After watching a Paris Roubaix where so many of my favorites were taken out by the Roubaix Sniper, I find it hard to rally this morning and post results for the weekend’s races—a notion compounded by the fact that there’s precious little binary evidence of the past two day’s racing.
At the race with a name and location that serves to test my restraint, the Johnny Cakes Spring Series in Coxsackie, NY, Justin Lindine of bikereg.com is reported to have won with Roger Aspholm of Westwood Velo finishing second, securing the overall victory. In the other race that I’m supposing would lettered “b”, Toga, FGX and Kingpin all had racers placing in the top five, but the win went to James Stevens, who I’m sure races for a team of some sort, just not one that I am currently aware of.
The results and photos for the Chris Hinds Memorial Crit are said to be coming today on the site known as bikereg.
The Spring Series Race is clouded in internet mystery, yielding no facts nor rumors about the outcome.

Excuse me, but none of those guys look Puerto Rican.
Few would do any work, but 30 guys thought they were Robbie McEwen at the end. All the guys sprinting from the back of the field at Cat’s Paw caused 2 independent crashes at the same time!
that’s the problem with a 4 lap CP race. tough for the get away stay away guys, and plenty of strong legs at the end.
on AVD actually having a time trial this weekend?
Who was responsible for ripping them during the race? That was awful.

Be careful, Mr 09:49. Just the other day (9 Apr), an anonymous writer (Mr 08:34) was quite aggrieved that someone else made a facetious micturation reference. He proclaimed that this (a facetious micturation reference) was his territory, called the poster on it, and was awarded a posthumous Comment of the Day by Schmalz on 10 Apr.
Facetious micturation debate: https://nyvelocity.com/content/2009/topic-thu-04092009 (search: “comment stealer”)
Posthumous COTD award: https://nyvelocity.com/content/2009/topic-fri-04102009 (search: “Comment of the day”)
To my mind, this precedent was a fascinating turn of events, and thus begins a new chapter in the evolution of NYVeloCity, where aggrieved anonymous posters may become more aggressive in asserting their right to safe-guard the domain of previously unattributed posts. I was, as you might expect, giddy at the possibilities and enjoyed the long weekend doing some exciting first-source research.
I mention this to you due to that fact that my research effort included some exhaustive cross-indexing of various comments by “comment type.” My research suggests, and I would argue that, Pseudo-Latino jokes remain the prior domain of an anonymous poster from 26 Jul 2008. In a thread discussing the Dominican Republic (DR), and racers or nationals therein, and the efficacy of attending such races when invited by the DR Cycling Federation, as well as the rights and responsibilities of accepting that invitation (and the requisite fines, punishments and/or sanctions for accepting the invitation but subsequently not attending without prior notice), an anonymous poster from 26 Jul 2008 added this gem:
“By: Wheelsucker
Sat, 07/26/2008 – 00:00 ***
This DR stereotyping is total bullsh*t. Those of you posting here in ignorance need a clue. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any lower. I mean, how else are you going to clear acres of underbrush? By hand? C’mon, get real. I’ve had my DR Wood Chipper since the 2005 Tour. Self-feeds 90% of material. 30 ft lbs of torque. Chips branches up to 5-1/2″ thick. Best purchase I ever made.”
(Original source: https://nyvelocity.com/content/race-results/2008/hangover-5272008)
So while you are free to make Pseudo-Latino facetious references at your leisure, be forewarned that a new precedent exists wherein you may get a stern rebuke from the author above, especially if any of your Pseudo-Latino facetiousness is ever worthy enough to be recognized by Mr Schmalz’ illustrious COTD accreditation.
*** Mr Shen, please. What time was this posted, Sir? All the times read “00:00”. More care in handling archived threads, Sir, as I have implored you many a time!
just goes to show that even psychopaths are out of work, too.
It only seems like the back of the field because everyone else has gone by when you see the crashers lying on the ground. The guy who crossed his front wheel with my back wheel was nowhere near the back of the pack.
dying, thank you, brother historicus
it’s not the sprinting that’s the problem… it’s the lack of concentration, the swerving, the cursing, the holdja line dickishness that started all the way back at horseshit alley and continued until the finish.
That is a retarded place for a time trial. Out and back makes it doubly so.
that’s scary. yikes.
better shot at monkeys flying out of my ass than a TT happening there this weekend.
out and back could be dangerous because of the speeds descending, the possibility of a collision is high… don’t want to even mention the fact that we’ll probably need to allow other use of the road (like the NYCC Sunday ride.) what’s worst is AVD lack of clarity about the event, one day licenses? women’s field?
The proposed TT course for saturday is pure stupidity. Way too dangerous. They should just do a hill climb TT starting at the parking lot and ending at the police station.
would be cool.
A time trial without timely results is like a tree falling in the forest with no one there to see it.
Aero bars? Update your insurance policies.
Night time messenger bike crit makes more sense.
Or it is like NYVC site w/out race pictures on Monday!
the course does not go up and down police station hill. the turnaround is at the bottom. so, what’s so dangerous? it could be a pretty cool course if people stopped whining so much. assuming the rockslide is clear, the road can’t be any worse than the TT at Fitchburg.
The rock slide is clear. But there are myriad issues with the course. The road is very narrow to have guys going in both directions and trying the pass. It starts out on a precipitous descent that very rough. In sections it’s very bumpy, very fast, and only boulders to prevent a serious fall. It’s an ill thought out proposal. It might well be passable as a road bike TT, but in aero bars someone stands to get hurt. No matter what, an out and back is going to make passing difficult.
Good idea…let’s hurtle multiple racers at each other at high speeds on a sometimes broken road with no guard rails and steep drops. Have fun with that…
So don’t race it. No one is forcing you to. Bunch of ingrates…
Last check it’s part of a series, so it’s likely important to some guys in that context.
To 13:09 – Good idea. That’s why only 22 people are signed up (and 15 of them are cat 5).
you would race an event that you felt was ill-conceived and dangerous because you wanted to preserve your position in the overall spring series standings.
No. I think that’s the point of the ‘whining.’
I had to go to work this morning, so I can confirm it’s Monday.
i’m tired of being tired.

Despite bike reg showing only 22 registrants, the number is likely quite a bit higher due to guys being pre-registered for the whole series.
Why haven’t they announced this team and showcased the kits and the fine black and white design work?

Does Hincapie have bad luck or is he just NOT THAT good…and past his prime.
in points races, riders get lapped, no? so why cant people ride hard from the gun, and get some sledgehammer selection going on???
put some welly into it, eh?
BTW, go bqck to P-R, Boonen hammering the shit outta those pretenders that they all start crasdhes for no other reason that they are rolling their eys backards with effort and dust, then Pozzo Pazzo tries in vain. Diya see his rpm? way to small a geqr for cobbles! Boonen was grinding at like 80rpm perfect for cobbles, while Pozzo Pazzo was rding real pretty like…
As one legend once said, “not fn good enough!”
In RR TT, ride early with less P3 Wannabees, and crush them roads, fer chrst sakes, bunch of hot oil wet warm pussies
You could feel boonen going faster than Popo…you could see it on the TV, noticeably faster….and he was pulling out 10 seconds a mile on him…..flecha was the only one that seemed like he could have hanged.
Rapha.cc – got to admit – beautiful website
i agree – that is a pretty cool website.
Rather than ask why Peppo’s wheels were mismatched, ask yourself why yours aren’t. The guy won. Something is working in his favor.
Ah but you must admit it is smart….if you like that jersey — you can go get one at the store….same one, isn’t that the essence of marketing. You must admit better than this scenario
“Hey sick jersey man — where do I get one of those white Pacifico Jersies Man…I want to put it in my drawer next to my Discovery jersey.”
“Oh this is my team man….but I think the over stock will be on Nashbar.com soon…next to the Mickey Mouse jersies”
just as a general rule….an all black kit just says ‘i cant design my way out of a paperbag’.
Example: DKNY (not a great looking kit either!)
team ralpha would be better served with using the pastel stuff.
there was no design. they took rapha clothes and slapped a CRCA logo on the shoulders. then they bought funny helmets.
TT Vegan always said, “I don’t believe in God, but I’m afraid of him.”
Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is the Ralpha.
If the Raphlerati wear officially licensed Klingon battle helmets, what is this Adler guy wearing, a bitchin’ skate helmet circa ’84?

This was actually their first design choice:
http://www.primalwear.com/p-390-rolling-stones-jean-jacket-jersey.aspx
but it didn’t go with their spaceman helmets
Yeah – not only are they space man helmets — they are spray painted….not very raphaesque
Dont be a “flecha”
Actually it’s a track helmet. Supposedly super aero. Chris Hoy uses one. The point of using it on the road?
To look like a guy who doesn’t give a shit about spending money on cool shit. I like it. Keep wearing your 2004 Giro Craphat.
Nice Rapha came along so the Adler haters have another team they wish they could be on
hahahah ….and dont be a flecha
Thumbs down on hand painted helmets. If I’m not mistaken, if you paint a cycling helmet, it voids the warranty and the companies responsibility to the user of protection. Therefore, you could pull up to a race and possibly be prevented to ride if it gets noticed!

I wonder if they can do my team’s kits for next year…
Queue JFT
PR sucked. We were facing an amazing ending with the true cream of the crop riders (save Van Summeren). Two top sprinters in Boonen and Thor and three great one day riders in Flecha (in the mix late in every PR), Pozzato, and Hoste, and one of them had a teammate. Only Thor I think was comfortable with the group as is and would have been happy to go with them into the velodrome. The rest would have had to drop Boonen and Thor. I thought when Flecha and VS went that that could work. Hoste and VS would have just had to attack and attack. I don’t think Pipo was really shadowing Boonen in this one, he would have countered in hopes of dislodging the two sprinters. But alas, everyone gets some Flanderian to throw oil down in front of them leaving Tommy to hammer home the victor.
Favorite kits are DKNY and Rapha. You can wear these anytime and you dont look like some wannabe racer in a pastel kit that will be thrown out in a year out of pure disgust. I want on Rapha just for the kit.
Black kits in the summer…Schweddy Balls.
Not in agreement. Boonen, while a top sprinter, is also the ultimate classics rider in built and ability. Pippo showed a couple of weeks ago that he can beat Boonen in a two man sprint and he would have been comfortable sprinting in a three man sprint with Thor included. I do think that there might be some truth in what Pippo said about the spectators making it harder for him and I also agree that Boonen had some assistance from the camera bikes, especially when there were cross winds and they showed him from the side. Flecha was hiding and not sharing pulls evenly in the run up to his attack and got what was coming to him. To me, Boonen was deserved winner and we could all take a few pages from his book. He made the race for himself and did not wait for others to initiate moves. He did not base his race on other riders but on his own ability and how he felt at the time.
Regardless of the ill timed crashes that might have made a more exciting finish…boonen did make two vicious attacks…BOTH of which caused splits, his last one, knocked out that entire Saxo Bank team….it only caused a 30 yard rift but they couldnt close the gap. I love watching races where pros of that quality just can’t close the gap.
Rapha – that team got so hooked up….they have about 50 different looks they could pull off with all the stuff they got…I am sure they have a nice wite summer kit to be doned when it gets waremer….a little jealous, indeed.
responding to 10:27 and also continuing on some of the “hopeful” points made about P-R and pozzatto, i agree, his strategy is not the most “honorable” and certainly not fun to watch. but from his perspective, what else do you do? boonen has a team built around him which includes several legitimate contenders for the overall, if the race doesn’t shape up for him. five or six quickstep guys finished above the next best placed katusha rider. if you are strong enough, and pozzatto clearly is, why not tack yourself onto the guy who you know is going to be the aggressor who tears apart the race, and better still, whom you know you can beat in a sprint??? that said, boonen played his own hand to perfection, was the instigator, and in my opinion it was entirely appropriate that everyone behind him got wiped out while he remained on the front, safe. from this non-sprinter’s point of view, it was perfect to see him get a chance to use brute strength and determination to slowly distance the guy who was otherwise committed to sitting in his draft until the last 200m. great race, says i.
Pipo wins one sprint against Boonen and you think he thinks he can beat him all the time? and Thor? Hey, Fararr beat them all too but I’d still put my money on Cav and Boonen in the next one.
solid point from booth boonan posts. He is the guy that made his own fortune slaughtering guys that they knew the tornado was coming. A lot of riders late in the race just didnt have the extra gear late in the game. Boonan is just a fricken machine! Thor was rockin heavily in the saddle before he went down. I think Boonan just smelled the blood in the water and snapped at the perfect time. His last acceleration would have been tough to match even if those guys hadnt gone down. Most of them were already on the ropes anyhow.
Boonen is a doper… that’s why he can open gaps no pro can close.
Any results from the 1, 2, 3 race Sunday?
the results were announced after the race.
they even gave out monies!
Rosters are up. Some big names on the start list including Landis. I see some locals are signed up (Wilson?). Looks like a hard day in the saddle for some locals. Best of luck. Look for a BMC racer or Tim Johnson of Ouch. I am betting Ouch sends Chodroff off the front at the gun and then they set up a big counter late in the race when he is brought back.
My dark horses are Zirbel of Bissell, either Keough of Bikereg or Kelly and Lindine of Bikereg.
As for Cat 2s – I like Ernest Taukest if he makes it to the final sprint.
Cat 3s – I think there are 2 fields but I would go with Peppo, Slokar, Will O, Cuttler, Gabele, John Nash of Pawling and Bernstein.
Cat 4s – James Stevens of TOGA
Juniors – Cooper Ray of TOGA
Best of luck to everyone racing. Going to be a warm day.
good predictions. very curious to how the cat 2 race goes. it’s always interesting when the 2s have their own field.
Battenkill and Fitchburg are the only big races that have them.
Would love to see more opportunities such as at Bear or GMSR.
http://tinyurl.com/cqm3w6
James hasn’t upgraded yet? Between GMSR, Tour of the Catskills (6th and a 3rd), Housatonic, and J Peak I would think he’d be a 3 by now. Actually, if he took the time to figure out how many 4s he beat at Housatonic and J Peak he would be a 3 now. Good luck James!
the sandbagging avalanche will descend upon you momentarily and you’ll be a honored member of that club.
Pretty soon you’ll get your own banner….
Really nice guy and a strong racer that could be a 3. Dont worry he will upgrade but you should enjoy having some stronger guys to push the pace in the 4s. If you get the 3s all the guys are like James and stronger. BTW – James did well at Housatonic and Jiminy – the 4/5 which is not that hard. I suspect he will be a 3 after Battenkill as many 3s will be going to the 2s (Slokar, Peppo, Bernstein, Cuttler).
This year he’s really nice, next year he’ll be unfriendly
Tim Johnson
Hula Hoop Low-Key, Setanta, Badler, Foundation, and Kissena will all work flawlessly as teams, thereby rendering James emasculated. The joys of Cat 4 tactics!
“Badler” doesn’t have a cat 4 team
it’s Metro Sanchez….
Sheesh….
Idler has been doing some smart racing this year
Do you hear that David E. Burns and Kansas Waugh? You simply don’t exist. You guys aren’t super-bad-lers. You’re mini-badlers.
gabele there is a bag of sand with your name on it
I wouldn’t bet on the Adler prancing peacocks.
seriously, what does that even mean
Dominated GMSR – Should move up….
I think that means you’re a bunch of dandies.
Prancing peacocks, or not, check their results. Adler’s 3 squad has a tendency to win races. And there are three of them. So that would make betting on them a wise idea, I think?
The ‘Baggers. Face it, this just means you’ll only have to lose to these guys a couple more times. No big deal. If you keep training, one day you’ll get called a ‘bagger and get to gloat.
Sure, you’ve been training since December to get your top 5 at Battenkill, but do you really have a chance? They’ll always be some natural talents that will displace you. Don’t resist.
I don’t know about you, but the second I had enough points to upgrade I’d be on that. How cool is it to be able to race with stronger guys and learn more about the sport?
What’s the vig on Battenkill? I have some money to burn.
Will you guys be envy arguing about Adler for the rest of your lives? Just want to check so I can tune out for next 50 years.
Will win his race and then upgrade if no mechanicals. Super strong, but new to racing and needed a bit more races under his belt before he moved up to the 2’s.
Nicest guy in the race if that means anything.
I actually think Adler can win Battenkill. Peppo would have won last year but didn’t due to a mechanical. He still got a wheel and bridged to the lead group. Consider that, plus another year of focused training, and you have a recipe for success. Plus, he has Slokar and Cuttler, both riding strong with similar chances going FTW. Eff the haters, Adler has a good shot.
Tiny dude that can climb like a goat and sprint well which is a perfect combo for Battenkill.
JG
How many NYVC predictions for Battenkill or Bear have actually proven correct? With 100+ guys in all the fields from all over the northeast, I don’t think anyone really knows who is the strongest and the strongest guy often isn’t the winner anyway.
The course isn’t hilly enough to favor really small climber guys.
is no climber’s race. strong generalists do well
Not a climbers race but I would not expect to see a guy like Wilson in the final sprint…. Dudes like that are too big to stay with the front group on the hills.
I didn’t mechanical at Battenkill, but I too would have won if nobody passed me in the sprint…same goes for Jiminy, Bear, etc. etc.
Are there pics out there somewhere from Sunday’s Spring Series race? I was planning to work on my “Cat 4 Glory” photo collage this afternoon…
I would be a 2 by now if I didn’t waste my energy on NY Velocity posting wussy predictions and making excuses for myself
you should only read velocity while in recovery after training, and on rest days
Interesting. I’ll mention that to my $200 a month coach and see what he says. Perhaps he can work up a NYVSS score, and I can track that also. He said something about “not getting wrapped up in petty bull shit and keeping your head in the game”. I’m not sure what he’s referring to.
Are riders on NYVC required to spend a minimum amount of time on the website each day, clicking on sponsor links to boost ad revenue? Alex, you might want to put that in the contract.
you need a coach to tell you that? go get a shrink
I consult a coach on many things: recovery, mood swings, dietary tips, tumescence – there’s really nothing they can’t help with!
Times are tough. There might be some coaches who slip in a little happy ending after the ride. Shop around.
I ride a min of 10 hours a day all in the 53/11. After that I do 6000 crunches and 10×10 squats at a min of 1000lbs. For my post workout meal I eat nothing but fruit and soy for recovery. I am now in the process of getting on the UZSHITMYPANTZ national team so that I can get my Cat1 upgrade up from my current Cat4. Once that goes through I will be racing mainly centuries and the occassional 10 mile TT.
WWV
erectile dysfunction
No! That’s what I’m saying, they can help with erectile dysfunction. Perhaps you have the wrong coach? It starts innocently enough with some on-site seat adjustment.
What would TT Vegan DO?
I have to admit to some level of confusion as to why that TT guy doesn’t deserve his upgrade, or how he would have goten a cat 2 upgrade on both the road and track without results. Surely there must be at least some reasonable adherence to what’s presented as the upgrade standards?
but most erectile dysfunction is mental… ie, you hate your wife. no coach can fix that.
He’s lactose intolerant. Read USCF handbook–there’s a special clause in there for automatic upgrade if suffering nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea while a Cat 4.
you’d think that, but you’d be wrong. his results on usa cycling do not merit any such upgrade. on the other hand, who really cares?
Sure coaches can fix that … lots of coaches get a cut when they recommend a divorce lawyer. Times are tough. You have to diversify. “When it comes down to it, you have to decide what is more important, and I know a good guy on Long Island”

IF you follow his exploits you know that he dominated the local Phillipines masters Cat 5 1980s Steel Bike circuit this winter. That domination got him on the Phillipines Natioanal Team. I guess if you are on a national team they issue you a Cat2 on road and track. The guy does not even have enough races to be a Cat 4 (need 10 mass starts). The best thing is that he truely believes he is at the level of competitive cat 1s.

Even for NYVelocity – I guess the day was inevitable…posting a photo set which “happens” to include an accusation of a rider causing a crash by supposedly showing visual evidence, although you really can’t tell anything from the photos.
I believe that whatever did happen, it was unintentional, the “offended” rider rudely rejected any and all apologies and any attempt at good sportsmanship, and apparently still is not over it.
Very poor taste IMHO.
maybe they were just hanging out relaxing, arguing over thin vs. thick crust pizza?
luzzo: “hey, whassamatta you, eh? my team, we like-a some thin crust, maybe a little oil & ball-samic for dipping. wha, you no like-a my pizza? what are you, communist?”
curb man: “hey man, i’m just chillin. i just went into zone 6 a few minutes ago, and got all puke burp, ok? lemme eat my clif gel shots in peace, will ya? chill, bro, chill.”
you take umbrage at pictures of a crash and fail to mention the plethora of bad (and yet so funny) taste in Toto. They simultaneously mock a cancer victim, his parenting skills and display a phallus and yet a crash photo is what puts your bad tast-o-meter in the red.
you sir, are a comic genius.
Is that you Keith?
This is serious business, maligning a rider representing one of NY’s finest institutions, Luzzo’s Pizza, a dining experience par excellence. Luzzo’s is a gastronomic palace representing the very best of NY and gourmet eating. I can’t stand idly by (or lie on the CP grass) without defending Luzzo’s Honor.
Hey, they might even win a race, you know, Even the Luzzo’s get lucky sometimes…watch your back Mr arbiter of good taste.
