See the signal?

There’s racing afoot in the Greater Gotham region this weekend, but we’re stuck in New York, so let’s see what happening around here.

Starting today and continuing through Sunday in Fitchburg, there’s the Longsjo Classic.

Saturday morning, there’s a Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup race in Prospect Park.

Sunday there’s The Mango Seed Dash of Cash at Floyd Bennett Field.

so jp witnesses his buddy get mowed down, but instead of going to the hospital with him, he chooses to race. am I missing something?

Sam Bartape

Yes, you are missing something. JP didn’t witness it. He’s got lots of connections in cycling journalism so he relayed the information to help try to track down the driver. Jeff called another teammate, Eric Ragot, who was on his way the race, turned around, and went and got him and took care of him. Eric relayed to the team that Jeff was, miraculously, not seriously injured. Then other teammates went to help him out after the race.

Wow!! Has it already been 5 years?!?! Damn curious to see what he’s got after the “sebatical”. Interesting to see that he will be wearing a UNITED kit.

Not a lawyer

From the WS United website:

Team We Stand United believe in fairness, and in training hard to succeed. They also encourage the development of leadership skill, sense of community responsibility and a healthy lifestyle. Team We Stand United encourage all their members to eat right and compete without using drugs, hormones or synthetic chemicals to enhance performance.

O – well then that explains why UNITED graciously & with open arms accepted him on their squad. Curious to see what he’s got.

Niels Bearing

No, it’s part of what makes him an actual decent human being. Apparently, unlike you.

“encourage all their members to eat right…”

no special bisteca?

I crashed out of the B’s and came upon that accident. Looked like a pedestrian was hit by a rec rider (no one with a number nearby), and the pedestrian was conscious and knew where he was, what day it was. Just scary looking as he was lying face down.

I understand being happy that it wasn’t a racer-on-pedestrian accident, but it’s never “really good news” when people get hurt…
