KOM in prospect park???
KOH
mix things up a lil more. great idea charlie, thanks L&C and cycles gladiator
like park racers need to be mixed up more
GPS
all so you can dress up in even more colorful tights!
I’m confused, does the Green jersey go to the guy who crashes out the field 400m from the sprint line?
Sprinters will get paid twice. For winning races and for winning sprints.
That’s awesome. Great work, Charlie & sponsors!
How the F are they going to determine who the best climber is when there aren’t any climbs around?
I guess they give it to the skinniest guy in the top 10.
“How the F are they going …”
um, you get points for getting to the top of the hill in pp first, genius.
Does the final sprint count for the sprint jersey?
Does it matter? You aren’t going to win either the jersey or the sprint.
What about a Most Courageous Jersey, for anyone who drops a deuce in the public toilet.
Or a “Competitive Eating Champ” for the guy who can steal and eat a rack of ribs off of someone’s BBQ and still finish with the pack.
I will get a most courageous jersey every race I go to in Prospect.
to 14:22. How do you know that? I actually expect to challenge for them in the 1/2s. That is why I asked.
can’t we all get a medal just for participating?
waahhhhhhh! i’m entitled to one! wahhhhh!
I’m just hoping to get TV time for my sponsor.
As a lowly Cat 4 who shows up for every one of the PP races, I for one welcome any new addition that might add some variety to the gerbil-wheel laps.
And while I’m feeling magnanimous, let me say that I’m happy to see that while everything else is going to sh*t (economy, jobs, real estate, cost of living, etc. etc.), I’m glad that some folks are willing to invest more time and money in NYC bike racing. It would be just as easy for the promoters to say, “Times are tough, we’re cutting back, we’re not going to try for more sponsors, etc.”. But aside from a small reg fee increase, what I’m seeing is pretty much just the opposite. So a sincere thanks to the organizers and sponsors.
And to the a**holes who just come here to bitch, sarcastic or not, piss off.
That’s all. I feel much better now.
lowly cat. 4 is being redundant.
Come on – go find another website to disgrace with your generous spirit and pathetic grateful attitude. These sentiments clearly have no place here.
Please reserve this space for cynical, bitter, un(der)employed, anti-social losers who have nothing better to do with their lonely lives than to ride their bikes 12-25hrs / week, lust creepily after every (near)female form that appears on this site and berate everyone here with their anonymously brazen attacks.
what kind of cup is the cadence cup? is it a mug? a stein? a recycled paper cup like bank of amerillwide gives to its employees (and tells them to wash it and keep it for regular use)?
would be awesome
I always thought the site was a Cat 4 sandbagger indentification device.
indentification device = smth that automatically tabs for you while typing
Or maybe an empty 40oz filled with urine found in the PP men’s room?
