yeah, hopefully I'll be able to actually see what some of you NY kids really look like... just take Metro north straight into New Haven. $30 round trip and you can take your bikes on the train.

goldenskeletons

ha! i look like i really need a shower. i've heard nothing but good things about the new haven races and riders, and i think a decent nyc crew will come out for this. handshakes and high fives will ensue.

Kilgore_Trout

anyone from boston planning on going down for this?

Revolution Smmr

Also, it should be mentioned that it is part of the Kings of New England series

queerpunk

really? KONE is expanding, eh?

maybe this year, ya won't let a non new englander take one of the crowns...


i'll be there

Kilgore_Trout

what is this kings of new england series?

bitpartinyrlife

i'm apparently coming out for this. queerpunk has not given me a choice...

Revolution Smmr

My bad... The KONE New Haven race is this summer

queerpunk

KONE '06 was a 3 day race. Hartford Alleycat, Hardfort to New Haven Race, New Haven Alleycat.

Kilgore_Trout

i was under the impression new england encompassed more than just connecticuit.

BuddyMike

Last year, KoNE conflicted with the Zelda Race. April 1st is a Sunday so I think I may be down for this. I believe you go points if you showed up with your Zelda card.

queerpunk

shrug. take it up with the organizers. they also snubbed the biggest city in CT (where i was living), so i held a grudge, but it was more for the novelty of having a grudge than feeling bad.

anyhoo, bitpart, you have no choice. you're coming. same goes for you, goldenskeletron. whiskey on the train on the way back. it will be lovely.

goldenskeletons

aw, mattio... drinking on a train with you? there doesn't even need to be a race to get me to do that. i'm in. you know this.

and after last weekend, bitparty can tell you how opposed i am to drinking on the train on the way TO the race.

donotpanic

providence will role deep. do any of y'all know this kid named 'metro mark' who is down with kids in Durham, NC?

Revolution Smmr

40s on the train is WAY cooler than whiskey.

bitpartinyrlife

yeah, i'm gonna try to make this my first race without a hangover. but dan, if nothing else last friday night was at least a good story. you can't tell me you didn't expect something like that anyway--its common knowledge we're a bunch of drunks. only one person wins the race, but everyone wins at the bar!

So this sounds like a lot of fun. Some bike ladies in Boston are thinking about coming. Will there be an after party? I'd like to get a good taste of what is fun about the city in New Haven also any must see dives? We will either try to find a place to crash on saturday night or just come in for the day.

Any New Haven non murderers have a carpet for crashing? Let me know.

Revolution Smmr

I'm sure there will be an after party, but I haven't heard where yet. If you want places to check out then try Rudy's for beer and Mamoun's for falafel ($2.50 each!). I'll post something on the New Haven cycling board to see if anyone has floor/couch space.

how many of you from boston plan on going down? i'd like to at least travel to new haven with a group from boston.

goldenskeletons

apparently there's an april fool's race going on in NYC the same day as this.

but i'm still planning on coming for this. hell, i ride in new york every day, and i owe aeroplane a visit (and a bike tube). he's somewhere in your crazy connecticuts. ...i'll try to bring my own pump for this race.

bitpartinyrlife

yeah, i think i am too. there will be plenty more alleycats in New York. i'm always down to get drunk and ride slowly in a different locale...

howler

Besides me with have three other potentials from boston going. We are trying to make the trip as fun as possible so we have not decided if we are going to go in on the saturday or just for the sunday. I think it would be awesome to bike around the city, go to some dive bars and meet some new haven bike people, so we will see. We are thinking about renting a car so you could probably get in on it.

Revolution Smmr

if you're coming down saturday night and want to ride around/drink, just let me know.
