2011 Memorable moments

Wed, 12/28/2011 - 12:31pm by schmalz

I used to think that end of year lists were something that only lazy writers did. You pick a topic, figure out how many listings you want and pow! A list emerges. But I've come to change my thinking about end of year lists, they are actually quite difficult, as they require that you remember things that happened over the past year (remembering is not my forte—I'm mostly eye candy around here).

So my idea is to enlist the help of the internet and compile a list of the most memorable New York cycling moments of 2011. Post your moments in the comments below and the most "starred" will get on the list. (Yes, you can star comments on the site, but you have to be signed in—this isn't a campaign to get more users either, we've stopped caring about that, we will always be a poor bike site and we've come to grips with that—so sign in and hit the star. You don't need to be signed in to leave a comment.) And finally, I would suggest you try to be witty and not too vicious, as I am trying to entertain myself here.

You are insane if you think a protour cyclist is getting on his trainer, popping in a video, and doing a 45 minute workout based solely in cadence and perceived exertion.

This was the year that Foundation carried the drum for legalized doping.

Wasn't the winner/Foundation team rider and CRCA champ denied entry into the US within the past 2 years due to the drugs he was importing with him? Was Lisbon not kicked off of Axa/Stan's No-Tubes due to funky blood values and/or an inability to guarantee clean racing? Despite all of this, all the available drugs in the world will not help Inson ride in a straight line.

Foundation* = Dope Nation
