DannyK won The Dead City Alleycat 2021: Ghost of the DC Streets



more mentions of Danny on this second link than the first...


DannyK and Bruce in Dupont
not the natural habitat for either of these messengers
DannyK and Bruce are downtown to work
not to hang out in the park

DannyK is educated in GIS Mapping
does that education give DannyK an advantage in Alleycats?
hmmm...
what give Danny his edge in racing Alleycats?


DannyK is fast... but it is not so simple as being fast
there are other messengers with a higher top speed

is it the GIS Mapping training?

I do not think that the formal GIS training is what gives DannyK an edge in Alleycats
no... it is more a matter of professionalism 
DannyK treats an Alleycat with the same focus and determination as he delivers each day as a messenger

DannyK has worked many years as a messenger
now DK has his own messenger business

calm... cool... collected...

it is a job... not a lifestyle


DannyK is fast and fluid on the bike
DannyK's transition through the checkpoints is efficient
these are the elements that contribute to DannyK being an effective messenger and a fast Alleycat racer

others may have a higher top speed
but DannyK is less prone to making a mistake

each Alleycat is like a horse race
at the start of the race there are favorites 
expected winners
always a handful of horses to bet on

it was no shock that DannyK won The 2021 Dead City Alleycat
it was also no shock that DannyK tied with Jordon
as Jordon has been the most winning Alleycat racer in DC as of late
so...
seeing those racers at the race start
who bet on whom?
oh... there was no official betting
but betting in your mind

in my mind... Jordon... DannyK... Syd... Joe... JohnnyW... Bruce... Kate Schrock
each of them are awesome
any of them could have won on this day

but it was DannyK who scored the most points and also finished at the top of the high scoring list of racers
