Yet another weekend has passed and has been inscribed upon the back of the pocket watch known as "the season", let us see who has been scratched into posterity, shall we?
At the Lucareiil & Castaldi Cup in Prospect Park, Everhard Paredes of Champion System p/b Stan’s won the pro/1/2/3 race. Steven Patak of CIS: First Team won the cat 4 race. Samuel Hamilton of Foundation Cycling won the cat 5 race. Results are here. Victor Chan photos are here.
Quabbin happened, but no results were set to the internet as of yet.
The Spring Series wrapped up this weekend (ending my Monday morning ritual of sleuthing results), with Brian Breach of GS Mengoni USA winning the pro/1/2/3 race and the series overall championship. Higinio Rodrguez of Montecci Cycling won the cat 3/4 race, with Bootman Mihael Ginghina of TargetTraining winning the cat 3/4 overall title. Juan Aracena of DRV/RCS/DRISCOLL won the masters race, but I’m uncertain who won the masters title (my guess is Paul Carbonara of Axis). Billy Wherley of Setanta won the cat 5 race. Results are here.
I have no idea what happened at the Marlton Race, if you won, let us know.
At the CRCA Alpine Hill Climb ITT p/b Strictly Bicycles, Bryan Dobes of CRCA/Blue Ribbon-Tranlation.com repeated as the men’s cat 1/2 winner with a time of 4:45. Also posting a time of 4:45 was the Strava slayer Anthony Fatuzzo of Velorigin Performance, which won him the cat 3 crown. BrittLee Bowman of Stan’s NoTubes p/b EnduranceWerx won the women’s 1/2/3 field. Greg Olsen of ChampSys p/b Stan’s NoTubes won the master’s 40+ race. Rob Weitzner of Foundation won the master’s 50+. Jessica Meany of Stan’s NoTubes p/b EnduranceWerx won the women’s cat 4 race. Svenn Mikalsen of Velorigin Performance won the men’s Cat 4. Ryan Seher of Empire Tri Clubwon the men’s cat 5. Rod Millott of Foundation won the single speed race. Results are here.
Kevin Mullervy of Champion System p/b Stan’s NoTubes just happened to win the g-damn Athen Twilight also.
Anyone have a drink? I’m dying of first.
JT is always first !
that cat 5 ryan seher rides a mean uphill. his time places him 2nd in cat 1/2.
sandbagger!
If that’s true that they timed him at Cat 1,2 level then that really sucks for true novices like myself.
Oh well, I dreamed of a trophy but at the end of the day, after completing the SS and a couple of Lucarellis, I’ve lost 30-lbs, gotten faster, and my bike handling has improved.
If you’re not 180lbs or under you’re going backwards when the road tilts uphill. ….and there’s nothing you can do about it.
All cat 2 or 3s have to move through the category process, everyone starts as a cat 5.
AVD announced that he is done as the promoter of the Spring Series. New promoter for 2014. Who?
I wonder if this guy is going to feel comfortable showing up to the next race knowing what he did? If he races again this week and feels no guilt, he probably has no Conscious in which case we have a big problem here and perhaps a group of riders can have a conversation with him in a nonthreatening way before the race. Any volunteers?
If that does not work, we got some real problems.
It really is not that difficult to deal with ‘notorious’ dangerous riders, there are clear rules in the USAC rule book which easily can be used.
Please see rule 1N8. A rider may receive disqualification during or after the race, so if you see something dangerous bring it to the attention of the referee. I would think promoters also would be interested in having a ‘hard’ hand towards dangerous riders – for the sake of racing and the ‘rest’ of the field, if your actions carry no accountability – why change?
Bring it to the attention of the officials at the race. Preferably with a second witness to corroborate your story. Riders can be disqualified for riding in erratic or dangerous manners that put others at risk. Officials cannot DQ or suspend riders without either directly witnessing dangerous behavior directly or from reports of riders in their field, and the officials only see the field as they’re passing the start/finish each lap. So they rely on riders to report rule-breaking for the remaining 99% of the course.
If you’re not standing up and saying something about bad behavior you’re part of the problem. If you see somebody advance in the jogger’s lane, throw punches in the field or just ride in a manner that puts others at risk, say something about it.
I would suggest not confronting the rider directly because that rarely results in a positive change in behavior.
what if a rider rides in an erotic fashion?
What’s the proper action with regards to a dangerous Cat 4 rider, who has been spoken to multiple times by the peloton during a cat 4 race and continues to demonstrate a complete lack of bike handling skills thus leading to a crash in the final sprint and seriously injuring another rider?
Does he get reported to a race organizer? Is there even an course of action that could be taken to keep others safe?
I’m not sure if permits are transferrable.
http://www.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2013-1628
What was his response when you spoke to the rider？
Did you speak to him during the race (never a good idea), or immediately after the race(still not so good)…perhaps wait for a cool down and chat with him in a friendly way? If not, address it to team captain(if he is on the team?). Don’t be too critical as most every new rider is sketchy in handling.
It’s a tough call, as not everyone appreciates being told what they do wrong.
The comments from others I witnessed, and my words both were ignored. Not a nod, not a look over, not a “sorry”. I am told others approached him after the race as well.
If this was a cat 5 race I’d be more understanding at such poor abilities, but this is a rider with a long list of cat 4 races, and being a rider who can place well I’d expect a bit more handling ability.
How many more people need to get hurt because he can’t ride safely and hold a line? Let’s hope he can get his head out of his ass before another rider is sent to the hospital.
As old as time. Upgrade as soon as possible. That is the only solution. A cat 4 is a cat 5 with 11 races.
Zach Koop/CRCA BlueRibbon-Translations won the Marlton P12
Wait until they get a load of JJ…
Where is JCM when you need him?
This video shows the crashes in the large 3/4 field at Quabbin on Saturday. The comments that have been made concern the oncoming traffic that was not involved in the crashes, but easily could have been if when people bailed around the crash to the left crossed the yellow line.
http://youtu.be/uDcc0Q3zTqg
Exciting news about the Spring Series. I am guessing that a promoter would need to take over the Team Squiggle organizations.
You guys are dissapointing me, I would have expected that someone would have mentioned his name or team by now.
…right on cue
168 riders in the 3/4 field on narrow roads. 90 in the 4/5 race. What was the promoter (Mike Norton) thinking??? This was a non-USACycling race. There’s a reason why sanctioned races have field limits.
I’d like to thank AVD for all the races over the years. I enjoyed them.
Agreed. Thank you to AvD!
what is a promoter that doesn’t have to worry about field limits thinking about? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Its like asking a teenager what they are thinking about it.
…perhaps get him a set of rollers 🙂
“168 riders in the 3/4 field on narrow roads.” Please get your information correct before you slander me. The group had 139 racers. The roads where good and wide. It is not the size of the pack that makes people crash. Its the riders. You can see in the Youtube that when the car came past it scared someone and that person took out the others. When I had it as a USAC race I had 180 riders on the course without any crashes. Crashes happen with small or large groups. it is almost always the riders. Both crashes in the 3/4 where on straight clean roads. no reason other than riders fault. So please do not blame the promoter.
If you where at this race you would of seen all the support to help out the riders. Blue Knight in front trying to slow cars down, they are all Police Officers. We had 4 Cars with EMT’S to make sure they got to the crash fast. if you think this race makes the big $$$$$$$$$$$ then you should put on a race that goes through 7 towns with all the support that was there.
Everything there cost money all the Neutral support cars are not cheap, The Bonk at the feed zone is paid these people do not come to race for free. They come because I want them there to help the racers. So when it only takes a couple of minutes to get through the registration line. have 10 Porta Johns to help with the rest rooms. and all the police out on the road.
All that with a great views. So there are not many real road races left. If you guys want to stay in NY and race the same circuit week after week then do so. If it wasn’t for us trying to give the road racers a good race there would be none to race at. this is a 64.5 mile road race without doing a circuit.
I put on a safer race than Most USAC races.
biopace must be withholding results as a form of reverse protest
JJ punching? Wait until you see Hammean Walker punching. He punches all race long like Mike Tyson. And the those punchies are that scared they just accepted his elbows in their ribs time after time!
We are waiting for bikereg.com to post them. they have the results.
Safety First,
You appear to enjoy going round-and-round at the same business park with other highly-strung riders. Great. See you there.
Heaven forbid someone try to put on a novel independent event. USAC hates competition.
There is nothing special about Quabbin compared to other road races. Except that it operates without any communicated, established rules. That was USAC provides – plus officials to enforce. Trained and accredited moto officials who know how to work with a field and oncoming traffic.
USAC races also provide a certain level of insurance for riders. It doesn’t cover dollar zero, but it does provide some coverage if you have a major crash. No idea what Quabbin provided – nothing was communicated, so I assume none.
USAC officials get paid next to nothing – you can look it up on the USAC website site. A promoter who wants to run a race event according to no established set of rules and without officials is doing so to save a few dollars and enable him to have larger field sizes to maximize profits at the expense of safety.
I am sure that putting on a race is expensive, but cutting back on USAC officials and bypassing safety related requirements like field limits shows where the motivation is, and its clearly not rider safety.
USAC can definitely be improved, don’t get me wrong. But a well-run single sanctioning body is what we need. Changing the system we have from within is better than running random unsanctioned races.
Nice. Blame the racers.
At least those who crashed can lodge a complaint with the USAC….oh wait, they can’t.
93 were signed up for the Cat 5 race? I hope that was split into 2 fields because typically there’d be a 50 rider limit, but maybe not if it’s unsanctioned.
Mike Galleazzo, Quabbin is run on a great course, no argument, though most racers aren’t looking at the views except on the drive up and back, or from the tower during warmups
168 riders were pre-reg’d for the 3/4’s. i don’t know how many were no-shows vs how many day-of-race registrants there were. I think there were 88 pre-reg’d for the 4/5 race. 88 riders in a race where half the field is cat 5 is too many. what do you think is a safe field limit in a cat 4 or 5 race?
How long were we supposed to hang around waiting for results? I still haven’t seen them.
i don’t think anyone cares how many portopotties you have. we want a safe race with rules. how many riders were dq’d for yellow line violations?
Everyone says you run a great race. you do. until something goes wrong.
Mike
I remember when you first went about your way to put on a non USCF race a few years ago stating that you offered better insurance coverage for the racers. I supported that and I believe many others did, too.
I do agree with a lot of what you say, but having a 130+ field for a 3/4 race is a lot – don’t you think?
Regardless of road condition, one lane in countryside of New England can be tight, and yes there are a lot racers who feels uncomfortable when seeing on coming cars – the bigger the field, the harder to see which equates to slower and sudden reaction that could lead to higher chances of crashing.
Riders need to learn the skills and stop panicking, but as a veteran promoter and racer, I hope you would know how things go esp among the lower category racers.
Especially if the benefit of the racers is your priority of moving away from USCF?
People may pay extra $5-10 for limit of 100 riders in field.
Or possibly shorten the course a bit and have two separate fields(say 75×2)if you want up attract more riders.
I always liked your race and I personally would like you to make many as a promoter but if you want a long lasting race life, extra attention to safety should come first and I think 100+ racers is not the way to go.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHQ_aTjXObs
Point to point challenging course, well marshaled, safe uphill finish, fair entry fee, good prize money, what else can you ask for? Oh yeah, field limits. It’s not a complicated argument. Next year will be telling.
Who is the crashing Cat 4? Out with it. Maybe him seeing his name here will make him reflect on his riding?
Looks like registration for Dieter’s crits opened. $45 ($55 for P,1,2). Doesn’t look like there’s any prize money listed, no start times given, no list of confirmed riders. Seems like he’s floating a trial balloon for races in a year to come. ‘No refunds’ for any reason. Does that include if the promoter cancels the race?
Since people seem to be up for debating promoters and racing …
Any thoughts on Dragons pro1/2 this year? Cost v Prize list for a 2 day stage race with 25 miles of dirt etc? Based on Battenkill costs for entry in the pro race and what looked to be a lack of support for the pro field …
Anyone registered for Dragons?
Will there be dungeons with those dragons?
Did I see Floyd Landis riding in Central Park this morning?
It’s been known to happen
It was actually Ron Mexico. They look amazingly alike.
Yeah, I saw him. He was wearing a Lynard Skynard kit.
I saw Ron Jeremy riding Fizik Ariona on HBO late night.
Dragons Pro/1/2 RR course on Sunday may be modified due to some newly-graded dirt roads. It’ll still be ~120+ miles (with less dirt). Neutral support will be provided for this field only, wheel vans for others. There will be a spelling test, however.
We didn’t provide neutral support for the Pro/1 at Battenkill because, well, why should we? It was an amateur race. We felt that the 15 cat 5 fields or the 6 Cat 4 fields for example deserved it more, so we focused on those instead with Mavic Neutral Service.
Liberty reg just opened – https://www.bikereg.com/NET/Events/?ns=liberty+&search.x=16&search.y=22&search=search. Times, prizelists are noted. No balloons, sorry.
Dieter
Mens Cat 3/4 pay $45 to race 35 minutes. That’s $1.28 per minute. It’s cheaper to call Russia. Sorry Dieter, just had to go there. I still love Bkill.
so 50 bucks and a 3 hour drive and you won’t let me know whether i’m wasting a day going to a race with 6 people in the field?
It’s simple: don’t race if you don’t want to. It’s still a free country.
Dieter
We also have a series prize list for the Liberty Tour – something not even the NRC has…
-Dieter
Dieter do you really think having a confirmed rider’s list is an unreasonable request?
Confirmed rider lists can still be viewed via roadresults.com…
were we wrong to trust Shen and Schmalz? not that they took anything but we trusted their vetting skills. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/has-the-paul-kimmage-defense-fund-disappeared
Dieter,
Can you really justify charging $75 for Hunter Mtn P1/2?
Don’t you think its telling that only 3 people have registered?
Your races arent THAT much better than anyone elses.
Check out http://velopromo.com/
They put on races equally as fun and challenging as yours and they only charge $33!! They provide neutral support, neutral water, and have FREE WATERMELON at the finish!
What do you have to say?
A Bike Racer
I hope this $ issue is settled. Youguys have left kimmagewide open for the uci attack dogs to pounce on.
I say that the Pro/1/2 also has a much higher prize list. Relative to the size of the field, it’s a bargain for anyone registering in that race.
Again, it’s a free country. If you don’t like the race or simply don’t want to race, then fine. Enjoy the sunshine and have a good weekend.
-Dieter
Dieter Drake’s response to criticism:
“Well, Why Should We?”
Because these racers are your customers. You do not supply them an event. They supply you your revenue. Without those people your events and everything you worked for are nothing.
All it takes is the correct number of racers throwing Gu wrappers or urinating in public to end it all. Show them the respect they show you.
Funny. It is indeed a free country.
And now rather than support the races of a guy I like face to face I’ve decided that based on
-his ‘do something else if you don’t like it’ attitude,
-high entry fees,
-entry fees that will increase by another $10 before a the ten day forecast is out,
-and the inability to see who is actually showing up
I’ll instead do Charlie’s prospect park race with 110 of my closest old guy friends for less money, less travel and a slew of jerseys to chase. I also free myself of the obligation to travel to the ponderously depressing city of Worcester, and can instead do the always pleasant Freedom Tour.
What seemed like a tough decision on paper got suddenly easier. Thanks Dieter!
There you go. I love America.
There are 3 quality neutral service providers in the Northeast. we employed 2 of them at Battenkill, while the 3rd was unavailable.
Battenkill, 2013:
Cat 5s – 650
Cat 4s – 500
Cat 3s – 300
Women Cat 4 – 150
Men Cat 2 – 150
Men Pro/1 – 120 or so
I think it’s pretty obvious where we should focus our attention with the limited neutral service available. Not a single Cat 4 or 5 rider complained about the lack of neutral support, btw.
And this race was sanctioned by USAC and paid officials and their lodging and submitted results to USAC for your upgrade purposes.
Dieter
I have to say I also think it’s a bit of a cop-out to go on and say It’s a free country don’t race my race if you don’t want to. That’s throwing customers opinions pretty deep into the trash. And why should pro 1/2’s have any neutral support in what you call americas biggest one day race? Because they paid 200 dollars a pop to be there and earn it.
And with a payout pretty small relative to the size of the field and the fact that it’s one day of racing means that something was left. On top of that there was no pace vehicle for the main group when the break was up the road. While the road signage was really excellent that doesn’t detract from the fact that safety was compromised. You can thumb your nose at the UCI, USA Cycling and Pro events all you like but not giving the racers value for some pretty high prices doesn’t seem ok. These events started as great races and personally I wont continue to do them.
Being that it’s a free country at all.
Alex (or whoever you are),
Like all of our events, the Battenkill is an amateur race and the Cat 3s, 4s, 5s, and gran fondo riders who trained all winter to be competitive or finish earned it too.
Honestly, organize your own race if you don’t like it. We like to think we do a pretty good job with ours, but there are plenty of other races to choose from.
Dieter
I don’t get people griping about race fees or payouts. I raced BKill and finished in the money, but I would have been happy just getting the chocolate milk. $0 or a few hundred doesn’t really matter.
Thanks for putting on great races DD.
Thanks, can you talk to Alex, please? I appreciate his opinion but I simply disagree with it.
Dieter
i’d pay more at battenkill for a happy ending.
Why is everyone’s name Axel?
You all complain about vandunk’s races, then you complained about palmer, and now dieter too? does any promoter do a good enough job for you?
Is battenkill worth it’s high entry fee? that’s for the riders to decide. I’d say that based on the numbers there’s a conclusive decision.
If you don’t want to do dieter’s races (or vandunk’s or palmer), don’t. there’s 10 races on the calendar every saturday and sunday.
Can I also mention that if we increased the prize payout to even $2k for a SINGLE field that we’d have to send 7% of the ENTIRE payout (for the entire event) to Colorado Springs to fund some future fraud? Forget that – that’s worth funding a start-up neutral service company right there…
My feelings about the leadership at USAC aside, that’s unwise to do and I can’t believe any race promoter would do that going forward.
Dieter
The point I am trying to make is if on race day only 20-30 guys show up to Hunter Mtn paying $75 a piece Dieter takes in $1500-$2250
If he dropped it to a reasonable $45-$50 I could imagine that closer to 60-70 guys would show up. Thats $2700-$3500 he could be bringing in without changing the prize list or even need any more support.
I can almost guarantee that the reason for low patronage in the 1/2’s is because of the fee.
In regards to battenkill, The P/1 race is what gets you the most publicity so I would think you’d want to hook them up with a bit more support.
I didn’t create the landscape we are living in.
Reporter: So what professionals do you have coming to the race?
Promoter: What professionals do you know?
Reporter: I know Lance?
Promoter: Ok.
I don’t know what to say. Would you rather we removed the Pro/1/2 field? It really doesn’t matter to me either way at this point. We’d save a bundle. I’ll leave it to you.
In any case, it’ll be a well-run and fun event for those that come. We will endeavor to make it worth their while and I hope they’ll consider our other events throughout the year. Many already do and I am personally grateful for that.
We aim to please. Always.
Thanks.
Dieter
Dieter – have you considered a new “Axel” category?
Hold up, a few weeks ago this site held a lovefest for Gran Fondo NY and what a great experience it was at…(wait for it)… $280. Look at a marathon event or a triathlon and you will see that cycling events (including Dieter’s) are a bargain.
i sink itz time to dance. luf my monnkey.
The problem with this comparison is that bike racing and marathon or doing triathlons are different sports. A marathoner will do 3 or 4 a year at best, a triathlete will do 4-8 races a year. Bike racers typically race twice a weekend from March through September. 50-60 races a year (sure, some do less- about 30, and some do more- racing multiday stage races and/ or racing during the week as well. You can’t do $75, $120, or $280 per race if you are racing 30 or 40 races each year, but you can if you are doing 5 races a year.
There at some people who create races to help develop the sport and make a slight profit
Drake is one who thinks he’s creating races to develop the sport but also makes sure to profit greatly.
How many ‘real’ pro teams (teams paying riders with a team license) pay their riders to show when it’s not UCI or NRC?
It is interesting that more cat 4s enter than 3s.
As for the reporter who knows lance, I’m sure he also knows Floyd. But not everyone should know how close DD and Floyd are. Would look bad in newsprint. Sponsors wouldn’t like it.
It is impossible for one dirty hand to wash itself
Dieter started and promoted a ton of races when there weren’t many.
His races are organized, staff always friendly, and on great courses.
There’s a lot that goes on in putting a race. It’s not like renting out a bar for the night.
There’s not an established business model for bike promotors or business. It’s constantly changing.
It’s difficult bc you never know how many will shop up. Probably a lot more work than you can imagine with your journalistic filtered glasses and pen.
Racers for the most part more jerks than the happy go tri folks
(They are annoying in other ways).
He deserves to make money as he is earning it fairly.
I, for one, is not doing Hunter because I think it is expensive when you add up all the other cost for the type of experience I want to have – for F@$k sake, we are amateurs we get to be selective in races we do!
But hey, there are others who are registered and good for them. They will enjoy the race, the local business will make $ and so would Dieter. Good for them.
If Dieter sees that cost is deterring too many riders from participating, I am certain he will consider adjusting the frees. And that’s up to him.
In the meantime, you can continue to complain, get involved in the same old PP race against thd same sketchy riders. Or, you can volunteer your time, energy and put on a race yourselves and see how much money you want to make.
May be you should stop buying new ZIPP wheels or that new bike or the new 22 speed, and put that towards the experience of racing in a well run course.
Stop bitching and make some damn money. No money, no future. No money, no women. No money, no kids. No money, no hobby. So get you punk ass moving and let Dieter make some money too, otherwise he keeps on going in circles in the velocity comments, instead of putting on a bike race.
Instead, go buy some Zipps and do the Rocket Ride for free!!!!!
The ‘rocket ride’ is fucking retarded. It’s only a matter of time until we’re mourning some guy who gets flattened from running a red light, or taking a left turn into the oncoming lane.
Rocket Ride has been dangerous lately.
One way to lower entry fees might be to just get rid of the payouts. I’m racing to beat people and know I’m good at making a bike go fast, not to get 50 bucks back on my 30 dollar entry fee. If we cut the payouts entirely, could we drop entry fees $10 across the board?
Corentin Chamois, you need to work with a race promoter to see how much it actually costs to put on a race. I seriously doubt anyone could put on a race with a $10 entry fee. Even CRCA races cost $15.
He said ‘drop fees by $10’
i’d drop trou for $10.
doh! Mis-read. My apologies.
Agree. Payouts are stupid.
I kinda agree. As much as I like getting gas money I agree the sport would be safer, there’d likely be less compulsion to cheat, and the promoters would likely make a bit more money. Look at the model for a race like rockleigh. Three places, maybe $50 in payout. The promoter makes money, and it’s $15 to race. Most guys would love to race weekend stuff for $25. Races are costing way over that. P12 for Dieter’s Albany crit will be $75? That’s rough with a multi hour drive.
Best case…jersey for the winner, medals for the podium. Call it day. Wanna make money? Go do NRC races. 4s, 3s, masters…there’s really no reason why they should be getting paid.
Come on…$55 for the Pro12 in Albany, Danbury and Worcester.
I proposed to the USAC Road Committee (I am a current member) eliminating payouts for all but the Pro12 field across the US in response to the doping positives we had in NY and elsewhere. I felt at the time it was the right thing to propose to help change the culture of the sport. I’m not sure I still feel that way but I do know it would radically change the cost structure for most events.
Dieter
You can also save ~30% if you register for the series.
Hunter has a $4500 total prize list. 208 riders pre-reg’d so far. let’s say 400 entries by start time. eliminating the prize list could reduce entry fees by exactly $10 with $500 left over for trophies. the number of riders who wouldn’t show up without the prize list would be offset by the additional riders who reg’d for the cheaper fee.
What’s the deal with Floyd this spring/summer? I need something to live for and the delusion that I will find myself in a breakaway and somehow eke out a podium in one of 12 races is just the kind of thing I live for.
Why don’t we get rid of prize money AND double entry fees; you can also save money by not recording the finish: Give everyone a ribbon who crosses the line. Why even have a course, send out riders and tell them to come back in 2 hours. We would all save money by not needing to train and equipment wouldn’t matter. An old Huffy would do the trick!
People are not in it for the money. Most 3/4/5 racers do well financially. $50 is nothing to them. Most split the winnings with those who helped and at the end of the day, they walk away with nothing. People aren’t racing for cash. They are racing for the competition and the glory. The thrill of saying, I’m in the leader’s jersey. The cash is nothing really – It’s the pride. You can take away the money, but it won’t change things because the type A’s that want to race want to be a champion.
No permits for FBF have been finalized. Charlie has not submitted permit to usacycling yet.
Great that everyone communicates so well.
Is the National Park Service not granting permits for the venue right now or is it something else?
Here is the USAC permit for FBF:
Regional Orthopedics Tuesday Night Race Series
Permit Number: 2013-1893
05/07/2013 – 08/27/2013
Brooklyn, NY
Found at this link: http://www.usacycling.org/events/?state=NY
It looks like next Tuesday is a go. Sweet.
I asked Charlie this morning at the Prospect Race, he said that its (99%) a go, I am sure that he will make an official announcement pretty soon.
to Champ system and CRCA for a great speedweek
Hammean Walker (Major Taylor) wins round 1. Thanks to Charlie and R&A for putting this on it’s going to be a great series.
