Turking??
Is that like planking? Or tebowing?
“Turk” is a shortened form of Jive Turkey – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlcqSsQfK68
Who will be the first to Tebow across the line? Capt. Morgan already done:

Whatever happened to Ken Harris? Is he still racing?
he’ll turk a race every now and then
Seriously WTF is Turking????
Ken was racing the Gyro and took a big spill in Tzatziki. Very messy, it was a real p.i.t.a.
apparently it’s banging a tied up chick on an ottoman until she’s unconscious from banging her head against the wall. what that has to do with local bike racers doing NRC races escapes me.
hater70 – why you turkin’ holmes?
With Foundation in 2nd place and Champs in 3rd we have two NYC based CRCA teams in the USA Crit top 3. That is just awesome and shows what kind of level cycling is on in NYC.
Tonight’s race is still on as scheduled. Remember, we race rain or shine and only if the course is flooded do we cancel the race. Another update will be posted on this site around 4PM when I inspect the course.
The overall standings can be found on the final pages of this link:

Please note there is a revision to the first KOM sprint in the Pro/1-2-3 race at Saturday’s Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup. Second place went to Kevin McNeil and not to Augusto Sanchez. It was the old upside 89 – 68 number error. The final results are:
KOM # 1 presented by BikeReg.com
1. Stalin Quiterio (Somerville Bicycle Shop)
2. Kevin McNeil (Major Taylor)
3. Tadeusz Marszalek (Unatt)

not knowing how to pin your number correctly should be automatic DQ. it’s not that hard.
Or… 5 minutes of conversation and understanding after the race will leave everyone happy and with the correct results. But maybe you’re right an automatic DQ is a fair idea so that the guy who came in 4th in that sprint deserves his 3rd place instead.
If anyone has pics of the guy wearing the fanny pack in the cat 4/5 race at the cadawalader park race in trenton on saturday please post. I heard he decimated the field.
Orchard Beach, sunny day, announces that Olsen is back, BUT I still miss the orange mouth guard and matching orange bike . . . . .

Where did olsen go?
Anybody who the guys is who left half of his leg on the second turn at Orchard BeCh in Cat 4 race?
Not sure where the wearer of the orange was, but he didn’t seem to on the winners podium lately. Thought he faced mandatory old age retirement.
Bunch of guys rolled their tubulars yesterday including the referenced Cat 4. Extra layer of glue and PSI lower than 120 when doing crits boys. The life you save could be mine.
Can we really call something with only 2 corners a crit????
Sorry but that 180 was not a corner
Cat 4s are gluing their own tubulars?
who’s the mechanic not properly gluing tires?
Stop complaining about the course. It was a fun race and good course. Infact, if you’re a spectator this course was the best. One could actually watch the entire race unfold, unlike every other course out there.
Also, PP and CP count as crits because the race is never long eneough, no corners there. Branchbrook only has 1 corner. Rockleigh has 2.5 corners. See, there’s always something to complain about. Bethel has 2 corners.
I agree very much so that more courses should be traditional crit courses. Riverton is a great example. But, hey I’m sure you’re not the one goign through the trouble of putting on the race. I hope I saved you the trouble of complaining here.
is just another local circle race.
Too many sharp corners and guys complain about crashes and too many corners; too few corners and dudes complain that there aren’t enough corners to crash in — bottom line is, Orchard Beach was well-run, safer than most crits and it was good racing. Stop complaining.
BUT I AM A NEW YORKER, I LOVE TO COMPLAIN
Orchard Beach was awesome.
Agree. Orchard Beach was really well run on an awesome course (great for riders and even better for spectators).
Why don’t you let US COMPLAIN WHY you STILL can’t win despite your expensive bike and aero wheels? May be go do Gran-freakin-fondo this weekend? You may win you age group! Good luck!!!
Orchard Beach was a great race…corners or not. If it didn’t qualify as a crit, it still qualified as a bike race. And a fun one also.
I have won more races than you
Also, beautiful venue at Orchard, not just another industrial park. Team Six Cycle (I think) also brought some Pizza, which held over some hungry racers and spectators. Parking was right near the start/finish. Overall, awsome time had by all.
We even got to yell at the Park Rangers when they drove onto the course.
Can you pick apples and cherries at the Orchard?
Greg Olsen is back! Champion System rode a smart race!
You are an idiot, Ball and Chainwhip
rather humorous victory salute in the master’s seeing as there’s 2 people and the camera operator watching the finish
http://www.crca.net/2012/05/orchard-beach-results/
Great race, good vibe, really hope they bring this back next year! Hint..hint!!
Champsys to Results, Bro
They have 13 Cat 1’s on their roster and this was their second win……..and it’s mid May……..
Surprised it took until after 3pm
1. Cat 4s on Tubies
2. Complaining about Orchard Beach course
3. Hating on Champ Sys
Had the over/under at 1:30pm…you boys disappoint…
Shouldn’t there also be a complaint about high registration fees in there also?
sandbagging
sketchy riding
doping
Champsys has 6 wins(Olsen,Rego,Gavi x2, Ariel x2)
if a rider wins a race
and no one’s around
does he still make a sound?
>if a rider wins a race
>and no one’s around
>does he still make a sound?
The sound of sandbagging
After a quick check of the USA Crits overall standings, Colin Jaskiewicz is in 2nd and Gavriel Epstein is in 5th.
All your champsys belong to us.
DA to Champsys
the USACrits standings formulation is a slight tweak of the formula that makes Schmalz the highest ranked racer in NJ.
Champ Sys to Mengoni
champ sys to DA
Your girlfriend to DA
GOTTEM
DA is the most interesting man in the world.
Stay thirsty.
Biggest issue was/is — where were Schmalz and Shen for the OB Crit? Enquiring minds want to know.
Truth game, though, well run race – hope is a steady on the calendar.
OB was for guys that put out watts…not sit in’s like Schmalz and Shen.
Shen is holding out for the FBF TT next month to lay waste to the Cat 4’s.
Is Shen the eternal cat4 everyone speaks of?
I bet he has tubulars also………..
orchard beach results were entered into USA Cycling as April 12th rather than May 12th
My 34th place needs to be counted properly
Very well-run, great location, convenient parking, spectator-friendly, and they even bought pizza. By NYC standards the course was in pristine condition, and the few corners there were meant the pace was very fast. Great stuff.
I no pedal good, but I’m on tubeless all the way.
The USACrits page has not been updated since Athens and therefore the previous posting was not correct. I’m unsure what the standing are since Isaac Howe was taken out by John Atkins.
http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/05/news/usa-cycling-opens-investigation-into-intentional-speed-week-crash_217591
If you took time to look at the USA crit page you would see that Athens was the only race that went toward USA crit points. So, the website is updated and correct. It amazes me that you take the time to write the comment but dont take the time to read the website.
I tried to figure out the usa crits thing. As near as I can tell AvD runs it. You get points for signing up, and for laps in the lead or something. It appears wildly convoluted, and no one should be faulted for any confusion related to it.
So, your’re saying that the results after Athens didn’t change after Tour De Grove?
I am saying you need to get a life and stop posting about updated rankings. Both NY team are doing awesome on a national level and that is what matters. Will Tour de Grove really change that? It probably will in your mind because you live for the local club race and base your opinion on that criteria. Seriously, get a job.
Right. Flat and level.
You are correct. The USACrits standings make no sense. It doesn’t really seem to give a true reflection of anything intuitive.
Meanwhile, AvD was actually doing a pretty reasonable job until the last race of the series which has still not been posted via twitter, usacycling or airdrop leaflets anywhere.
USAcrits standings reward consistency over a single high finish. The teams that do well in the overall are the ones that put several guys in the top 30 at every race or consistently win like Mountain Khakis has been doing. And yes, both Foundation and Champ Sys are based in New York but really the riders that have been going to those races haven’t been racing locally very much at all so it doesn’t affect any of you.
i ran a half-marathon on the day of a usa crit and i’m now ranked 17th overall in the series
Is that you Alexey Shmidt????

What happened to him? That guy won everything last year and I haven’t heard word of him this year.
Moved to Colorado I believe
How is Lake Floyd looking Charlie?
Wilsoooooooonnn!
I am stuck in traffic. FBF update will be at 4:30.
Charlie I.
This is the local NYers version of an NRC crit standings…
Still stuck in traffic, next update at 4:45
Charlie I.
i may have missed something, but it does appear to be a strange formula for the USACrits if you look at this:
Luke Keough = a 5th place, a 3rd place, a win, and a missed race
Colin Jaskiewicz = a 10th place, a 7th place, an 11th place, and a 17th place
but, in the overall Colin Jaskiewicz is in 2nd, Luke Keough is in 3rd.
It was designed for other sports, but they insist it’s fair
You don’t get it.. It is not how many top 10 placings you get it is how much money you spend to attend every race.. Turking every race will get you more points and brownie points witht the officials. Champion Systems/Foundation riders turk every NRC race..
Tonight’s race is CANCELLED. The course is completely flooded.

Those mosquitos were part of my weight loss plan. Now I’m gonna bury my sorrows in beer!
I’m sorry Wilson.
but the formula rewards (disproportionally high) riders that race with the best riders. So if you have top guys but finish out of the podium or even money, you get more points then winning races that don’t have the top guys finish. So it rewards sprinting from the middle of the pack for the highest places and passing good riders the lead out or don’t care.
That’s how Schmalz got to be #1 in the state and #3 in the country as a cat 3. By finishing high, but out of the money at Tuesday’s FBF series against many cat 1s that were many racing for the top spots.
what are all these races you guys are going on about? the spring series ended a while back. there’s still racing?
Its true, that’s how I did it.
Guy let me break it down for you. The main goal of pro teams like Moutain Khakis/Kenda 5-hour/Colavita/United Health etc is to sacrifice themselves for one guy coming to the line. That is why you see like one member of their team in the top 10 standings. Local guys from Foundation/Champion Systems turk every NRC race hoping to place consistenly in the top 20 to build up points so they can come back on the local scene and pump up their chest. If you had all the money for travel/hotel/equipment wouldn’t you give it a shot?
Are you morons inventing words?
Turk to Constantinople.
yes, random name. i would absolutely turk the shit out of those races, if i could.
Open up the rule book and read it. There is no way CP is a crit. A circuit race, yes, but not a crit.
I’m going to Ottoman that race.
I’ll have my feet on an ottoman, thank you. I am not a cat, btw.
Turkish Van?

i thought the main goal of pro teams like Moutain Khakis/Kenda 5-hour/Colavita/United Health etc was to find a sponsor with enough money and naivete to finance an american “professional” cycling team
