Alleycat in Fribourg (16/04/2011)
On saturday the first Alleycat was organised in Fribourg. People came from Neuchatel, Geneva, Biel, Bern, Fribourg and other places. The start was in front of the train station and the finish in front of Café de la Presse. The Winners where Ben & Antoine in the men category and Pauline and Elizabeth in the women category.
And obviously Kreepz Custom Cycles was in the place and had a very cool prize for the winner of the Alleycat!
