</div>After minutes of deliberation we've decided to go ahead with the second annual running of the <b><i>Spring Roll</i></b> in Pittsburgh, PA. This year will be a bit different than last year... Well, a lot different, really.<br />
<br />
Here's the drill: Show up at <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3900+forbes+ave+pittsburgh&sll=40.442054,-79.956295&sspn=0.000414,0.000868&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=3900+Forbes+Ave,+Pittsburgh,+Allegheny,+Pennsylvania+15213&ll=40.442035,-79.956091&spn=0.000425,0.000868&t=h&z=21">The Wall</a> at 4:30 PM, the race will start promptly at 5:00. Bring $10, your bike and a bag (helmets are recommended, but not required).<br />
<br />
There will be some sort of prizes and more than likely the refreshments will be comparable to last year (minus the stinky tofu).<br />

Congratulations to Louisa, who not only dominated the women's division in style, but won the overall points competition, bringing in <a href="http://springrollalleycat.blogspot.com/2010/03/manifest.html">menus from all 10 neighborhoods</a> and collecting seven of the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSNlfvkygeoQ8PwXAEzHX8lkemEbOL58i8RUnGwoXnD4_HnhMrMvckyzJ7RVoyZGv6Frck6fef6ge2BudF6Ehwf8cqfzOl23TTrf0a4hm_vWZ7ZejXzcDMLI9j9jvy42wjLCVq7uCA6gw/s1600-h/ManifestV3-2.jpg">eight bonus options</a>.<br />
<br />
Hats off to Greg Brunner of <a href="http://Jetrush.com/">Jet Messenger</a> for speeding his way to first place in an amazingly fast time (exact time unknown, but it was under 1:15).<br />
<br />
And congratulations to Kevin from Portland for winning the out-of-town division. He made up his own bonus points category by returning with an extra case of beer to the afterparty.<br />

</div>Last but not least, we've received the highly anticipated prizes from our sponsors in Singapore. This <a href="http://www.peonfx.com/messenger-bags/">PEONFX Wolfpac messenger bag</a> will be up for grabs, but let's just say it may not necessarily go to the fastest rider. The bag is designed with commuters in mind, with lots of handy features like a laptop sleeve, organizing pockets galore, and a draw-string inner closure to keep the elements out and your stuff secure.<br />

PEONFX also stepped up with <a href="http://www.peonfx.com/t-shirts/">an assortment of t-shirts</a>. These high-quality t-shirts aren't going to become shop rags—they're just too nice.
