"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - Sleepy Hole Smackdown: Suffolk. Who's going?

I'm in for the 4's race. Lets see how you mid atlantic racers throwdown.

Anyone else going?

(Also, is there another crit/rr in the area on sunday?)

Nah, it was supposed to be U. of Maryland on Sunday.

TT on sun

so bummed but relieved umd got cancelled this year

So nobody's racing in suffolk on saturday?

If I could get a babysitter I'd be there.

suffolk is a little far away for most of us in the mid atlantic

Ugh...

Looks like it's supposed to be raining all weekend.

I guess I'm going to have to play this one by ear...

I registered. I feel about 70% sure I'll go.

I'll see what the forecast says tomorrow and then register tomorrow night.

Eh, whatever.

I'm going.

Dmb, hopefully I'll see you there.

I'm kinda glad to have the weekend off. I probably wouldn't go to WVU since it's SOOO far away, but since I can take this weekend to chill and not have any races, I'm probably gonna go to WVU. I figure since nobody usually shows up for that one, I might have a chance to do well.

Race canceled due to weather. New race date is 3/22.

Who cancels a bike race because of rain...

I need to get my money back now, because I'm going back home in a few days. This is actually pretty stupid...

be glad. cancelling this thing just saved you a bunch of skin rtc, a big bunch of skin. virginians drive terribly ride bikes just the same. it's like they get a crooked gene at birth or as soon as they obtain residency. you should see them try to navigate a bike race. heck, lithuania rides in a 96.1% straighter line since moving across the potomac.

I take offense to that. I'm a (transplanted) Virginian and can ride perfectly straight.

Contact the race promoter. I'm sure he'll work it out. There's still the TT on Sunday if you feel like racing in the rain.

I contacted the promoted already.

I think we're throwing a party on saturday night so the TT is probably a no go. I also don't see the point of doing a TT on my road bike, especially since I hate solo efforts. It'd be a good way to get a real sense of FTP though.

Whatevs...

This must have been before lithuania moved across the river. :innocent:

Heh, it is what it is. I get to party a bit more. Spring break the way it should be.

I'll probably drive home on monday now, and race a tuesday nighter in jersey, and then head back to CT on friday and race in plainsville on saturday and possibly do bethel on sunday. That'll be 5 races for next week then. Hopefully my body will be up for it.

Edit: Actually, my parents wouldn't be too happy about my leaving to go back so early haha. I'll probably just head back on saturday and race at bethel. I love that course anyway. The hill at the end is good for my weight.

:roflmao2:

there's still the 3.9% left to go.

where is he? is he on here today to defend himself?

welll shhiiiiiiiiiiittt... I can't make it on the make up date. Looks like i need a refund. I was just getting ready to tell my g-ma i'm coming down for the night. man, I was gonna go. at least i'll save gas money. time to order bike parts to cheer me up.

MDCatV's zing was pretty funny, yet rich coming from someone from Maryland! As unnerving as Charlottesville traffic is, the beltway North of DC is the scariest place to drive I've experienced in a long while. I hope not to have to return for a long time. Next time I go to Maryland, I'll stick to the Western part of the state....

Cue banjo music.

And look. It's nice outside!

Sorry, not going to that. Though it would be fun to do a TT on my road bike and see how everything works out on that.

Oh well. The weather this morning was good enough to hold a crit in. Pity they decided to cancel it.

Yeah, hopefully the real nasty weather won't start until us juniors get well under way. At least they are saying that the wind should have died down by tomorrow morning.
