DLS!
The sponge that is the New York Metropolitan area has nearly reached its saturation point, and really needs a good squeezing; but with no sun in sight; let us instead turn to our area’s cycling options.
On Sunday the CRCA will be holding a memorial ride for Nancy Morgenstern. The ride will head north to Rockland Lake and registration begins at 7:30am at Grant’s Tomb. More information is here.
Sunday also has the Campmor H2H Rumble in the Jungle Mountain Bike Race, which will be held in the former location of the drive through animal theme park, Jungle Habitat, which to me seems has to be the inspiration for the Discount Lion Safari, and if you get that reference, you are getting old (it’s almost 20 years old now).
Photos from the Kissena Fall Classic are here. I will get the 5s up later today.

The Simpsons is like an aging bike racer, it doesn’t quit it just keeps churning out podium spots at Floyd.
THIS SUNDAY!

Hi I am Rasssmussen and I use SRAM.

Four-time track cycling world champion Alex Rasmussen of Denmark was suspended Thursday by his national federation over missed doping tests and fired by his team.
Rasmussen has missed three tests in the last 18 months. He received two warnings from his national anti-doping agency and one from the cycling UCI governing body, Denmark’s Cycling Union said on its website.
“Alex Rasmussen has been suspended and the Sports Confederation of Denmark’s doping council will raise a case against him,†the cycling body said in a statement. “Alex Rasmussen cannot take part in next week’s world road cycling championship in Copenhagen.â€
HTC-Highroad, based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., fired Rasmussen after being notified of a new missed test and learning he missed two tests before joining the team in 2010.
“Mr. Rasmussen missed a test and additionally did not inform the team,†HTC-Highroad team manager Rolf Aldag said. “These are clear violations of the team’s code of conduct. We act on these violations immediately.â€
With HTC-Highroad soon to fold, the 27-year-old Rasmussen was expected to join the Garmin-Cervelo team in 2012.
