Why did CRCA feel that in the Matt Richards they had to ID “Schmalz”
Schmalz [Pacifico-Hincapie Sportswear racer] says it’s a stretch, but I think I can do it.
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know the Man/Myth/Legend? At this point Schmalz is like Pele or Madonna. Or at least, Seal.

I’d say I’m more of a “cher” actually

Doesn’t making it imply some sort of monetary compensation?

charo’s been making that argument since her days on “the love boat,” but it hasn’t quite panned out for her…
at least you’ve got your own cool training blog and don’t have to wear fruit basket on your head.

Isn’t that entire program a pyramid scheme? I heard Alex Ostroy has disappeared and was last seen boarding a plane with two cloth duffle bags adorned with dollar signs.

What does “The #1 ranked cat 4 in the state” mean?

I think it means exactly that. He’s the best sandbagger in the Empire State.

Is it actually possible to be the #1 ranked 4 without accumulating enough points to upgrade? If so, then maybe we should withold the trash talk.
Richards is getting blasted for being a sandbagger and he hasn’t even raced in ’09 yet. I aspire to be called a sandbagger. I’d wear it as a badge of honor – get a wristband, put it on my kit, tattoo it on my cat.

Look at his results. It’s not like he is winning every race. He has raced in some big races and those results are wieghted pretty high. It looks like Battenkill was his only top 5. Give the guy a break and a pat on the back. Congrat’s on the ranking Rich.

its the annual hipster d-bag criterium! i love how brakeless is a requirement. red hook is going to be extra-douchey that night!
pays better then any silly rr race you’ve entered in your life…
it’s prehaps too dangerous to mix people running brakes and people running brakeless in a tight crit race. think about it.

anyone riding a track bike on the street is a douchebag, i don’t think being a hipster enters into it
so anyone who rides their track bike on the street to the kissena velodrome to race is a d-bag?
you should ride your road bike to kissena and strap the track bike to your back
or bring it in your Lexus with the carbon wheels tucked safely into their wheel bags.
Sounds dangerous
they made it brakeless to keep the pussies out.
I see they weren’t able to secure MENSA as a sponsor.
Mensa provides a forum for intellectual exchange among members. Kind of like NYvelocity.
your an idiot.
Hipsters is like the A/V Club throwing down with Dungeons and Dragons geeks….
And Richards is a sandbagger….
Richards will win the Red Hook Crit.
He must be an international traveler. CJIA apparently means Central Japan Internation Airport.
