Scroll down to the pics of the riders taking off. you can see a guy on a road bike.

well then that guy's a tool and a pu$$y and had no business being there, unless he's filming or something.

Now time for a very important question:
What's the best place near prospect park to get a pizza slice?

hmmm, your best bet is to hit up 7th ave in Park Slope - but I am not sure where the good 'uns are.

There's a pizza spot at 7th ave/9th st.

from the looks of that bulky helmet, that may have been lucas brunelle, neither a tool nor a *****, and most certainly filming.

i'm photographing while brakeless. dont get in my way ****ers, i may run into for the fun of it if you do!

That's Lucas who's an obvious exception (everybody loves his videos, why wouldn't someone want him riding/filming monster track?).

I'm sure if you brought a road bike and had no intention of winning/placing the organizers wouldn't give you too much grief, but I doubt there are more than two people who are going to do that.

Riding with a brake? Maybe more.

If you wanna ride with a brake or with a road bike or with anything other than a brakeless fixie, work a checkpoint. Otherwise, I'll door you with someone else's car. And I don't think you want that.

dont let s9 scare you, he is not even racing this weekend.

if you really want to (or have to) ride braked/geared, you should show up pay the fee and wait 5 or 10 minutes after the start then go, you'll probably catch up to some of the slower (probably be around the middle by the finish line) racers and you won't miss any of the checkpoints. otherwise there will be more alleycats in new york later this year.

lets not ruin this once a year race by encouraging brakes and gears, that would defeat the whole purpose of monstertrack and it becomes just another race. I say just take the brakes off and take it easy or wait till the next race in NYC.

+1. brakeless geared road bikes are the way to go! its the best compromise of both worlds. take off those brakes and good luck.

I'm in Bed Stuy. I have a fold out couch that can probably fit two and plenty of floor space. I work Friday and will probably head straight to Rockstar after I finish up. I any o ya'll need a bed and aren't askared of my hood PM me BEFORE Thursday night and let me know.

don't you EVER forget my underscore, mother****er. Do you know what that underscore represents? It represents YOU, lying on the ground, gasping desperately for air, having made a feeble, futile attempt to catch me. Never forget that. Don't EVER forget my underscore!

can we clear this up, for us clueless out of towners...

the bar for friday's meetup... it's called Rocky's, Rockstar, Capones, or all three?

Rockstar Bar / Rocky's. Capone's is a different place, and it's not happening there.

Any particular time? And Goldsprints are going on there as well?

8ish friday. A ride leaves from Manhattan (near the W'burg bridge) at 7:45

I will be at this ****. thank god for photographers that think track bikes are a good prop for a motorola ad. they are paying my way up and my drinking money!!!

I'm ready; let's go.

I was just wondering if the events take place at a bar what do you do if you are under 21, and lack a faker?

Grow up...

oh and guess you gotta stay home and watch tv... NYC isn't a very 21- place... sorry... rockstar MIGHT let you in but I doubt it.

No worries, the race is def for all ages.

hey man it's all good, I only ask becuase i am coming to photograph and if i can't get into the bars then that would be a bummer.
Do they card at the door in nyc?
