Years ago while attempting to take a train to Copenhagen, I fell asleep and woke up in Bonn, Germany. All of my life Ive made a career, no- an art form, out of falling asleep on trains and waking up miles away from my destination.
Anyhow- homegirl, Pixelfree*78 (aka the lovely Astrid) has enlightened us on the haps in the fare city of Bonn.
CASINO ALLEY CAT 21.04.2007
Bonn / Germany
Magnus from Velofix, Bonn, called for the next alley cat in Bonn. We arrived in Bonn around 7pm after a 35km bike ride from Cologne to Bonn along the river.
The first meeting point was Saturday evening at Max-Spree-Street at 9pm. Bike Messengers from Cologne and Bonn decided to share the funny alley cat.
The race took 2 ½ hours, including 5 checkpoints distributed over the city. Each team had to pull their fist checkpoint. The cologne chaos team with Dandü, me and Anja pulled No. 1, the checkpoint on the other side of the river. So let the race start. 10pm.
There you had to do two little jobs in a team. The first one was to pull another card to figure out which checkpoint of the five was your next one. And our team jumped the most time during the race between checkpoint 1 and 4, with the farest distinction and always the river with the bridge between us.

The 2nd task was you had to play like in a casino for money. You could pull a card and lose or win money, or you had to spin the back wheel of the bike to win or loose it, to check out your new checkpoint or you had to drink wodka shotz, doing some push ups or other crazy things.
Also you could get money if you left the fastest way between the check points and bringing some gifts with you like mercedes stars from the cars, printet-out bank account facts, infosheets...
One time i ran into a eros center and all of the sudden a security boy tried to catch me and to hit me...but i was faster and we got points for it too..
after a hard, rough, funny 2 ½ bike ride we all met us in a pub to figure out who was the winner. You also got bonus for best out of town and best girl***

Words to live by.
