ALLEYCAT DETAILS:
Go here: http://tiny.cc/4SwEf for a map of the checkpoints.
Locations are to be confirmed but more or less decided. Any changes will be published with plenty of notice. The race so far includes 12 checkpoints and will start from the gates of the Forbidden City (what a setting!).
First to collect stamps from all checkpoints and reach the finishing station (near the Drum Tower) wins.
Fixie friends from Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Taiwan etc may want to study this map before coming to familiarise yourself with possible routes.
