States starts tonight at 6pm…..come check it out; or even better bring the fixed gear and come play with us. Team Sprints tonight; ITT, Pursuit, Points tommorrow; Match Sprints and Scratch on Sunday.
Hope to see you all there. And to the many folks I’ve seen once or twice at the track, come bring your bikes and play. Saturday starts at noon, lots of time to recover from PP and race at K-Town.

Sounds fun, I haven’t raced track in a few years
schmalz
But I can’t make it
schmalz
Are we loading the Toto?
Andy Shen
give me a sec
schmalz
Oh Lord, I don’t have the energy for this today
schmalz
I may lose it
schmalz
4 miniutes into it
Andy Shen
Alan, we’ll do a banner ad for your events, you know.
schmalz
Linus makes me laugh

haha
Andy Shen
can I go home now?
schmalz
we’ve never called off a chat before
schmalz
Thinking about it, though…
Aaron
You guys are slacking on the hopeful Friday
schmalz
Hey Aaron, Thanks for reading!
Aaron
Half of NYC wakes up early to read that every week!
schmalz
The hopeful, really?
Andy Shen
forgot it was friday
schmalz
Isn’t it "take shots at Champion" week, anyway?
Andy Shen
busy making cartoons
schmalz
we have rez issues on that one
Aaron
Do you believe that Bush’s resting HR is 46? Suppressed by alcohol? No blood circ to the head?
schmalz
How do you know Bush’s resting HR?
Aaron
Umm… we have th same coach.
Andy Shen
He’s 196 pounds!! What a fatty.
schmalz
196 is huge!!
W
My coach is a Jewish carpenter
schmalz
Does your carpenter work cheap?
schmalz
3:16 and it’s getting tough in here
Andy Shen
W, you’re incorrigible! and fat.
Aaron
What’s with the pledge?
schmalz
this chat is murder!
schmalz
Pledge? Otter? Flounder?
Andy Shen
pledge??? you mean the TA thing?
Aaron
Seems like grovelling to me.
schmalz
Does it make me a bad person…
schmalz
If I know nothing about the parks thing?
Aaron
I’m only playing devil’s advocate because…..
Aaron
I never have to ride in the park!
schmalz
Butt
AA
I think the pledge should include a line that says we will remove our jerseys and lay it across any puddles in the road so pedestrians dont get their feet wet. I already do it but i think it might garner good will if all of crca would follow suit
Andy Shen
sign of life!
schmalz
What happens if you don’t sign the pledge?
schmalz
Granted – I didn’t read the pledge
Aaron
Are you now or have you ever been a member of CRCA? We have documents that show you have been a member!
adm
Where is everyone?
Andy Shen
bandit alert!!!
schmalz
Is there a happy hour going on I don’t know about?
schmalz
Bandit, 3 o’clock!
AA
The pledge basically says we love puppies and children and we wont ever use a frame pump on pedestrians and only on triathletes if absolutely necassary.
adm
Funny. This early August lull is killing me.
jbrown
nice comic strip!
schmalz
This is the time of year when people are sick of bike racing
schmalz
Until the "Oh my God, the season is ending!" rush
adm
still beats golf
Aaron
There are only 13 signed up in the 3/4 field at the Doc Reilly race
Jbrown
great time for results
adm
I predict Loudon wins Doc Reilly 3/4 and everyone else falls asleep.
jbrown
when where what? doc ??race
schmalz
What is Doc Reilly?
adm
Aaron – – I’d pick you, but it’s going to end in a sprint and Chris is hard to beat.
schmalz
it sounds like a health tonic from the late 1800’s
adm
doc reilly is this race upstate that is consistently very poorly attended. Not sure why. Looks like a good course.
jbrown
where is this race? it ends in a sprint…you must tell me
Kick people off? Don’t you need people in the first place?
schmalz
Or do you mean the bandits?
jbrown
do the bandits have a harry potter cloak like the pimpernel?
Andy Shen
If I make that comic strip a shirt Jeff will buy one.
Jeff King
I was just making a stupid joke. If you didn’t get it, I want to take it back now. I’m a Bandit, I can do what I want.
schmalz
Shhhh! Don’t piss off Jeff, he’s putting my kids through the McDonald’s drive thru
J King
Dude, I’ll buy anything
adm
It’s not a flat course, but the climb is too far from the finish for it to really be decisive – – just my opinion. I hope you blow it open and prove me wrong.
schmalz
Buy anything? Even tasteful nudes?
Andy Shen
Can I kick Evil out even though he’s not here?
adm
Jeff rode river road climb in about 5:20 on Wednesday (parking lot to parking lot). He’s fast for a fat bandit.
jbrown
what would they taste like?
schmalz
Oooh! Let’s kick Evil!
J King
Evil has been ripping on me via email today. Please kick him off now.
jbrown
5:20 Snap!
schmalz
5:20 holy bandit!
MH
I’m here. But you can kick me out if you want.
adm
Andy is evil too.
schmalz
Andy isn’t evil, you have to be fast to be evil
schmalz
And by fast I mean "around other people" fast
MH
Andy is too evil.
Andy Shen
5:20???
Get out, Evil.
Andy Shen
I go backwards very fast.
Andy Shen
Brochard’s mullet is going to kill me.
adm
I love the photo of Evil Andy stringing it out at the Floyd with the ML boys all around him.
adm
So who’s doing Floyd on Sunday?
MH
Who’s that sobbing in the strip?
schmalz
That is a good picture
Andy Shen
moreau
schmalz
Too bad JJ isn’t in the picture
adm
Wow. The kid can draw.
Anonymous
in that same photo you can see schmalz in the background trying to cough up a lung
schmalz
Trying to hold onto the mighty Shen surge
adm
I think that sounds gross.
Andy Shen
God bless Henoch for being there for those 5 seconds.
Andy Shen
Oooh, that WAS dirty.
schmalz
Ok, I feel dirty now
schmalz
Deliciously dirty
Justin

adm
Ok. Bandit signing off – – see you all tomorrow a.m. if I can get out o’bed.
Good luck tomorrow, Aaron.
Andy Shen
Daddy!
schmalz
Jesus Justin isn’t it 10 pm there?
MH
With that goatee Moreau could be Aaron’s cousin. The individual strands of hair, that took some time.
If you make a t-shirt like that with a picture of Jeff King on it I’ll buy it. Moreau could be Aaron’s cousin.
If you make a t-shirt with a picture of Jeff King on it I’ll buy it. Jeff King is awesome. (I just wrote that to trigger the Google alert that Jeff set up for his name and the word awesome.)
