Latest FBF info
The concept for this page is simple, we will let you know whether the race will be happening. Charlie will text us if the status changes, and then we will post the change on this page in the comments section. This should go without saying but, DO NOT TRUST A POSTING FROM ANYONE EXCEPT A SIGNED IN MEMBER OF THE NYVC STAFF, i.e. myself, Andy, Aaron or Alex. FBF is a blood sport and I’m sure that some teams would even stoop to trickery in order to keep their competition at home, so check the log in names.
The latest from Charlie:
Tonight’s race is a go!
No rain in the forecast, temps in the low 80’s – this could be the best night of racing we’ve had in….ummmm…years?
Come on out for some fast racing just in time for this weekend’s big NJ crits!
Hope to see everybody tonight for a great night of SAFE racing!

what’s the wind report? can nyvc set up a live weather cam with a wind gauge for FBF?
We set one up and the wind has been crying “Mary”…
we will let you know weather, and if the race will be happening
which means the traffic lights will all turn up blue on flatbush
Is that because of cross town traffic?
Finally!

Little baby jesus heard my prayers. I believe this elevates FBF to Classic status.
I would say
does that mean a non hazmat bathroom?
Amazing! Winner buys beers & BBQ for everyone.
Ribs – the perfect recovery food.
I quickly read it and thought why is there already a “Floyd Benefit Fund”? Dugh, Floyd Bennett Field
Schmalz, does this mean you have to come up with a new larger sized rodent to compare your weight to?
I might have to bounce up to marsupials.
Jordan Zephyr and some Mtn Khakis will be there!!!!
think it doesn’t start til june 1
That’s next Tuesday
Oh please please please let Schmalz be in yellow jersey when Pogues play Floyd Bennett
Um, that might be the Fairytale of New York?
Can everybody go slow, its my first FBF of the season.
you got it! (as if I have any other speed)
I must break you
it’s “i will break you”

Floyd Landis Field
can we have have live feed, text, video streaming for FBF already!!!!
This site needs a little more Liz Hatch, Sophie Van Vliet, or Elisa Basso juice.
rumour of schmalz off the front in a 2 man break w/ a teammate
More like a one and a half man break (I was the half), we were joined by two others, and I ended up second to Paul Carbonara of Axis.
