There’s a preposterously large amount of racing and riding to be found this weekend, so I will dispense with any smarty-pants-ed-ness and just list the options for glory.

Up in Vermont, there’s the Tour of the Dragons on Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday morning there’s the Robert Ollivierra Memorial Race in Prospect Park.

On Sunday there’s the Berkshire Cycling Classic in Lenox, Massachusetts, with special guest includes Eric Zabel, and no, there’s not a special "San Remo" back drop set up, so you don’t get to have a picture taken throwing your bike in front of him.

Sunday also has the Race For The Wine at FBF, a race motivation I cannot think highly enough of. Also on Sunday is the Wawayanda Spring Cleaning in Hewitt, NJ. And finally, there’s the Tour of Colts Neck on Sunday.

I have raced track in Minnesota, Kissena and St. Louis (yes, there is a track there—kinda)

Thanks for the offer, but racing at Kissena will not happen for me for about another 10 years.

M Cowbell

Does anyone know if I could, or they would allow me to race at Waywayanda on a cx bike?

Would: It’s a rough course even for an MTB, I would not advise it

Could: Contact the promoter

Hello Everyone,

Results have been posted for today’s race on USAC.

http://www.usacycling.org/results/?permit=2012-1406

Congratulations to all on a excellent event in the park which ran smoothly.

If you do not show up in these results its most likely from one of the following reasons:
1. You MUST cross the line within a reasonable time period of the finish of your group to get an accurate result. We usually only record NO MORE than 2 minutes beyond the winner of the field sprint.
WHY? because another group would most likely be approaching or finishing within that 2 minute time period.
2. Improper number placement, Wrong side, middle of back or some other strange placement
3. folded, crunched up number. THESE DONT READ CORRECTLY and cause many errors on camera
4. Number not pinned correctly, flapping around, etc

Thanks,
David Sommerville
