Now that Mother Nature has tried to put a snow filled pillow over the face of the bike racing season, we might forget that just two days ago, there was bike racing.
In Prospect Park on Saturday, John Loehner of Empire won the 123 race just ahead of the stampeding pack.
The jersey holder for the KOM is Edwin Morel of Toga and the sprint jersey belongs to Tadeusz Marszalek of Sommerville Sports. In the Cat 4 race, Sheldon Warner of BVF won; with the KOM going to Danny Iona, also of BVF; and the sprint jersey went to Benjamin Woodbury of guess who? Yes! BVF! Do they allow any other teams other than BVF in the Cat 4 races? In the Cat 5 race John Nowoslawski of the Polish Plumbers wins the race and also sits there and tempts me with his team name, but I am too classy to stoop to that level of comedy.
If our comments are to be believed, at the Spring Series race in Central park, Jermaine Burrows of WS United/Sheepshead Cycle won the 123 race showing some good early season form after being in the 123 break at Prospect the day before. Neil Bezdek of Kissena is rumored to have been 2nd, all other placing are up for discussion.
The Bethel race was cancelled.
And on a special note, in Saturday’s Omloop Het Whatever Newspaper Owns It Now (previously known as Ghent Ghent) we had a SSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!

first!
of making sure you are the first one to comment
bacon is for closers
Fourth!
is that they’re really electricians.
Well, then they are electricity plumbers!
I wish I was a plumber…
“There are three kinds of pipe. There’s aluminum, which is garbage. There’s bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then, there’s copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money.”
Polish plumbers do it under the sink until it hertz
Is that what they were talking about in the bunch? How, that converation would make a guy want to get his ten races in for a fast upgrade… At least, “HOLJA FUGGINLINE’ is more exhilerating.
I thought Polish Plumbers are those who buff and polish the pipes!
next weekend should be a mess
warm temps and lots of salt/melting snow.
It’s 10:04 AM on Monday, we’re staring down the barrel of another week and you dare to invoke next weekend already.
Ye Gods, man, Ye Gods!!
In another news, it’s nice to have some racing to mull over.
Why is he grabbing his nipples?
Is Empire the ‘Lactating Mother’ of all bike teams?
from Moonstruck? Was the dad in the movie not a plumber?
Yes, Cosmo – a Brooklyn plumber. Yes, tell him what he won——
so who showed up to race in central park on sunday?
i heard they combined fields due to low turnout. (surprise!)
guys who like to race bikes
is that empire guy adjusting his “bro?”
If Adler rode a smart race?
They are so 2006-07. These guys are all 2s now and should get some respect. BTW – I am Def not on Adler…
peppo won the first sprint at prospect. seems pretty smart to me.
so… they ran a smart race, then?
if i recall correctly, peppo was the only adler guy racing on saturday.
Not the most friendly of Adlers but he will be a 2 soon and a strong climber. He was racing Pro1-3s at Catskills which was no joke and also at Unionvale where he was 5th (some strong dudes in both races). Once he and Slokar upgrade the whole team for the most part will be 2s (unless that Mo guy, Kansas, Tron and Kim still race 3s).
does that make it not smart?
comment below was to 13:54
Yay! Personal attacks!! Let it snow
i don’t see any personal attacks
“Not the most friendly” – funny how he is always prefaced this way. Maybe he’s just shy.
its a euphemism
Semantics Smack Down! Kick It!
we worry whether or not if someone is friendly? I’m more concerned if whether or not he’s going to put me into the bushes.
Friendly?
What is this? a knitting circle?
It could be…
I know Thor smashed Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Hunt looked good yesterday but I really think Heinrich Haussler is going to get a win or podium at one of the big Belgian races this April. He’s got dreamier eyes than Thor, anyway.

Was in the break at KBK all day also, you could watch him unravel with about 10 k to go.
Dude looks like a lady.
Great video for a snowy day:
2nd Stage of Tour du Haut Var – final minutes
Sick, sick, sick. Fast forward to 7min if you are short on time.

I’m worried someone won’t be friendly to me in the bushes.
Wait. Wrong message board. Moving on………
re (great video)
I’m tired just watching that. Why can’t Phil and Paul get that excited? And he does the King Arthur victory salute, sword waving. Amazing.
phil tends to forget what race he’s announcing, and then to recover, in a foggy but charming way starts his usual trip down memory lane, such as recounting paul eating a brie and ham sandwich on fresh baguette while descending the other side of l ‘alpe in 1964…
why are so many guys in that video going ape shit?
He’s not shy, just sensitive. In the off-season he writes poetry and trains seeing-eye dogs for the blind.
God bless you, Kyle Peppo.
haha so who is the most friendly of adlers then?
That’s nothing. Schmalz is still breast-feeding a few of those koalas from the Australian wildfires. He’s a saint.
loehner carries a stethoscope at all times, in case you go into cardiac arrest while he’s kicking your ass. it was chaffing him.
anywhere?
