CHAMPIONS OF SCALLEYCAT!

Scalleycat Info Post!!

2008-01-12T11:49:00.000-08:00

Alright so I'm sure you're all freaking out that we don't have any legitimate information on our site. Here's the deal: a new site's in the works but it isn't done yet! Hold your 12 Horses! ANYWAYS. Here's some info for all of you that want it and are looking to sign-up:

San Francisco (12 hours long) - $25/team - Cash Purse: $250
(February 29th Pre-registration @ Chrome Industries 2pm-6pm)
(March 1st/9am @ Chrome Industries on Folsom) Race!

Reno (24 hours long) - $40/team - Cash Purse: $250
(March 28th Party @ The Satellite/Pre-registration tons of liquor specials all night)
(March 29th/10am @ The Fort) Race!

Overall points from each city gets a cash purse of $1000. Race both, points combine!

If you want to pre-register now, or have more questions, e-mail us at renoscalleycat@gmail.com and we'll workout a paypal deal.

For those of you who don't know how Scalleycat works, this is the deal: Scalleycat is a mix between a scavenger hunt and your typical alleycat race. The race is setup for teams of two and each team needs a digital camera. You'll get a book of objectives and from the point of the races start on you have 12 or 24 hours, depending on the city, to complete as many objectives as you can. Return at the end of the day with your books, they'll be graded, and we'll tally up points. Throughout the day is a series of sub-events as well such as skid contests, trackstand competitions, and footdown...all award points to your team if you choose to attend the subevents instead of keep completing objectives.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2008-01-04T13:42:00.000-08:00

Angie n' Tyler?

2007-12-10T11:24:00.000-08:00

Latest word on the street is ANGELINA JOLIE has the hots for '07 NACCC Skid Champion TYLER NEFF. "Brad just can't skid like Tyler can," she continues,"and he pinches his butt so tight when he skids by, it just makes me so wet!" WOW! What can you say to that? Wow! Kate better step up her Moon Walking skills if she's going to keep Tyler around. Angie later stated, "Naccc Schmack! I can't wait to watch Tyler skid at SCALLEYCAT '08."

What the hell? AJ is coming to SCALLEYCAT!!! Woo-woo!

We Love Dave!

2007-11-30T13:04:00.000-08:00

Oh Mills Why You Gotta Always Win?!?

2007-11-10T21:28:00.000-08:00

Dustin takes the Bike Out or Strike Out 08 Annual Alleycat! Chalk another victory up for the Reno Rolling Blackouts! Next race he's going to tow a full keg as a handicap! Good luck boys!

WTF?!

2007-11-09T11:36:00.000-08:00

Wow! Long time no postin' up on SCALLEYCAT! Time's fun while you're having flys...or something like that. Anyway, here's the latest: The wonderful Kat at NEWBELGIUMBREWING is throwing some serious parties at Scalleycat '08! Better be in SF for the post-race gig at CHROME, Satellite in RNO the night before the championship mayhem begins and at Tim Healion's "The Fort" for the post-race uber-party!!! CANE CREEK has recently released the V-33 carbon wrapped track wheel and it's INSANE! We can't believe how it's transformed our whips into urban slaying machines! The BLACK WIDOW (d. mills) & DEF destroyed the competition at Tyler Neff's Hell-o-Ween 3 hour brutilizer!!! He based it off the SF NACCC format and it was gnarly! Yeah baby, you mess with the 'widow and me...you best write your eulogy! ha! Great race, Tyler. Thanks! CHROME shit is just wicked cool! Check their latest fall/winter colors soon.... while you're at it, check the collaborative effort they are doing with infamous NYC destroyer-SQUID and his lovely lady! Look for fresh mug shots of your favorite bicycle messengers on your favorite brand of cards soon, BICYCLE cards! Who'd a thunk VELTEC SPORTS would love an alleycat like they love SCALLEYCAT?! They are our latest and greatest allies and the greatest race on earth in the Biggest Little City! Thanks Sara and friends! Chad Strand is loving life, loving his courier job, and LOVING THE LADIES in Seattle, WA. We miss you dude! Dave Kaminkow keeps sending us photos from Boston of boobies! Woohoo to you dude! GIT SUM!!! The Ubiquitous Anathema himself, Justin, is enjoying his photo schooling in Mass and we're missing that foo!

Dustin Mills-Paper Boy CHAMP!

2007-10-20T22:49:00.000-07:00

Who'd a thunk this sexy beast could whip so much ASS??!!!!

Bike Brother's sponsored Reno Rolling Blackouts had a strong showing at Justin Zabriskie's awesome Paperboy Classic! Leading for RRB from the get-go, Dustin Mills never looked back! Navigating the city streets, even a couple times for one stop ;) Dustin held off heavy contenders from around the Washoe Basin and even a spandex clad contingency from Bike Bananas! Sad to say, the Banana crew slipped on their own peels this eve but hopefully took good notes as Dustin offered a perfect lesson of alleycat racing how-to's. Nevertheless, great fun was had by all and huge props to those that showed and to the Z-Man himself for the race he designed! High-five! To Bike Banananananas sponsorship- High Five!!!

Extra, Extra! Read All About It!

2007-10-18T08:41:00.001-07:00

Remember your old paper route? Time to relive it!

Happy Halloween!

2007-10-11T13:47:00.000-07:00

Ugalde is absolutely awesome! If you haven't checked his work go to cyclehawk.com and click on his link!!! He's the man! Enjoy this spooky month and don't let little kids steal your candy!!!

An Evening With Scalleycat (Oct 26th...the full moon!)

2007-10-05T00:11:00.000-07:00

Alright friends, emissaries, established dignitaries, and the rest of the guttural trash of Reno. An Evening With Scalleycat does not mean we're having a sleepover (the five man spoon is only in fashion during winter and purely for warmth; no homo), it means we're all meeting at 530pm at the Mapes on Friday, October 26th for a little bit of fun in the Scalleycat spirit. We're doing no advertising so make sure you shoot this out to those friends of yours who don't read the boards and want to be involved in the Scalleycat pandemonium. Doug and I will be providing food for you and even better you're going to have these next few weeks to gather the best photos of the following ten objectives I will offer you in a moment. Purely subjective judging (by Doug and I) will take place and the best picture for each objective will be rewarded one of thirty special edition Scalleycat t-shirts. So ten objectives, top ten hipsters get hip t-shirts that if they're skinny enough don't reach to their hips and thus make them hipper. Along with that 15 t-shirts will be on sale, in auction style to make sure it's fair, for $10 a piece (to cover costs of shirts and food for you fools). Anyways, I know most of you ADHD tards can't read a paragraph this long much less the novella I could write on how much Scalleycat rules so here's the cliff notes:

An Evening With Scalleycat
When: 530pm, Friday, October 26th
Where: The Mapes (group ride to park for BBQ and fun after we get collected, byob but we'll feed you [veggie stuff too, no worries my anti-meat amis])
Price: Free, unless you want a special edition (1 of 30) Scalleycat shirt bring $10 and maybe you'll get one or win one

-Take photos from the following 10 objectives over the next few weeks.
-Submit to renoscalleycat@gmail.com by October 25th @ Noon, digitally. We're going to have them on display at the BBQ.
-It is a solo event so no partners, just you and a camera...might need to get help with shots though.
-Top 10 photos (funniest, nudest, hottest, most homoerotic, etc. it's purely subjective so be inventive and interpret accordingly) each get a special edition Scalleycat shirt.

OBJECTIVES
1) Get the Dirty Cowboy to trackstand your bike.
2) Shotgun a beer with a bum. (We want to include the X crowd in this and all other life choices so energy drink is a-ok if you don't booze. If you don't drink caffeine either just get the guy to beat off on a coffee cup or something because god knows any man can shotgun a bottle of dasani.)
3) Shot with a UNR cheerleader in uniform, preferably on your bike but if you get inventive and she's just using your toptube as a device for 'digital manipulation' as they called it in 5th grade sex ed, that's cool too.
4) Get punched by a UNR boxer. (Their studio is off 4th.) We all know you can fake getting hit so at least make it humorous.
5) Get a UNR basketball player to trackstand your whip.
6) Kiss a tourist. (We can't get over this one from last year and are in deep debate over whether or not any of you can trump Chad Strand's photo from last year.)
7) Best shot of your bike on a train. (Don't get busted at the tracks, thanks. I'm not bailing you out. Also, if you have a hobo in your shot I'm giving you props.)
8) Best shot of an animal on your bike.
9) Best bombing of Hunter Lake Hill.
10) Photo of the best Scalleycat advertising. (If you want stickers to place yourself in ironic places then let us know and we'll hook you up with some.)

That's the beast. Encourage your friends to checkout the site if they want to be involved because we're doing no advertising beyond this. Cheerio.

((A side note...growlers are half price to fill at silver peak during the full moon. That means a gallon of beer for $5-6. You can pay us back for the hint by bringing us each a porter. Thanks.))

Vegas baby......sucks!

2007-09-30T19:10:00.000-07:00

Las Vegas sucks! It just does. It's loud constantly. It's fucking nuts. One of my favorite characters was a begger dressed up as a catholic priest....he wanted money and to touch our peepees. Ha! Anyway, still exhausted from the trip....BUT....Interbike was fun while I worked three days with Scalleycat title sponsor CHROME selling product and partying on our two story booth! DJ Nugz was spinnin' his shit and the party was on! Marc had a birthday so the Patron shots started at 9:30 am! To all those who came by and shared Chrome and Scalleycat love, THANKS!!!! And to our new Scalleycat sponsors as of Interbike, THANKS!!!! I'll post you guys up soon....and share more stories. Back to recovery.

DeF Wins

2007-09-24T11:40:00.000-07:00

DeF: Coach says I have a good chance at this one...but I can't really talk right now. Coach says I gotta warm up.

Scalleycat.com supports spandex...only at the Floyd Landis Time Trial though...and occasionally we wear bibs as substitutes for wrestling outfits.

UCI Cat is Watching You Blood Dope

2007-09-21T15:50:00.001-07:00

As you may of heard, Landis has been dethroned and another victory has been won for legitimate cycling! Hooray! Maybe we can go back to the good old days when the only doping mechanism was a thick port to ease the pain when you climbed the Pyrenees (and there'd be accent marks for you whiners out there if I could only figure out how to do them on this piece of shit PC). In any case dearies: I'll see you at the races this weekend and get ready for a Scalleycat mini-event in October. Time for one last BBQ before we all start busting out the tights and commence with freezing to death.

Get 'Em While They're HOT!

2007-09-18T10:20:00.001-07:00

New Stickers! New Iron/Spray-ons! New everything to make the NUNS have dirty thoughts and all your wildest dreams come true!!! See PFE or DEF for yours today!!!!

Landis at SCALLEYCAT?

2007-09-12T13:30:00.000-07:00

Scalleycat News caught up with Floyd Landis...

SCNews: So Landis, rumor has it Sheryl is great in the sack and you're going to make it to Scalleycat '08!? You boned Sheryl too right?
Landis: After hearing of America's newest event, Scalleycat, last spring my curiosity has been provoked. Speaking of Sheryl Crow, that 'Hookers & Blow' page for the race was hilarious! Of course I'll be in RENO for SC.
SCNews: Will you be in SF for the 12 hour event?
Landis: I have a scheduling conflict and will be unable to attend.
SCNews: What could possibly be more important?
Landis: Well, even into retirement, the UCI is still requiring me to take piss tests. And they are updating the tests constantly. I have to meet with my doctor 'cause he has a new form of EPO, but it's not really EPO it just...well, it mixes good with my PowerBar Energy Drink formulas.
SCNews: Oh, so you're still doping?
Lance: ....
SCNews: Is it true what the news says that you supposedly have the hots for Greg Lemond's "peepee"?
Lance: ....
SCNews: No really, we heard you called him and said something to that effect. Came up in court, you know?
Landis: ....
SCNews: Why all the awkward silence Landis? Sometimes we lay around during Scalleycat and give each other brojobs. It's not gay if you're a bro dude.
Landis: : Right, well, I was in a fraternity.
SCNews: Ha! The EPO has turned you gay! We'll see you at Scalleycat! Say something that a champion with his titles revoked because he cheated would say.
Landis: Can't wait boys! And for those two whimps who call themselves champs, you got something coming at you next year!
SCNews: OK, enough.....bye Lance.

For more on the LA interview go to Cyclingnews.com and check it all out.

We here at Scalleycat would like everyone to know that we have nothing but contempt at this current moment for professional cycling at that this interview is of course a satire. Greg Lemond and his recent actions has served to calm us and we offer him full support as not only fellow cyclists but also for his great character and honesty in calling out and bringing to light the corrupt nature of the majority of professional cyclists. Rock on Lemond. We'd also like to say that Landis is a joke and if they don't strip him of his jersey we'd like to do it ourselves. That is of course as long as he isn't all bulked up and super aggressive from all the 'roids he's been on. We'd hate to get hurt and not be able to ride every day which by the way is more important than winning Landis. Cheers princess.

The Landis Trial

2007-09-10T21:49:00.001-07:00

True story: The REAL Landis Trial is September 22nd hosted by Bike Brothers & Co.! Time to load up on the epo? Hmmm. What I do know is that I can't wait for this race as it will definately be a blast! The Landis Trial is Floyd, Festina, Lance, and SCALLEYCAT endorsed! Be there! Rumor has it the '07 NACCC Skid Champ, Tyler Neff, will be present for autograph signing as well.
GOT EPO??!!

SCLLYCT Spottings....

2007-09-07T16:07:00.000-07:00

Dorm rooms across the east are being decorated by Scalleycat wallpaper (not available at wal-mart!).
Boston is the most recent city with many SCLLYCT sightings. Dave Kam is reppin' hard and ridin' tough I hear. Sounds like the 'citement is brewing and spreading 'cross country! You east coasters best begin planning your exodus out west soon! March is right around the corner.

...just got off the phone with Chad and Nick up in Seattle. Those guys are just plain cool. Anyway, keep this on the DL...but SC might lay the smackdown on Seattle in summer of '08. Stay tuned!
Want Scalleycat in a town near you? Just contact these derilects! Workin' hard and always dressed to impress!

Hot Product!

2007-09-06T21:43:00.000-07:00

We hope you all are going to be at Interbike '07 to see the latest and greatest bike crap! We also hope we can drink a beer together, check out the unvailings of new product from CHROME and friends, and drink another beer! At NACCC SF we came across a company, FABRIC HORSE that provided a great (seatbelt strap) u-lock holder! We love it! So, in the spirit of sweet, good looking product, grrr, check out the latest from Fabrichorse.com 'cause we think it's HOT! ....the u-lock holder that is.
