Location:
Governors Island, NY
On Sunday, July 12, a bicycle race will take place on historic Governors Island for the first time. Governors Island, in the heart of New York Harbor, is only 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, and even closer to Brooklyn. The inaugural Governors Island Gran Prix will feature only one race – a Pro/Category 1-2-3 event. One race. One hour. One hundred riders. The riders will compete on a 1.4 mile, criterium style course through the streets of Governors Island.
the top 10 racers get a free beer (Piraat- we don’t mess around…) at the TDF Party!
one race, one hour, 35 riders…
where are all the 1/2’s racing Sunday??
Union Vale = 10 riders pre-reg’d
New Britain = 5 riders pre-reg’d
Gov Island = 35 riders pre-reg’d
vacation maybe?
isn’t there a prospect park race also? or is that saturday?
PP is saturday. CRCA is saturday.
PRE-REG ONLY! Don’t forget
11AM is an all day killer for a 1 hour race…
reg closes saturday ….
most will register after the morning race.
Registration for New Britain is terrible. Did they get rid of the zillion 100 primes or something?
Next year there will be alot less races in this region. Registration is down big time for the mid season races and 2nd tier races. Unionvale is a fantastic even, one of the best courses and only 1.5 hours from NYC. Prereg only and the numbers are terrible. Maybe its the mid season burnout or just racing slowing down. So many guys who raced in 06-07 are out of racing.
I happen to think that races are more crowsded then ever maybe not for your CAT 4 AND 5 RACES but 123 and 3 races I have done are full full full.
Are you drunk? cat 4 races are usually the first to fill, and 1,2,3 sell outs are few and far between.
Everybody’s out of work and broke?
Everyone has been racing their power meters for three years.
Just get out there and have fun!
421 as of 11:35pm; me thinks Pawling Cycle & Sport is jumping for joy.
