Welcome to the Tue, 11/14/2010 – 02:00 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.
Now that sicx is done it’s time for the New Year Day’s Century – the race that never was.
I’ve been hearing that there are a couple of guys interested in putting on a Van Cortlandt Park CX race starting next year… it’s all just talk now but it’ll be sweet if it actually pans out, and definitely an easier trip than Staten Island.

VCP would be a sweet venue, but I’ve heard that the idea was floated a few years back and met with a resounding NO from the parks. maybe too much cross country running up there?
VCP would be ideal, plenty of room for a course, easy to get to and a multitude of bars in the immediate vicinity.
