WHAT: Second Solo Cache Valley 2020 Alleycat!

WHERE: Cache Valley, UT

You might be wondering, “well, what's an Alley Cat?” 

An Alley Cat is an informal, unsanctioned bike event to help people explore their communities on bikes. .We’ve adapted the event to encourage folks to get out and explore, as opposed to trying to compete for a fast time. 

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Hop on your bike (don’t forget your helmet!)

2. Earn points by riding this route for 15 points, participating in our #WhyWePedal bonus prize challenge, AND by finding as many of the items as you can! You can find the Manifest item list below. 

3. Document each item on the Manifest that you find with a photo. 

4. Submit your photos here so we can count your points. 

We also encourage you to share them to Instagram or Facebook to spread the word about the AlleyCat! Be sure to use the hashtags #cachevalleybikeweek #trailscache #soloalleycat #pedalcache and tag @trailscache and @aggiebluebikes 

5. Win bike prizes and gift cards up to $50 to use at a local bike shop! Gift cards will be given to participants with the most points.
