The concept for this page is simple, we will let you know whether the race will be happening. Charlie will text us if the status changes, and then we will post the change on this page in the comments section. This should go without saying but, DO NOT TRUST A POSTING FROM ANYONE EXCEPT A SIGNED IN MEMBER OF THE NYVC STAFF, i.e. myself, Andy, Aaron or Alex. FBF is a blood sport and I'm sure that some teams would even stoop to trickery in order to keep their competition at home, so check the log in names.

Ok, let's get a few ground rules out of the way before we, me being the author and you being the kind reader, enjoy this article together.

Save Your FBF Numbers!!!
I forgot to make the announcemnet last night that you use the SAME NUMBER EVERY WEEK at FBF so save your number from last night! Your number says "Floyd Bennett" on it to make it even easier for you. Using the same number every week makes resgistration go a lot faster for you and us.
Thanks guys!

be a man, go drinking instead. you'll feel better, and support the economy to boot. win-win.
now i really can't decide what to do. ride the 15 miles there and risk the downpour or skip and risk being pissed if/when nothing happens.
Go right on Ocean Avenue after you come down Flatbush between P Park and the Botanic Garden. Go way down Ocean, then left on Avenues S, R or T to Gerritsen. Right on Gerritsen to Ave. U. Left on U takes you back to Flatbush at King's Plaza. If you look at a map there are a couple more zigs and zags from U to Flatbush if you want to avoid a couple more blocks of Flatbush.
Just heard from Charlie and he says the race is on.
Thunder in Brooklyn! Charlie has bad weather luck. Time to sacrifice a Cat 5. in a volcano!!!!
I agree, why drive? Thanks to the traffic on the Belt, you can get there just as fast, if not faster, by biking. Brian, you need not take your life into your hands on Flatbush. There are ways around Flatbush. I'll try to dig up the directions for you.
Tweet! Tweet! awesome
http://twitter.com/nyvelocity
at about 4:45 and that gives me plenty of time to cross two bodies of water, navigate the streets of lower Manhattan and take my life into my hands on Flatbush Ave.
If anyone sees a smushed Kingpin rider that'll be me.
we could tweet status also
No twitter
Is there a Twitter page for Charlie or Kissena or the FBF series that he posts status?
If I coming from Philadelphia, PA, should I take I-95 or the GSP? When should I leave?
what time do you have to leave ft. lee to make it on time?
and ride out, greenway to Bklyn Bridge to Flathbush to Race Domination...Reverse and repeat....
12:22, leaving midtown by 5:15-5:30 is more than enough time to bike there. Why drive?
Model airplane practice is ON for tonight too
I do battery park tunnel also, you get on the belt and pray that the traffic is sparse.
FDR South - Battery Prrk Tunnel - under the Verazzano and keep going. Traffic will be nasty any which way.
but then again, i don't drive
Hello All -
Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated:
From midtown Manhattan on the east side, what’s the best driving route to FBF for someone who can’t skip out of work until 5:00-5:30pm?
It's a self-described "first jerk comment".
rough morning schmalz?
of a comment, was actually slightly humorous and true. so sensitive!!
Feel free to contribute a more accurate phrase, unlike say, just making a jerky comment.
'the race is still underway'? I do not think this means what you think it means.
Race still underway, Charlie will text when he arrives at FBF between 4 and 4:30
this page should only be for some1 who is a member is that way no foolin around
nice concept for this page
The FBF race tonight is on
