Great job this weekend John, two more 2nd places and extending your huge lead in the overall!!! Tactics for both days were as usual; stay well represented up front, shut anything down that looked dangerous and try to get a good lead out for John. Had four guys line up for Sat. Not much happened the first two laps with no more than 1-2 guys attacking at one time and they never got far up the road. Organic rider attacked on HH the last lap and I put in a big effort to chase it down and subsequently slipped back to mid pack on the rollers. Was making my way back to the front on the straight section before Tavern when a reckless velocity rider ran into me locking handlebars. Did a little wobble wobble, dropped a load in my trousers but managed to stay upright and get untangled. However, lost a lot of momentum and started to fall off the back. Got back at the front of the race by the boathouse but it was too late to help John in the sprint. Mitch was in good position and did a great a lead out, and John did the rest from there.

Had 5 guys for today’s race. Brian we missed you, but not your vomit. Don’t think my kit could handle it after crappin in them the day before. The Ks raced a great race today and another 2nd for John. That guy has huge engine and is so consistent week after week. Really makes racing that much more enjoyable knowing we have a guy like that for the sprint. Kissena was well represented up front the whole race. Nothing got up the road without a K in it. Third lap I came to front on the left turn just off the downhill. There was a moderate headwind so put my head down to tried to keep a steady pace. I was peeling off after my turn and the rider behind burns past and said lets go, we have a gap. I tried jumpin on, but was too dam slow to bridge back up. Was surprised we had a gap, but later found out they were blocking for me. Sorry guys, blew that one. I forgot to charge the battery to my race radio and too stupid to turn around. Took the fourth lap off to recover. 5th lap went to the front again on flat part after the hill to pick up a dreadfully slow pace. The front was 3-4 guys across and were about to have their morning tea and scone. Really tried to hammer it from there, through the downhill to potholes at which point I dropped back again to recover for the final lap. This ended up being a mistake as I had a difficult time moving back up. Got locked in on the inside on the flat part above the hill and couldn’t make much headway on the downhill. On the left turn at the bottom, a rider 2-3 spots in front nailed a cone and hit the deck. Thankfully for the pack he flew off to the left into the runners lane. Unthankfully for me, the cone went to the right and conveniently came to rest right in my path. Luckily I hit it head on which just popped me in the air a bit and not off my bike. But, just like the day before I found myself losing momentum, falling off the back and of course, an now had extra load in my trousers. I got back to the pack just in time for a group of 10+ riders to hit the deck. I was far enough to the outside not get caught up in it, but had to swerve and slow down. Had no energy to chase at this point and I would not have been able to help John, so I sat up. I believe he got a nice lead out from Dan, I think, but I'll let John tell you how the sprint unfolded.

All in all it was a fun wknd of racing (my trousers might disagree) and John again really delivered for the team. A huge congrats again to you and rest of the guys for working so hard.
We did what we could, still not bad. You didn't have nearly as much help as the Scottos guys. 7 or 8 I think? Plus, I'm not sure how many of them are 3's. Sorry I couldn't lead you out longer, but I was pretty burnt from trying to cover too many breaks with those guys (which started on the first lap). I think they were doing the same thing we thought of: try breaks to gobble up points and barring that, they have about 4 guys taking Francisco to the line. I just didn't have it in me to do both. I should either do one or the other, or at least cover fewer breaks. I had to peel off or I just would've been in your way when they shot past.

BUT, now that I know who Francisco is, I'll mark him more and not the entire team!

Yesterday at Johnny Cakes, Patrick got fifth and Ian had a nice mad flyer on the last lap. Favorite part of the day was the multiple simultaneous crashing going up hill on the last lap when people decided it was a good time to stand up and sprint wildly all over the road. F'n Keystone Kops. Oh, and the plan that one of the other riders came up with to attack at a certain point with a couple of the other strong riders. We get to the said "point" and I turn it up a little.....a bit later I look back for someone else to take a turn....I'm alone. What happened to the PLAN?!?!?! This is not how the A-Team gets one to come together. Frenemies. Funny how the wind changes your mind.
Hah. I didn't realise you actually hit that guy's cone. Lucky.

Was quite a good race this morning in PP. I felt that we as a team really controlled the whole situation except the last lap, which was a bona fida cluster f*uck!

We basically planned to have us all at the front all the time; plan worked. At the start line we all started at the front and off we went. I think that we might have done this too well (see below) At the top of the hill on the first lap of 7, 2 guys made a jump so I thought that in order to save our legs chasing, I'd hop on. I did this. Some guy was at the front of our trio in a black jersey (no team) and didn't want to peel off. Oh well, don't mind. I didn't think that it would stay away for the whole race and din't mind when we were brought back after one lap. Almost at the exact same place at the top of the hill another two tried, so I jumped on again, this time I did pull but by the time we'd rotated once or twice we were brought back-may have been a Kissena charge, not sure (John, any ideas ?? ;) After that, sat back, pulled back a break once or twice and then we got near the end of the race. The last lap was mayhem. People just decided to become unpredictable and skitty and then try to ramp up the pace from all positions-people were zooming past me from behind in a rather unpredictable way. Apparently a proportion of Cat 5s don't care about line or announcing when you're passing from behind, some tried to get position off of the course, hence the guy who hit the cone in front of Andrew which I saw. Was really hard top get good position at this point and then there was the hand grenade in the pack with about a mile to go which took out a load of guys. Fortunately not me this week. It was hard to get a good position as a result and although I saw Dan providing an amazing leadout for John, there was no way I could maneuver to help. I saw the final sprint and came in 10/11 myself. Great stuff Dan. Great stuff John.

For next week I think we can do exactly the same except we should all get to the front on the penultimate lap and then we can ramp up the pace from the last lap bell and not let others dictate this to us. WIth more than just Dan in the lead out John can definitely get 1st (I think, although he does seem kind of keen on 2nd!!).

Great race guys- did really well. Already signed up for next week at PP.
Adam
You guys are crushing it. Great job these last two weekends.

In terms of controlling the pace in the last lap at PP, I think controlling the whole last lap is a big ask, but if you've got 4 or so guys still riding strong, taking over on the backside downhill, through the left handed funnel sweeper into pot-hole alley, where the field will naturally single or double file up, is the place to do it. There's a lot of wide road after the pothole stretch, and guys will be jumping around like mad, but if you've got guys drilling it so they have no choice other than to single file it up, then that would be loverly.

Last lap heroes will be going hard on the hill after the finish line on bell lap, so all you have to is follow wheels there, and wait until they crest the climb with shattered dreams, and have a few guys ready to go with the counter-attacks. They usually die down after shoosing through the esses up top, and guys, on the last lap often mentally and physically take a break heading into the descent.

That's one place where Kissena can pick up the pace nice and steady and go about the business of keeping the field in a fair amount of pain.
Race report day II pleeeese! Inquiring minds on the IR want to know.
Posted By: briancrowSorry I missed y'all this morning, I hope John kept the jersey. I managed to wake up on time for the race, but the aftereffects of the night before convinced me that if I were to actually show up, there was a good chance I was gonna vomit all over the peloton. Figured it wasn't worth it. See y'all next weekend, I vow not to be too hungover to race next Sunday.
Brian, throwing up on the leader's jersey would probably be an improvement in style...if you don't want to throw up in a race you're not racing hard enough.
Hey all, there's some great pics here of today's race:

Race report to follow.
my race on saturday felt good, save for a botched finish

i was on attack-covering duty from the start with Myles and Rene

went of the front with Chabanov for half of the second lap, then took off alone before the downhill on the third lap

the Break Of The Day caught me on the Westside. JP was in it and we motored along for the next two and a half laps

it was 15 or so strong (maybe more) but a few weren't pulling, so i'm not sure

there were a few attacks out of the break (Brian Breach/Burrowes and then Chad Butts/JVB guy) but it all came back.

on the last lap into horseshit alley, tadeusz and an adler attack and i followed and i THINK we had a gap (not totally sure)

at this point, i heard "The Voice", i.e., my body yelling at me that this was the moment to attack, but for some lame reason, i got scared about repeating what happened at grant's tomb and crapping out with 200 to go

so we just screwed around and sat up and then, in the sprint, i shifted up rather than down and totally blew it

i was convinced i had gotten 10th, but AVD's cameras proved 11th

wicked bumma!

still, i'm real happy with my form, and JP and I had some good chemistry until the brain drain and subsequent communication breakdown in the finale

while it might not always be the "smartest" move to make, i've found that the only sure fire way to not feel regretful after a race is to listen to The Voice and do what it says
I think this photo shows exactly what our race was like. Scotto was really running the show in much of the race. We held on as best we could with Jeff, Joe, Norm & myself, but it is hard to beat a team of 8(thousand) riders all trying to make the as hard as possible.

to add to Saturday's coverage...

People don't talk about how the wind can make a difference in CP and PP, but it can. This Saturday's Central Park race demonstrated that with the right crosswind, the field can get blown to bits. Early on, there were some moves that weren't total smackdown efforts, but were hard and caused the field to split in half. Luckily, we had two people in the leading half every time it happened.

William's roll with Chabanov demonstrated that the field was riding scared. Adler let the gap grow. People weren't ready to chase it down, and teams were looking at one another, afraid to make the first move.

William did an excellent job drawing a small group away from the field. I think it was four guys or so and did it coming off the downhill at the north end. I followed Breach over the top of the hill, down the other side and that drew another 8 riders or so. I had a free ride up to William's group.

There weren't many attacks from the break, but there was trouble brewing. once Stalin Quitero thought hte break was established, he sat at the back. Then Gavi bridged, and he, too, sat at the back. He didn't want to give Stalin a free pass since Stalin is 2nd in series points. There were a few others skipping pulls. Will Schneider, Tad Marzalek missed a bunch and pulled through poorly for the rest. Jermaine was also being very careful with his efforts.

the last time up 110berg, Brian attacked. Jermaine got on right away. William yelled for me to go, but I was boxed in at the moment, and then decided that Jermaine wouldn't ride with Brian and we didn't need to worry. That was right. After our regrouping, William got in a split. that was brought back. Chad went at Tavern. I got up to him solo, but we got chased down just as we started north. The group slowed. Gavi finally came to life. He got chased down. We slowed. then I saw Jermaine going for it at 72nd. I followed. Was in 2nd position through the curves and the straightaway and then my legs started bogging down. lost the wheel, then another, then got jammed in a group that was muscling by. That was it. 11th for william, 12th for me. Jermaine won, Stalin 2nd, Gavi 3rd.

I'd like to think my failure in the sprint was because my knee was bruised from smashing my handlebars on lap 2, but I don't know. probably could have started farther back.
My girlfriend Laura was taking pics at the race today too. I have attached one for your safety. In first place is Bowling-Ball guy. Pay attention and avoid in the future! Second: Josh. Third: the poor guy who took a big fall in the centre of the pack on the last lap. 4th: me.

So, watch out for a big guy, white bike and jersey and a scraggy grey beard. Also, it must have been near the bottom of a hill as he is blurry as he is so fast.
Thanks Adam. Go team bowling ball! I think you can see the road bending underneath him.

Congrat's again and huge thanks to the team for riding to keep me in the points jersey. Hopefully I can lock down the series in the next two! Super happy our team was crash free this weekend.

Windy Saturday 19th, CP:
David, Mitch, Andrew great job
Andrew was very active at the front chasing NYVelo attacks and counters. As I mentioned, Mitch gave me a great lead-out at finish when NYVelo train faltered. Although he did pull off a bit short, he really stretched the field and that meant it was a long way to the finish line if you were pos. 8 or later. I didn't want to go from before bottom of hill (headwind) and eased, but paid the price when dude in green with momentum took a flyer on opposite side of road for 1st. I ended up having to go and groveled up the hill for second.

Sunday 20th, PP:
Andrew, Dan, Josh, Adam great job (Andrew nice double duty).
C-c-c-cold: around freezing. We rode as a unit first few laps which was awesome and I think intimidating to the bunch to see all those jerseys lined up. I did mistakenly try to bridge to Adam (my bad, good lesson in paying attention). Seemed to me there was little or no organization‚ a lot of people sitting in with a few strong riders taking huge pulls (maybe triathletes training?). Kissena was in all the breaks. Dan punched it on the home stretch, took me to the front put some hurt on the bunch. Last 550 there were guys marking me, two guys jumped @ 250m, I had to chase and reeled one guy in on the line to take 2nd with a throw. My takeaway was I should out of the seat, and ready earlier, be looking around a bit more so I can grab the wheel if need be. Totally agree with Marc re lead out tactics for PP, we did intend to make that happen, but not sure if we had the organization/firepower today. I'd like to practice the team lead-out train this Wednesday, PP @ 7pm. Holler back if you can make it.

A few things/observations:
• Taking a pull: We needn't be taking monster pulls unless we're chasing a break. Just roll through quickly and signal you've done your lap with elbow.
• Crashes: Harping on, but, be at the front at all times in Cat 5, especially through the hairy bits and the final lap.
• Cones/hazards: As per Norm's instructions, beware of the cones. And beware of some crazy bastard out of bounds trying to move up while riding slalom around them. Last week I was riding flat-out, 30 plus mph, second wheel (of the whole bunch!) and nailed a tipped cone dead center just like Andrew today. A good reminder that I shouldn't rely on other riders to identify hazards in the road, esp. when it's fast.
• Race results: The race officials can't tell who's who at the finish (the video footage is very blurred). So if you do place, make sure you are there to identify yourself on the tape and sign the log. Jorge, I talked to AJ about your unrecorded third place and he said to email him about it. He didn't seem very keen to change anything, but please follow up to make sure he knows they messed up. Do you have trophy? That was my leverage point.
• Lulls: If it lulls like it did today a couple of times we should really be attacking immediately—we want to practice being as aggressive as possible especially when we have numbers.
• Recruitment: Ask these guys who get a top 5 to come join Kissena! The guy who won today is unattached and was keen, especially when he heard you can ride FB for free. THINK SALES PITCH! Actually, it'd be cool to have a benefits of membership spiel on our site: discounts, clinics, free races, exemption from red light tickets etc.

Cheers!
Did anyone have any words or hear any fallout regarding the daffy pace Pathfinder? I really could make out what was happening, except that the driver seemed to have gotten separated from his race, panicked, then moved ahead --pedestrians and cyclists be damned-- left of the cones at alarming speeds.

As for the racing... I worked at staying closer to the front and covering moves (and I think I was a little better this race). And early move is stuck in my head --I covered a lap 2 move made by some Scotto rider, followed by Lance Sniadowski... chasing these guys down took what felt like a very long time --a sort of Hellish warm-up that I sort of recovered from, but as the race moved on, the several other breaks I covered seemed always to begin with rather heavy pain followed by nothing by prayers that something would slow the bastards down. Strangely, my heart & lungs relatively OK, but the leg pain was a rack. And although I was happy to receive this pain to help along the team effort for Joe, I faltered off the front on the final hill and tapped-out trying to get back up to the front for the trains. Apologies for that tap-out.

I don't know if it's that I didn't race this early last year or if these cat4 races are just more intense than last year's cat5, but I definitely feel rather unfit. And so I'll just focus on improving my physical readiness and the all-important awareness and decision-making on the race course.

Thanks fellow 4s for tolerating my awkwardness in these early races.
Ha, that picture is so true. You just don't see the other two thirds, up the road and lurking behind.

Norm, you did great. I asked you how you were feeling at the back one time, and even though you said not so good, you "manned up" (mid-term election tribute, thank you bachmann, odonnell, etc) and covered another couple of moves that I was in no condition to. So you showed some guts and it's early in the year. There were only like 4 people doing anything in the race other than Scottos and Kissena, so unless you're just sitting in, it's gonna be a bit harder. And the Scottos guys really spread the work around. None of them did more than a couple of efforts during the race, saving it for the end, just in case. They were much more organized than say, Hudson, who also had a few riders but don't seem very cohesive. I heard a couple of guys making fun of the Scottos riders for bitching about people "screwing up their train" on the last lap, as if everyone should just step aside and let them form it with ease. Heh.

And like Woj found out last week, even though it's not a crit, if you're floating towards the back of the pack, I find the race is much harder than at the front. Sure, I don't have anything left for the sprint (which I suck at anyway), but with the various levels of fitness, the constant accordion effect makes small inclines and some corners a continual effort to catch back on b/c the less fit in the back 25% will let gaps form a lot. All those repeated accelerations take a toll. But if you're at the front you know what's going on, and you're more likely to miss the indiscriminate crashes.

Yeah, the pace cars....uh, who knows. Too much wacky tobacky.
John,

If you find Cat 5s receptive to joining Kissena, please point them in my direction. I can help with the sales pitch for joining.

The reason why we don't say what the discounts and benfits on the site are we want people to be interested in riding with Kissena as teammates and quality club members rather than just seeking discounts. If we posted the potential discounts we would have many many more members of the club, but they would probably not be contributing to the racing just looking for the next veltech order or when they can order a new powertap.

I think the point is that we would rather have people who want to race, who get the discounts because they're contributing to racing as a team, rather than people who in it just for discounts.
Thanks Dan, will do. That's a really good point you make, I can see how my last post looked like I was suggesting we should start telemarketing Kissena discounts.
Is there a memorable email that we can give out if you're not around, I just pointed these guys to the Kissena site.
Now I'm off to flip Marc's wheels on Ebay. :^)
Just have them send any inquiry to president@kissena.info. That email goes to me, and i can give them the Kissena pitch. Most of what i do is take from the existing Kissena handbook, which is posted on this forum under "Kissena Handbook" and tries to get to the gist of what our purpose is and how to get involved and hooked into what Kissena is.

The standard new member message is:

We are an amateur cycling club focused on making bicycle racing available to everybody in NYC. We promote road and track races throughout the year in various venues in NYC. We have members who race road, track, cyclocross and mountain disciplines throughout the northeast, and sometimes beyond.

We run regular training rides throughout the city, so if your interested in meeting Kissena members please feel free to join us for a ride to meet members. We have a regular Sunday ride, that meets at 8AM on the Brooklyn Bridge, and 9AM on the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge for a ride 50 to 60 mile ride.

Sunday's race.

Seemed like a small field. We had Keith, Myles, and myself.

We rolled out slowly. Felt like it was going to be a negative race and we'd end up duking it out for a field sprint at the end of 14 laps. Someone would attack, we'd go like crazy to chase him down, then people would sit up. After following this scenario several times, I tried using what I hoped to be the confusion of the chase to my advantage. A split would occur, I'd be behind it, I'd follow Keith up to the back side of it and I'd keep going past the group keeping my cadence high as if I was just rolling past. The field would string out and catch me and then slowed down. Tried it a few more times, nothing.

At some point, Brian Breach (Mengoni) attacked. He had the biggest team in the race. Wasn't a strong attack; we were just going slowly. A guy from Garneau went with. It was just hanging out there, just far enough away to be hard to bridge. Then Dan Zmolik of AXA tried to bridge. I tried to get on his wheel, but didn't make it (he's had some international success this year). And when I tried to get a chase going, his teammate was on my wheel and wasn't going to help. Neither was much of the field.

For the next several laps, we tried to get things going one way or another. I'd attack or go with an attack. When I was brought back, Myles would take up the chase. Then Keith would try to keep the pace high, but the field would let him roll away, and that would then spur on the field until they caught him. Repeat. Sometimes it would change up as Keith would inspire a few to attack up to him and then they'd quit. Lots of teams were sitting in expecting someone else to do the chasing.

With six or five to go, I picked up the pace on the flats. Unknowingly, I pulled away three other riders. Kevin from Adler, and two guys who probably shouldn't have been there. Kevin can ride, and did, but the other two were having problems from the first minute. Not a great scene, but I figured if we could keep them with us for a while and establish a gap, then others might bridge and we'd have a real chase group. They did come, after a lap of freedom, but by then, the field was close behind, and the reinforcements brought wheelsuckers and that put an end to the chase.

Over the hill for the last time, and the field started splitting up. I kept near the front in case this could be the odd time when an attack from the field survived to the finish. Before I knew it, I had two guys with me and we had our freedom. Kevin from Adler and Jared from Mengoni. Jared wasn't drilling it, but he wasn't sitting on. Couldn't tell if he was tired or holding back. Down the hill, around the turn, through the potholes, we were still free. I was dying. Only a little longer. And with 250 to go or so, one, then two then the front of the field sprinted by. I don't think Kevin or Jared got anything either. Zmolik won; the field seemed tiny at the end.
For general craziness. Switching bananas would fit his MO. About 6 -7 years ago, when the club with an influx of new members, Victor joined. He had plans of going EuroPro and acted like it on and off the bike. Every time something didn't go right, he would get extremely belligerent and accusatory, mainly on line through his postings on the groups site. He was asked multiple time to reconsider who he addressed his fellow members and other cyclists in general, especially while wearing a Kissena jersey. He always was agreeable when spoken to about it, but never followed through. Eventually his posts were monitored and censored. Finally, he was asked to leave the club.

It was a difficult and unsettling situation for all trying to deal with the situation.

What???? please link.
Let me just say this. I don't know the guy, but...

I think this story indicates one truth that I like about Kissena as a cycling club. We're not strict about much, but...

I like to think we have an informally not-so-secret, "no douche-bag," and or "tool" rule.

So, all please keep that in mind when you are approaching people to join our club. There are plenty of strong guys out there, that I have no interest in riding with.
Marc,

I think the inclusiveness of Kissena is that deterrent. those folks are of the type who as Groucho Marx said "I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member" they self select looking for some sort of exclusive club, which we are explicitly not.
<blockquote><cite>Posted By: Jeff Owens</cite>

Norm, you did great...

</blockquote>

Thanks for the encouragement Jeff.

I'll continue working on bring at the front, responding to the right moves, initiating the right moves, and building on communicating with you guys during the race. And I can't wait til Ye Olde Early Morning Park Workouts resume... I get better training there than on my own or with ad hoc groups.

With those things plus slapping the Edge tubulars back on the bike, I think I'll soon be very fit to help us turn-up the pain on the competition.
Cat 5 field for this Sunday is already full up - we've got 7 guys in the field.

I'm feeling a lot stronger after my ride up and around the Battenkill last Sunday, so I'm bound and determined to be well in the mix and up front this weekend to help John M. keep the Maglia Violetto e Porpora.

Any thoughts on strategy based on last week's PP race, captain?
With 7/50, we should probably expand our repertoire of tactics. We are usually very defensive (chase down everything). How about getting a couple of guys into a proper, whole hearted break? Of course, this will leave two less guys for final lead out (assuming the break is caught) but with seven that should still leave enough power at the end, even with two down.

Adam
David, great to hear! Adam, I agree, there are no other teams with more than two riders. I propose we get two riders who are feeling strong up the road. I'd be happy to tow them off and then fall back to the bunch (if I can't hang). The trick is to do this when everyone is suffering (just after or near the top the hill is a good place). Then we can have 5 guys blocking at front of bunch instead of chasing all these little breaks all day.

If bunch is together last lap, I'd need a full team train at start of final downhill. That means we'd need to be assembled near the front (but not at the front) going around the back. I don't see why we can't have two guys placing if we do this right, as we definitely have enough horsepower. If you're burnt, you can just roll through when it's your pull. It's more important to make the train long so it's a long way to the front for the competition. We'd need to discuss sequence on the day, but someone like Jorge or Mitch last rider would be awesome!

We have the exciting first FBF of the season on Saturday and a classic Spring Series Prospect on Sunday.

I'm planning on doing this double. Anyone joining me?
Who's racing what?

We've got Spring Series Sunday, FBF Saturday, Bethel Sunday and what else?
