Perseguido por el Perkele

At 20.30 friday night. Approximately sixty bikers and buddys are gathered at Plaza Bogota. Perseguido por el Perkele is about to start. Well, we are still missing one of the organizers, but things will happen in time if you are willing to adopt a chilean way to think about it. 

2 laps, a bit over 10 km track through Santiago borough as a race against the clock is the job for tonight. 16 riders take the chance. First straight is a lazy shoot through few traffic lights comparing to what is about to come.
Two kilometer  descent at 3-4 laned av. Matta is giving nice speeding with cars certainly taking their space. Through few darker alleys track reaches it midpoint and come-back ascent at av. Matta takes what riders still got to offer.
Winning time with gears: 00:36:50 is made by Erik, same rider who ruled previous Santiago alleycats with fixed gear some month ago. Minute and fifty seconds slower comes first one- gear taking second place in total score. Winners are awarded with products of friendly local brewery DieM and miscelanious goods. Polo and party keeps on going until last of the brave poloists wreck their mallets and it is time to head home.
