Welcome to the Tue, 08/05/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

sorry, i was just kidding w/ the anti-lazy guy. but thanks schmalz. sorry ’bout the crash, too, glad it was only minor
How come most top places last night went to riders with vowels at the end of their last names? Wonderin’…
There were at least 3 photographers at the race last night.
is this the start of “where are the pictures of me”..man, i hate this part.
vowels are more aerodynamic. consonants block the wind.
anyone know how he’s doing? went down pretty hard at floyd last night. looked bad.
That wasn’t a nice crash to watch. I think he hooked on an overhanging branch, it looked like it caught him under the arm on the chest, and it ripped him hard off his bike. Ugly crash. Hope he is doing well. He’s a class act on the bike.
Are the Rumbling Burrowes’ taking some time off from FBF or did they get banned? Not that it matters but last night was a fun race, good natured, lots of chatting, some fun attacks. Subtle encouraging by Charlie that we were going to get caught by the 3/4’s. I think proper etiquette would be for Charlie to tell the 3/4’s to slow down to better allow the more experienced racers to play out the complicated tactical moves that were dictating our leisurely pace.
Hello,
It seems that David has an acromioclavlicular seperation to his shoulder, and possibly some other shoulder-related injuries. He spent some time in the ER last night but was not admitted and will be going to see the orthopaedic surgeon tomorrow. Otherwise, he’s pretty bruised up and covered in road rash.
You are correct about the branch – it hooked his handlebars and took him down pretty hard. His jersey looks like it was attacked by wild dogs!
Apparently his bike is in decent shape, but it hasn’t made it’s way home yet so we shall see.
Thanks for all the calls & emails,
Lori
Ed Beamon Interview! NOW!
Hey I know this is one of those “someone should do something” requests, but could someone who drives to FBF bring some garden shears or something to cut that vine in turn 1. I’ll cut, but it would be tough to carry shears in my jersey pocket. Branches are fine, but this thing was just waiting to grab someone’s bars. Too bad it ended up in such a bad crash. Here’s to a speedy recovery Dave!
I have shears and I can bring them, but I will be needed to be reminded on Tuesday as I remember in bursts. Also, cutting those vines won’t be an issue witht the parks guys, will it?
how come nobody is talking about kirk obee getting busted for the second time? this is news!!
because kirk o’bee is not in central park and he’s not on tv.
why don’t kissena members ever do crca races? can you not be a member of both?
