Welcome to the Wed, 05/13/2009 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

First, a few important reminders:
1. While racing at Floyd Bennett Field is competitive please remember it’s still just a TRAINING SERIES! I heard some disturbing reports that riders were fighting, cursing and even taking their hands off their handlebars to grab other riders during the race. This behavior will not be tolerated at this TRAINING SERIES and riders who act this aggressively are not welcome at our races and should just stay home.
2. Please use the number you received tonight for the entire series.
3. A reminder that if you are a Cat 3 rider and your racing license says your racing age is 39 or younger you MUST race in the Cat. 1-2-3 race. Licenses will be checked at next week’s race.
4. The Tour de Parc criterium in Wantagh, Long Island, is this Sunday, May 17. For more info and to register online go to: http://www.bikereg.com/events/Register.asp?EventID=8137
