Lots of fun tonight. Thanks for putting this on vivophobic. It was great meeting everyone--see you all next monday if not on thursday for the PP races.

Thanks to everyone who came out on only a few days notice. Definately had a great time bringing up the rear. Cant wait until next week to do it again. Anyone who was thinking of coming out and didnt should try to make it next week.

Also, It was definately nice to finally put some faces to screen names.

See you all next monday!

that was fun, thanks for organizing it (and waiting for me at the end), but seriously, what was the time of kid who won it? like 30 or 32 minutes? that is WAY to fast.

nice job.

You guys did two laps, yeah? So that's like 24mph average for the winner. Sounds about right. Who won?

didn't get out there yesterday, but I'm heading out to the park in about 15 mins.
gotta do something with that lunch hour...anyone else with a little time to kill, head on out..


[edit: spent a good hour or so today doing the big loop & then the bandshell - they had a sound system set up there today, piping out classical, made for some very chill stands & skids. Wish I could do this for lunch every day.
Anybody work in the area and wants to head out during the week for 2-wheeled lunch, let's do it.]

The first finisher was 34'09". The second place was few seconds behind. It's flat 17 minutes a lap. I thought it was very good. Look forward to hear next weeks' top time.

That would put the first finisher is 71st place out of 77 riders in the most recent CRCA Individual Time Trial, which is also 2 laps - https://www.crca.net/races05/

For correctness it would also put first finisher 17th out of 20 female riders.

dont forget!

monday night. 10pm. 2 laps. Meet at 60st/5av entrance by the elephants in underwear!

I hurt my back at work so i may not be riding, but i will still be there!

who else is coming?

I'll be there and I'm going to make sure noumena9 is there.

I will be there to test out my new wheels.
Wow the back... We will talk about **********?

CEYA!

I'll be there. Feels like an away game.

race tonight

can't make it later tonite, but I am doing laps in about an hour or so.
have fun!

so i hate to do this, especiall this late, but it looks like i wont be making it today

long story...back injuries combined with flu...i was trying to tough it out and make it but i dont think i can

can someone else take over for this week? just making sure everything runs smooth?....last week seemed to run itself so i imagine me not being there isnt a big deal

The race were fun tonight. Too bad more people didn’t show. We had 4 turnout and I was graced with free PowerAde and a smoothie. The race finished with noumena9 mistaking the finish, which let me attack and win it (I defiantly wouldn’t have been able to take him otherwise). So tonight’s race finished myself in first, noumena9 and gnawa finishing together very soon after. So lets try and get some more people out next week.

Vivophobic… PM Ceya- he needs to talk with you.

meh. I'm such an idiot. You guys would have killed me at the end anyway. I attacked because I thought we were almost done. It is so much fun to feel like you're all out of juice and totally beaten down for like 15 minutes and then all of a sudden have enough to attack. The dynamics of these races is really interesting to me.

But to reiterate: it would be more fun with more people. Not that I minded a nice, brisk ride with gnawa (I owe you at least a poweraide, btw) monsterlegs and Ceya, but it would be totally boss to have a 15-20 rider field. Come on -- you know you want to. Everyone should come out to Prospect Park on Thursday. It'll be fun!

(BTW: avoid Atlantic and 4th Ave in Brooklyn. The whole intersection and Atlantic Ave on both sides is one giant oil slick. Believe me -- I know!)

oh, its mad scuzzy alright. but is this a new development? has it gotten worse or something?
gotta cross there 2x on my commutes but havent been home in days.

haha, no way, not me at least - i was done. Can't make it to PP on Thursdays, but noumena9 is right, we'd have a lot of fun with a bigger field. See you all next Monday. Vivophobic, hope you are recovering from the flu.

so last week only 4 people showed up (i myself was in bed with a bad back and the flu)

hopefully we will be able to get some more people out there this week and have ourselves a great race...i know i am planning on being there for sure

so yeah...monday night, 10pm, meet at 5av/60st by the elephants in underwear

if you came out before come out again...if you havent been out before central park is a great spot for a race, especially at nnight when its nice and cool

race is tonight

be there

that means you

yes...YOU!

Goddamned wrong turns. Next week I'll get you.

that was fun. see you guys next week.

dc

i lamed out, fluish and grumpy. next week!

i missed it; my damn QBP order is taking forever... no bike yet...
