queerpunk's right. it's the best race of the year. And I'm not saying that just because I'm organizing it.
I don't post here anymore, and it only occurred to me tonight to check BF to see if you all knew about the race. You should come out & do it. It's less competitive (for most people) and more about contributing to a good cause.
If you can't come, or don't race, consider making a donation anyway. We're raising funds for City Harvest and the New York Bike Messenger Foundation: <a href="http://www.cranksgiving.org">Cranksgiving.org</a>
