Welcome to the Tue, 08/08/2011 – 06:00 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.
Any ideas what team Pate will wind up on?

Brian Gabele did a sub-5min on Alpine
Bullshit, from the real base or from the main roadway?
From the marina, I posted the CRCA results from a few years ago in which Guzman did a 5:07 and mentioned that someone had done in the 4:50s in a previous tt there (but I could not locate that result). I do now recall it was Gabel.

Can’t locate the previous one held either earlier that year or the previous year where Gabele did something like 4:55.

At the CRCA Alpine HIll Climb, Brian Gabele of Luzzo’s clocked the best time with a 4:56, followed closely by Chris Chaput of Adler. Ellen Moses of Comedy Central was the fastest woman. Haluk Sarci of Sotheby’s was the 40+ winner. Al Blanchard of Westwood was tops in the 50+. Brian Dobes of Westwood took the cat 4 race, and Ryan Johnson was first in the cat 5s. Christophe Jammet beat Andy Shen by one second in the race for spite. Results are here.
4:00 from the newly repaved days…just to give you an idea of how fast it will be once TA/CRCA get funds raised for PIPC to repave in late fall…
Yes the fastest ever ascent up the river road hill was done by someone on luzzo’s
