Hi Folks,

Prospect Park racing is coming soon:

https://www.bikereg.com/Net/18663

The next 2 Fridays (March 15th and 22nd) I'm going to lead rides focused on learning the ins and outs of racing in Prospect. 

I'll shoot for a 4:45 PM start time at Grand Army Plaza, and will be riding until at least 6:45. I know not everyone can get out of work that early so you're welcome to get there when you can. 

I'd love it if some experienced prospect racers joined us. I'm sure there will be some questions that only former green jersey winners can answer. 


EDIT: I just had an important meeting scheduled for Friday, so I will have to call this Friday off. 



Homer. Doh!


I'll be out with Michael doing an openers workout and then riding afterwards. I'll lend my experience about racing in the park, but Mike seems to be much more of a natural in the park.

lol. auto correct. Former green jersey winners. 
heading out for a couple laps, probably only 3. will leave triangle around 8.  phone not logged into forums, so if you'd like me to wait at GAP text me @ (774) 219-4511
6pm tempo GAP.

WOOT!!!!
Wednesday free?
5:30 or 6pm tempo?? Any takers?
I will be out riding tempo tomorrow starting about 5 or if lucky,a bit earlier. Come join the fun.
How late do you guys stay out?
@ David - I'll be out there for close to 2 hours.  
Owens and I will be in the park 3-5. tempo
@ mperlberg - cool, I'm usually stuck in the office pretty late, but if I leave "on time" i can get to the park by 7 if you're still out.  I enter PP from the southwest corner at the bottom of the hill so will look for Kissena kits.
I'll be in the park around 6:20 wearing really random kit. All my warm Kissena stuff is in the laundry.
I will probably be out there tonight in PP from 7:30 to 9pm.
Haven't checked this thread in months. But Ryan and I rode today.

It was awesome.

We held hands.

I won.
Jeff made me ride tempo so I "rode tempo" after he won.
Uh oh. Does ride tempo for Jeff still mean touch you in your special place?
he has moved onto pinching.
Jeff Owens is being slandered here. I was the one who made David ride tempo.
Oops, apologies to Owens.  To pay penance, I'll be out riding tempo around 7p tonight at PP.

david -- if jeff's tempo equates to his touching your special place, get the fuck out of the park when he asks you to do threshold.

Planning to hit the park around 7-8p for mixed riding.  Any other 5s in?
I'd be down for a 7pm ride.
I'll be in the park around 6:45 doing some 5:00 VO2 efforts. Come vomit with me.
Jeff, Sounds like fun. See you at 6:45 at Grand Army Plaza?

Rockin dark blue kit until the new duds come in.
@Jacob Kislevitz - I come in at the southeast corner of the park can meet up w/you wherever as I do a lap.  All black kit on a white steel schwinn.

@Jeffrey White - That sounds horrifying...and something I should probably learn how to do.  Will try to catch up to you and "sit in" while you recover if you don't mind.
I will be at GAP at 6:45.
Think i missed everyone and ended up busting myself up.  Inspired by the break on Sunday, I practiced jumping from the crosswalk on top of the hill and maintaining a high tempo as long as possible.

Then a guy in sweats on a Trek hybrid with a squeaky chain passed me.

<sad trombone>
I'll be there around 6:45 doing some tempo.
