Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

From: south side, you got a problem with that?
The Godfather

NYC

Here is the deal:
see the flyer at https://www.trackstarnyc.com/web2/blog/

two o'clock to register at columbus park (off worth near hogan alley). don't be late, cuz this is a timed race, and IT WILL start on time. three-person teams. $20 per team to race. come up with a cool name, will ya? but don't worry about not having a team, as their will be plenty of people there looking for teammates.

get your hit assignment from the don. get to each checkpoint together, get a death certificate. bring the DC back to the don (all three of you) and get your next assignment. CP's close at 5pm. be back at the don by 5:30 (or be a DNF) and count your death certs. most DC's wins, with a tie going to the better time.

i'll give out moer info later, including some of the CP's.

My track bike is being painted and my road bike needs an overhaul + new wheels so I won't be racing. I could probably do a CP however, so let me know.

La cosa Nostrand. HAH!! That's too much.

Anyone wanna be on a medium-fast/probably-too-cautious rider's team? If I get committed to a team, than I'll have to show up. (please, no R1 jokes. seriously...)

If anyone needs a teammate I am available. I am kinda slow and suck at navigating. So if anyone is out there send me a pm. I should clear my pm's because i know there will be people out there looking for my skills

Not GodFather related but what about "Bada Bing" for a team name

You gotta work anyways... so just use your company 'resources'... which will probably be better than the 'babes' Msngr teams us up with.
