Big weekend coming
There’s a lot of local racing going on this weekend, with one of the biggest NYC events happening on Sunday, but let’s look at thing in chronological order first.
On Saturday, there is Round 4 of the 2012 Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup at Prospect Park.
Also on Saturday there’s a CRCA Club race and the Women’s Racing Clinic.
Which brings us to the big one on Sunday—the 39th annual Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic p/b Rockstar Games.
Woo Hoo
It appears that there are not enough Cat 2s or 3s to have their own field at Harlem? Somerville did it.
thirsty third place!
Harlem cost to much for what its worth. I’m boycotting!
Race Entry Fee $48
New Bike after crash $6,000
ER bill after insurance $1200
New uniform $350
New helmet $225
Showing off your road rash to co-workers and Facebook friends
Priceless
A $6,000 race bike? That’s asinine.
True that. Nobody with any sense of style goes into CP riding on less than $8k.
I love the smell of carbon in the mornings.
This guy is now a Cat 3 (For Somerville. These are reasons why a 100+ field of recently upgraded 4s is a very scary thing. Brace yourself for bone-head cornering.

His Somerville (Cat 3) video is just as scary. I didn’t knowso many “race tactics” were going on in the back of the field.
stay at the front and you’ll be fine…chances are, if you can stay there, you’re a good enough bike racer to not cause a shit eating contest
What a tool.
I’d rather ride hard solo to Nyack for coffee.
I think I’d prefer to DNF that contest.
Heat from the wife – Priceless
like your blind grandma on weed..I’ve overlapped your wheel, swerving hard and I don’t care cause I’ve already lost all my teeth and I’ll be dead soon. I ride…and I AM THE C-R-C-A
The strategy of slowing down in corners then accelerating hard to “pop someone off my wheel” is sheer brilliance. Such a display of tactical skill & handling prowess. I wonder if he offers online coaching? Can I download my power files and send to him? What is the optimal power output for accelerating out of corners using that technique?
That’s an awesome “crouching tiger” style of racing.
Crouching tiger to Prospect Park Zoo
Crouching Tiger to Hidden Dumbass.
That move only works for Chow Yun Fat
Mee Heung Low to Vivid Video.
how the fuck did you watch till the 42 min mark to get there. I dig the display and the commentary though. Who are we kidding. We all suck basically.

Foundomination!!
great job Rod getting Power Points results out within minutes after the race…it used to be an hour+ clusterf@#$k.
Objectively speaking, we are all exceptional at riding bikes.
Well, most us.

Rod Millot to Mengoni.
I almost turked my way to a top 30 in that last sprint. Got boxed in though.
Any theories as to why the Harlem 2/3 was extra crashy this year?
‘Cause I wasn’t there to calm everyone down. Any fist fights?
I didn’t catch the wreck that halted the race near the end and resulted in a 3 laps-to-go restart, but I did see the guy take turn 4 wayyyy wide and eat it into the barriers going into the sprint…ouch
It was pretty rough out there. My count was 8 wrecks in the 2/3 field.
….basically because cat 3 is the new sketchy cat 4
…except I’m fairly certain there were a few wrecks in the crash 4s too…everyone’s a critic
It was pretty awful to see. Spare a thought for Misha Chiporukha who got the worst of it.
He’s pretty beat up but spirit is up!! Hurry up and get well dude!!!
Misha just posted on FB that he’ll be ok…lots of stitches and a couple of chipped teeth but no fractures.
Especially how the guys in the back always think the guys in the front don’t know how to race.
NYC bike racing needs far fewer people bitching about other riders’ bike handling and far more saying “You know, I’m no expert bike handler myself. Who can help me get better?”
well said
1:45:01 little bit o’ argy-bargy between mengoni and someone in yellow/blue kit. nice bike handling at speed!

You can see me turking at 1:18.02
You can see Jake Keough turking at 1:47:00
Hay bails must have been left at the farm?
