Again, riding is fun. Doing a dry aka shadow aka test run-- post Alleycat Race from 2019. Took the route down by checkpoint and traced it for m'self. Knowing all the checkpoints is not how these races are completed, that'd be cheating. Apologies for the camera angle, used a head mount. Definitely will consider a chest mount next time to save from the dizzying affects of viewing this enduring ride.
This was my endeavor to take all my cycling skills growing up and 12 years of NYC commuting, to see if I could handle the simulation of racing throughout Manhattan. I picked a Saturday to do it. No accidents, all safe and sound. Memory card ran out unfortunately on the last approach to Brooklyn, so no visual proof but I did complete the ride in full in about 2.5 hours.
