]

Oz has come up with a genius idea, a cheeky little alleycat around Cardiff that involves pubs. What’s not to like? The evenings are closing in, it’s getting difficult to ride so this is a perfect tonic to our autumn and winter blues… Sunday November 14th, 11am – 15 miles or so, with an entry [...]

As Autumn weekends go, this one was beautiful. The sky was almost cloudless and the wind was fairly steady. Three of us headed down to Swansea for the much vaunted Owlycat put on by The Foot Down. Tyron promised this alleycat would be epic and he wasn’t wrong!

Just thought I’d let people know that Darran from Freestyle Skate Store in Newport is putting on a two day sale a few weekends away. He’s a lovely guy and also a fellow FG rider Link to his blog

Some of us chaps at Fixed Gear Cardiff with those fancy GPS phone thingy-majigies have started tracking our rides using a great service called Endomondo. It’s like a MyTracks or similar service but with a bit of a social twist to it meaning that you can see your friend’s rides and stats, create routes for [...]

So here are the checkpoints for the race! Starting and ending at the grassy bit next to Cardiff High School, we’ll be taking in some of Cardiff’s major hotels. Everyone is to meet by the City Hall/Museum at 7pm then at around 7.45pm we’ll ride to the start location. View The Porter Alleycat checkpoints in [...]

Well, it’s long overdue but as you can see the site has finally had a bit of a refresh. There’s still a couple of bits to do, but it’s midnight and well past my beddy-byes so I’m leaving it like this for now. Enjoy. (if it still looks a bit yellow and manky but with [...]
