How original. What, did someone just call you that? Go back to cycling school you tourist.
party people, hating is bad...
come to CRCA party and duke it out like Lisban on Marmo on Wishnia on OWS on DA.....
:0)
you, my friend, are a moron. I was kidding, and I enjoyed the other's responses. But, yes, I was really "taught" something here by all of your very cohesive arguments.
Grrr got schooled.
This debate is so 2008.
I agree with all of you.
no, what he meant to say was i liked times square a lot more when it was all x rated theaters, titty bars, kung fu weapons shops and populated by lowlifes.
What he meant was, "can I just say once again how much more I liked cross when less of the good road riders did it and so it seemed like I was better at it."
Cyclocross was invented by roadies so they could continue training in the off-season.

...yeah, and I'm going to price you out of Bushwick, grow cooler facial hair and take your seat at the Espresso bar. Oh, and I'm going to drop your sorry fat tattooed ass come springtime.
how annoying it is that all you roadies have ruined this once fine sport. still, good times today.

Thanks,

Brit Lee!!!
Thanks CJ and Jed. You give good race.
From the Wash Hts, #1 train to S ferry...35-45 min
Ferry to SI, same at least
SI Train to the stop for Wolf's Pond Park...1 hr
3-4 miles from the station to the course...
or something like that...
Good Luck with that!!!
Ride as many races that you qualify each one will be a blast!!!
They probably took the train from the park to the ferry, which is pretty sensible assuming they were competing. I hear the drivers on SI are maniacs.
I googled bicycle directions from south ferry and it looks to be about an hour to the park. So if you ride, it should not take you more than two hours to get home to the heights. Probably less since the trip time on google maps was at an average of 12 mph.
and bringing a floor pump to get exactly 27.94685 psi into my tires beforehand would be nice. but driving sucks too.
After the run-up, you'll have to navigate the Turkey Assault...

I don't remember how long it took to get there last year, but I clearly remember it taking almost 3 hours to get home to the Heights afterwards...
how long does it take to get to the race site via public transportation?
