Let’s be Frank
If you listen closely, you can hear the training plans of hundreds of amateur bike racers nearly reaching their peaks, it’s a noise that sounds almost exactly like a Zip Car begin rented for the weekend. Yes, it’s Battenkill Weekend, which is the Super Bowl for skinny tightly clothed bike racers from the Northeast. And there’s no registration link fro the race, because if you haven’t registered yet, it’s probably too late.
Of course, every Sylvester needs a Frank, so there’s a Spring Series race in Central Park on Saturday, and on Sunday there’s a Spring Series race at FBF.
Uno!
Last Bethel is on Sunday as well.
oops, my mistake
i heard something about a course change at Battenkill with fewer climbs… is that true? damn wish i had known might have signed up.
I heard Dieter got rid of the dirt roads because people were complaining about getting flats.
I heard of a race in Cambridge NY im a pro that just came off a win in Paris Roubaix is there time for me to register?
Pro1 registration is not large. Is the full list not posted….? There are no major teams listed in the pre-reg.
Superbowl of NC racing is this weekend (Presby Crit, Dillworth Crit and NODA Crit all in same day). Looks like the big teams hunting for NRC crit points will all be in the Queen City.
OMG! Last Bethel race. Stop the presses! The last of 7 races in a spring training series that is 2 hours away is Sunday.
Crash and burn baby!
Nice metaphor. Rise > Fall > Redemption
an amazing movie
You need to look closer at the home page picture

doh, Frank. ima a dope
will schneider won the battenkill course pre drive this afternoon
is making $500 million profit from Battenkill
Bethel is actually closer to most of New York than FBF is.
But does Bethel have seagull-sized mosquitos?
Who will do well from readers in Battenkill?
Since Schmalz is out of the race, I have no picks.
Don’t care about the 20 cat 5 fields.
Look to a Redline racer who just finished up Cape Epic. I imagine his form is pretty good at this time.
And for those of you that just can’t get enough from the dirt of Washington County, or just want to race some more, there’s a Hill Climb TT in the morning and criteriums for Women 4, Men 4/5, and Men 2/3 at West Point, hosted by the Army Cycling Team. Details on BikeReg.
Bethel?? Closer than FBF? Where the hell do you live? Riverdale? We’re talking NY city not State right?
17th!
will schneider rode a smart cruise control.
Hay boys–not enough exposed legs out there this morning. You can do better, studmuffins!
Love,
<3 Miles Junk <3
