I realised that I do not have to work on MLK day so I decided to do an alley cat. Its called the King County Rubbing Race where each checkpoint will be at property that the county owns. You will get a crayon to rub over a plaque at each checkpoint. You get to route your own path and the checkpoints will be all over town.
I am still working out some details and sponsors which I will post soon.
This is an open invitation alleycat and I hope to see you there.
