Update: We have finish video from Kevin Scott. Thanks, Kevin!
This looks to be a busy weekend in the bike racing world, there’s racing in the park, at FBF and out on Long Island—all scheduled around the end of days. Which raises a question, does the rapture begin at midnight Friday or is it scheduled for later in the day? We heathens are going to need to know this, because I’m not waking up for a park race if a rain of fire from the heavens is going to cancel it.
Saturday has a CRCA club race in Central Park. Also on Saturday is the Race for the Wine, with a featured pro/1/2 and cat 3 handicap race. Saturday also has the two day Tour de Syracuse starting.
Sunday has the Tour de Parc in Wantaugh, LI. And finally on Sunday there’s the Kissena Women’s Track Clinic. Of course, vengeance from above will cancel all of these events, so be forewarned.
go to tour de parc. It’s a great race
The rapture won’t necessarily cancel a race, but it could make for a smaller, more-selective field as the faithful are called up to heaven…
…granted a lot of racers probably won’t be chosen for that trip…
1) Gavi – GarminU25
2) Olsen – Adler
3) Roger A – Finkraft
4) Matt Doran – Brauer
35 starters. These 4 got away with 3 to go and Gavi took the sprint. Very fast, very aggressive race. Nice work by Finkraft and Brauer teams as well as Prinsloo and Zach Koop. Hope to see better weather and an even bigger field next week. Gavi will be in yellow.
can we go back to last week’s hoppy friday? the conversation still going on there is more interesting than here. we can talk here monday if we still exist.

Can we comment on a week old Hopeful Friday or does the thread unofficially expire when the new own is posted. Schmalz, a ruling please.
Saturday should be ok as it should not occur until about 6:00 PM EDT – makes Sunday a bit touch an go depending where you end up
If you are counting on riders going to heaven to thin the competition, you are out of luck. I can’t think of a single rider who would be heading that way.
You doubt my purity? How dare you!
How can you mention Tyler Hamilton’s doping confession without mentioning his charges against Armstrong? Well, Phil and Paul just managed to do that.
Serious TV time as we speak!
Tomorrow’s Race for the Wine at Floyd Bennett Field is still on as scheduled. I inspected the course and as of now it’s still safe to race on.
Online registration is closed but you can still register at the race.

Getting harder to make excuses for Armstrong now that AP reports GH testified he and Lance shared PEDs together.
I’d also like to point and laugh at all those fools who said “George Hincapie would never do to EPO, he’s such a nice guy.” You are the same people that buy bridges and send money to former Nigerian government officials, and believe in Santa Clause. Say it ain’t so, George.
There’s no need to make excuses for him, instead to start a foundation to help him fight his innocence (insert major eye roll)
Continuing on your point, from Sunday night forward we’re going to start hearing “everyone was doing it in that era” more and more. True, indeed. But, in cycling what era was everyone not doing it, including this era?
the Good:
they patched the most of the potholes in Prospect
the Bad:
they didn’t do a very good job…looks just as nasty…wouldn’t want to hit the patches in a race, or even riding tempo. Maybe they are going to smooth it out later, but right now it doesn’t look good.
I was happy to see the covered potholes, but now they look like bumps that slow down traffic in school zones.

Andreau, Landis, Hamilton, now Mercier . . . the evidence is piling up on Lancie Pants . . .
“Andreau, Landis, Hamilton, now Mercier . . . the evidence is piling up on Lancie Pants . . .”
I don’t know what is to be happy about. Note, everyone at that time was doping. Sure, we can tear Lance down, but then what? Baseball fans get what cyclists don’t, you don’t save your sport by tearing it down. Note that the happiest the media gets about cycling is when there are scandals like these. It is so disappointing.
Nice video
Oh yeah, nice ride from GO, was clear early on that any move that stuck was going to include him.
I am not GO and I don’t ride for Adler. So there.
those guys are retired, will GH be retired too, with a suspension of any kind???
should he be given immunity?
thanks for the finish line video, but Mariella’s, while the best pizza is not the name of that team…
and the A field is not Pro anything…
just saying…
cheers
any rider saying “that was too easy” in a B race as he crosses the line is a doooosh.
yeah, wasnt my finest moment.
Wheelsucker’s jealous coz he’s never won a race in his life
Greg should take the cock out of his mouth when he gets interviewed
So, c’mon, another crash, this one going up harlem hill!!! Then, one the of the idiots rejoins the race at a later lap and rides along in the field – DJ where is your team’s manners?!?!??!
If it was “too easy” maybe you should upgrade?
have submitted the upgrade
Old 4 = Old Bore
DRAMA at the reg table after the CRCA race
Care to elaborate?
Winner was DQ’d for advancing in jogger’s lane.
Not exactly: “Winner was DQ’d for advancing in jogger’s lane.”
Which race did the winner get DQ’d?
I’m convinced Old4 is some crochety old man who should be competing in group rides. Either that or he’s got some OCD statistical thing about crashes. He’s the Rain Man of crashes. Can’t wait to hear his crash report next week.
Whole team Dq’d as a result of trouble
in the A race
What part of “Woman’s Field” in the subject line did you miss?
the part in the title 😮
A rain of fire could easily turn the course into lakes of fire. If I’m riding all the way out to Floyd for the race, I don’t think it is too much for me to expect that the promoter has inspected the course and believes it is safe to race on before they run another sketchy race. I will expect a posting of the conditions at around 4:30am.

interviewing the winner of a club race that starts 1 minute after the sun comes up, and finishes before 90% of the city wakes up. what is sadder–that no one outside of the small community of racers cares, or that someone thinks they do?
btw, can a club race be a p123?
http://www.crca.net/2011/05/521-results/
You are right, nobody outside the NYC cycling community gives a shit. It is for that reason we post it on the NYC cycling website.
Also, I am going to go out on a limb and assume you didn’t win.
These are pretty much most of the photos from the Pro123 field. Still have a handful to go through, near the end of the race. They should be available by tomorrow night. Cat 4 and 5 photos should also be available by tomorrow night.

for the brain trust you are, it must’ve been rather easy to deduce i didn’t win. for i wasn’t interviewed with the mouth piece they give retarded people in efforts to prevent them from biting off their own tongues.
the point has more to do with the fantastical idea that an interview of the winner of a meaningless club race is of interest to any one–even the narrow niche that is local racing. but, for whatever reason, i guess it is to you, so my apologies. i hope it gives you insight to winning a race one day, as you too didn’t win. but, i’m going out on a limb there. maybe you did.
What is wrong with you? Are you on EPO also? so faisty.

I like bikes!
I like the interviews that Charlie I. and “Wngedfeet”are doing. Thanks for the videos. I only wish you didn’t pan the finish because it’s hard to see that way.
Here’s another post race interview with Olsen, talking about how it felt to win his first CRCA race..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY
i can agree more. We need more races in the afternoon and closer to the inner city.
It was the 3rd place woman, not 1st place, that was DQed for rec lane violation.
