definately the best time I've had so far in the big city.
Next time I'll learn to be more careful about where I'm throwing my u-lock.

it was awsome meeting ya'll.
maybe I'll turn out at prospect park and get my ass beat twice in one week.

tim

its that time again...calling everyone out to kick my ass in the central park race

monday night, 10pm, 60st/5av by the elephants, 2 laps

unfortunately ill have to skip out on the post race jamba juice to help a friend pack for a move tuesday

see you all there

lots of fun. you should come out!

so i was talking to someone about these races and someone commented to me that they had never been, but one of the reasons they like the prospect races is because things change up...single races, team races, etc

so...how many people usually show up the the prospect races?...i would love to add more variety to the central park races, but i dont think we have the turnout...average of 7 riders so far

on the upside we had the best turnout ever this past moday with 9 riders plus one that showed up after we already started (sorry bout that!)...also had the fastest finish we have had

so yeah...people shoudl come out next moday

you can't get better than central park ..period. show up and find out.

S/F,
CEYA!

i think we should let prospect park have the team relays and what not. we should just add more laps at central park, thats all!

good stuffs

Are we still doing Kissena tomorrow (Aug 6th) ? If we are let me know tonight. You guys name the time but not too late,late being 3pm . 12pm -3pm is cool.

Classes will go in tactics and drills. I hope it is not like last time, nobody showed except fixedfiend.
S/F,
CEYA!

Sorry Ceya, in Pittsburgh this weekend. Which sucks cause I'm dying to get out to the track. Have fun though. Adios.

I expect to be there about 10-11am on my own. I plan on working out for a couple of hours. Hopefully, I'll see you there, Ceya.

It would be good to meet.

200th street isnt Manhattan!

Does anyone have info on the Kissena Track? I grew up not far from there and used to rip around the track on my Raliegh Chopper (which wasn't vintage at the time, it was brand new). - Enough aging myself, anyway...
It was always open and anyone could get on the track and ride, except when there were "official" races...is it still the same, or are there certain hours/days/etc..
Are there rules as far as racing? When I raced road many moons ago, I had to get a CAT4 (??I think??) license, then advanced to a 3 (or other way around?)
Thanks in advance.

i've a plan to show up at kissena between 12.00 and 13.00. i hope it works out! :)

djbowen1...

how is 200th st not manhattan?...just curious...manhattan goes up to 220th st

Ceya!

I agree that the CP race is nice, but if we had 20 bikes show like we have had in PP that would be really cool too. (Also CP would be nicer if it was 5 blocks from my house like PP is. :) )

yeah...manhattan does actually go up to 230 if yo count marble hill, which is technically still manhattan even though its on the bronx side of the harlem river...i should have said the ISLAND part of manhattan goes up to 220 st

you missed some fun and classes for those who didn't show. John Campo did a good job today. Saturdays guys he will be there.

CEYA!

Please explain.

we racing tonight?

sorry to everyone that i didnt show up tonight...something about having worked 40 of the last 56 hours on 3 hours sleep made a race (biking home for that matter) seem like a bad idea

as for marble hill being part of manhattan it goes lke this...marble hill used to be the top tip of manhattan, where the hudson and harlem rivers and a creek all met...in 1895 they built the harlem river ship canal effectively making marble hill its own island, technically part of manhattan still...about 20 years later the creek was filled connecting the island to the mainland bronx...despite that it has always technically been part of manhattan

hope the race went well tonight...i need sleep

How'd it go last night? Work went late and when I looked for y'all at jamba you were out. I'm pissed I missed it.

is there a race monday night?

yeah, i think there's a race. i'm coming, and bringing a ct friend.
