Boing

Judging by the sheer amount of races available, one thing seems perfectly clear—people love racing in the spring—or they love wearing absolutely every piece of warm cycling clothing they own and prancing about in public places, either way, let’s see what the weekend has in store for these Michelin Men and Women of the road.

Saturday has a Spring Series Race in Central Park. There’s a Branchbrook Park Race in Jersey. A Plainville Spring Series race, and the Trooper David Brinkerhoff Memorial Race Series (in Coxsackie, insert juvenile joke here) begins on Saturday.

Sunday has the BattenSpring Classic in Salem, NY.

The bevy of bike racing opportunities continues on Sunday, with a CRCA Race in Central Park. there’s a Spring Series Race in Prospect Park. And, of course, on Sunday there’s the 2013 Outdoor Sport Center Bethel Spring Series – Bethel CDR Gold Race in Bethel CT. Good God, I think I just upgraded by looking at all those racing opportunities.

Sunday’s prospect park race is cancelled. Any chance that they’ll open up the Central Park race to non-CRCA racers?!?!??

You guys are in good form on the Ghent twitter feed this morning. Is that a Schmalz or a Shen production?

Watch out tomorrow. It sounds like CRCA already spoke with the parks and tri organizers?
but one never knows what could go wrong. . I don’t doubt that CRCA did best to make all adjustments with other parties. I do however, questions the boneheads out there – tri guys mostly but racers also.
Thank god the finish is not at Cat’s Paw

Be safe out there.
