Welcome to the Tue, 09/13/2010 – 02:00 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.
Bear Results http://www.crca.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010FallBear1.htm
Long-time CRCA members are forming a new CRCA subteam for strong Cat 4s with and without an interest in upgrading. We have a title sponsor and will have 10 +/- riders in 2011. If you raced Cat 4 in 2010 or before, or Cat 5 in 2010 for a team that provided substantial coaching and are interested, please send an email to:

OH, and bring on the Cat 4 jokes…because they never get old…
cat 4 jokes will continue until “strong cat 4’s” with no ambition to upgrade stop banding together into groups that self-identify as “strong”
A cat 5 with experience in 10 races walks into a bar with a dog, claiming the dog can talk. “I’ll show you for a beer,” he says. The bartender slides a beer to him, and the cat 5 with experience in 10 races asks the dog, “Fido, what is that above our heads?” The dog says, “Rooff!” The irritated bartender says, “That’s just a bark, try again.” The cat 5 with experience in 10 races says, “OK, how about this – Fido, who was the best baseball player of all time?” The dog says, “Rooth!” Annoyed, the bartender then throws both of them out, and the dog says, “Sorry, ya think I shouldda said DiMaggio?”
cat4 jokes….
what do you call 4 cats chasing a squirrel? park race…
Two dozen!

“Anywhere from 15 to 25 masters, elite and pro cyclists have been notified of non-analytical violations as a result of having allegedly conspired with Papp,”
i usually don’t give half a rat’s ass about doping at any level, but i can’t wait to see what master’s clowns were on juice. that is just too funny
lets see how many of Papp’s training friends will be schmeared…
TH where are you (Tour of Cuba, Univest???)???
MF….(America’s Cycling Team)???
a bunch of NE, NY, NJ, PA and Mid’West USA riders I would guess…
Guilty of Pot?3 months.
Any truth to the rumor why a NYC based team that had superior results at Bear decided to race against a field of mostly Cat 3’s as opposed to racing Univest?
What’s the rumor Vera? Please, spread rumors.
– Gossip girl, xoxo
Sir, are you implying that there’s something odd and suspicious about Mengoni’s revolving carrousel of Dominicans that seem to win races without taking deep breaths?
That’s just crazy.
And you are a racist fuck.
ummm, was the Bear field really “mostly Cat 3’s”? It looked to be more of the higher category riders present, with the majority of the 3’s not even bothering to register out of self-preservation.
I couldn’t care less whether they were Dominicans or WASPs from Connecticut, but they happen to be the former.
Your accusation is completely based on the fact the persons you accused are Dominican. The fact that they are national caliber athletes is meaningless to you. You are nothing but a rumor mongering troll.
Nittany was fun but CX is getting out of control. 90% of the racers were on carbon cross bikes with carbon tubs and a nice pit bike. The vibe was a bit intense with guys refusing to take warm up laps out of fear of loosing their start position. The growth of the sport is nice but the vibe is a changin…
Bunde is Dominican? What about the guy busted for attempting to import the Viagra?
Who cares where they’re from?? What’s important is the fact that they’re fucking dopers.
Wow, Papp is such a lousy, lousy, person. He writes such crap on the CN boards too. Idot.
There IS something pathological in Papp’s behavior – in defending himself, in admitting his guilt, in the way he is fingering and calling out other dopers. He’s Floyd with 1/2 a brain – and that might be even more demented.
You said “fingering.”
papp’s behavior is consistent with the majority of roadies

Gas chamber? Lethal injection? Firing squad? Crushing by giant elephant?
Seriously, this man seems like a waste of life.
Please accept me since I have no legs…
Papp was so good on the bike, if it weren’t for his drug problems he coulda made it to a solid D3 regional team and challenged for wins at races like the prestigious Sapulpa Route 66 Criterium. Now that’s a real shame when folks be throwin’ away a perfectly good white boy like that.
wait, who is tom cruise, and who is jack nicholson, in this cyclings = to a few good men?
papp smear is no tom cruise.
whatever happened with the saga of papp’s cuban wife? no snark, just wondering.
Papp and his Cubano split within a year or two of getting married. Not clear if the immigration thing was the reason – didn’t sound like that was the whole story.
