hey i'm heading down after the races thursday...

maybe it is slightly geeky to have a bikeforums meet-and-greet--however, the possibility of appearing geeky has not stopped me in the past. if you guys are doing something, post please. i'll be riding my hot hot red nishiki road bike... my would-be fixie schwinn is having issues and i'd rather not have too many surprises in NY. i think there will be enough of those... man i don't think i'm gonna sleep the entire time. and then back to work on july 5th! woo hoo.

To Wangster: who from LA? a bunch of my lovely los angeles crew just got there yesterday.

other stuff going on 2nite:
The last stage of the R1 Race, supposedly it all goes down at 7pm at Allen + Stanton... about to head down to see
Also this off the NYBMA site:

FLYER. LIVE MUSIC

i'd be down for a little fun and horsing around if anyone is down...

I've heard this is a very serious event and there will be no "horsing around" to be had.

who was at union pool last night?

i was driving my girlfriend home from the airport at about 1am and saw a huge amount of track bikes hanging from the chainlink fence in front of union pool. a whole bunch were locked up across the street under the bqe. it was a sick scene.

have fun in nyc everyone!

Hey, everyone should come out to prospect park tonight and do the races. We're thinking team relays, maybe madison. It'll be fun and gives us a chance to meet everyone, especially outtatowners. We'll be at the main entrance, 10pm, rain or pitchblack...

any ideas on which events would be best for spectating? i'll be logging a fair amount of time at the beach and in front of the grill this weekend, but want to set aside some time to check out the worlds... any suggestions are appreciated, thx.

I think your best bet would be Saturday, the 1st part of the main race, the sprints & skids, the bunny hop, and whatever other track events they've got lined up.

Last minute nerd ID tip: if you see a guy walking around with a dog-and-crossbones tattooed on his right calf with "Sascha" written underneath in piratey script, that's me. Feel free to say, "yo" or give me a slap upside the head. Whatever's customary.

Stop by the Sprints and Skids and say HI ,I will be there.

S/F,
CEYA!

Is their a route from NYC to hoboken to ride? I would hate to take the path train to watch people race..i know it would just make me super jelous. I would much much rather ride out there. anyone else doing this?

hey if yah see some tool with a squid tatoo shaved head and terrible handlebar moustace come say hi... i'm only packing one jersey so you'll recognize me by the stinky black spot shirt also...

yeah, page 28 in the event guide.

i wrote that!

it's friday kids, where d parties at? were going to the spot on houston this afternoon.

Hi guys!! Hi!! Ceya What's going on?
This is Tomity from Tokyo Japan
CMWC started on June 29.
I saw website of NYBMA.
https://nybma.com/events/cmwcpixalready.php
I found some acquaintances.
It is heard that about 20 people are participating from Japan.
I was not able to go to CMWC.
Instead,I requested my friend's TATSUYA OKI to take CMWC Tomity Keirin goods.
It is a souvenir from me to CMWC.
Please inform me of the impression if you get it. (Private Messages)

Please tell me the talk if you did from Japan.
Please enjoy you of the CMWC participation.
your friend in cycling,
Tomity

we met your friends, they were trading tokyo messenger shirts for cadence shirts. there were 500 people at warsaw bar.polish social club, the people who owned the bar had a bad system. thug bouncers, no bike parking except 3 blocks away, so we went to free pizza night at capones, they also did free redstripe from midnight to 1am. today is a big day here, will post photos later tonight.

so i'm alive and in nyc, well now i'm in nj... but yeah the opening party for the worlds was a blast, i got drunk and then biked around where the world trade center be and yeah was lost. spent last night in nj. back to the world chapionships. oh yeah i fell over last night in front of all these swiss and french kids, not so much crashed as fell over and looked like a tool.

When does it end? I got married last night and we are going to NYC for our honeymoon. I doubt she'd let me go watch but if i could detour her over that way it would rock!

Thanks especially to Msngr for showing a guy a good time. Sorry about crapping out in CP.

Results are up.

Rawk.

What a memorable weekend.

Msngr, get well soon man. Sorry I didn't get to catch you out there...I saw your bike though. :/
Wangster, Lightgraphs, Ceya, good seeing you all there.
I managed to catch a couple of days, did some rides, helped out a little, bombed around the course and knocked my wheel waaay out of true. Met riders from all over - you Toronto folk are good peoples.

So I finally got around to uploading some photos. Hope they show up.
Thanks BT for catching saturday's events, I forgot the cam. Nice work.


Amy's moment to shine




These people were all staring at the naked guys




Some dope-ass skids:










Leaving Jersey City for good and doing the group ride




The group was spread out all over. There were many of us on the road, everywhere. At one point we paused in Hoboken:



Wangster, sorry to lose you on the hill man. I had to get off that thing asap!
Then the cops showed up and things got a lil sketchy. It turned out okay.

One last shot as we crossed the GWB:



After that, hung out and watched some flicks at the park. Good times.
I hope all those who visited our city had a good time too. Ride safe.
