Me and the hot guys. Sharp, sharp, sharp!


Tomorrow, Friday. Look Sharp. 6:30am. Prospect Park at the GAP.

We'll ride for 60 to 90 minutes. Rehashing the SuperCrossCup, sharing stories, tales, rumors, and urban legends.

So Join us. What else you are planning to do in the morning? Don't tell me "sleep", or "work" those two are overrated. I love you all, but if I don't see you there tomorrow, you are dead to me.

Wear Kissena kit, wear a good pair of socks and Look Sharp!

What is a Sharp looking rider you asked? Here: 


Tomorrow, Friday. Look Sharp. 6:30am. Prospect Park at the GAP.

We'll ride for 60 to 90 minutes at a social pace Zwiftless and free. Last time we did some Team Time Trial work and led @Matt Budofsky to break his Prospect Park hill record. He missed by 2sec... so close. If it's safe and the spirit moves us, we might try again.

Join us. The weather is cold, but that's why we are called Kissena ( for those of you who don't speak Chippewa, it means "It is cold"). If I don't see you there tomorrow, you are dead to me and you don't get my vote.

Wear Kissena kit and Look Sharp!

Like this one:


Dead and no vote... that’s harsh
*Sharp Update*
Woke up feeling sick... Will not come today. Sorry Sharpies.
@DotanGreenvald sick??? You’re dead to me
Tomorrow, Friday. Look Sharp. 6:30am. Prospect Park at the GAP.

We'll ride for 60 to 90 minutes at a social pace and talk about the elections - British elections, Israeli elections, and Kissena elections. All are equally important, and the world is watching in anticipation (and frustration).

Join us. The weather is cold, but not unbearably cold. Besides, cold is only a mental condition that simply sends electrical signals interpreted by our brains. Cold is an illusion that big cooperations of ugly-sweater manufacturers are selling us through popular culture. If I don't see you there tomorrow you are dead to me.

** This is my last LookSharp until I'm back from California on Jan 6th **

Get up, brush your teeth, wear Kissena kit to look sharp, and come ride bikes!

Take an example from these guys, now these are nice SharpLooking teeth:


Look Sharp Fridays is on tomorrow! 6:30 GAP, you bring your sharpest kit, I’ll bring mine, we’ll ride 60-90 minutes and soak up the relatively warm weather we’re supposed to get.
My fellow Brooklynites, it's looking like rain tomorrow morning (and the only thing worse than being cold is being wet and cold) so no official look sharp.

I'm going to play it by ear though: if it's dry, I'll be out there spinning my wheels, if it's wet I'll be Zwifting. I'm lazy and not looking to give my bike another thorough cleaning again this weekend.

Peace, love and tomorrow feels like a blueberry pancake kind of morning.
morning w James, no one flatted or was dropped

Anyone trying to look sharp and be frosty tomorrow morning?
Me, but as usual I would leave around 6:50
Tomorrow, Friday. Look Sharp. 6:30am. Prospect Park at the GAP.

We'll ride for 60 to 90 minutes to warm up our bodies. If we could utter a word in the expected temperature level than perhaps we can also talk and be social.. can't promise.

Join us for LookSharp ride, sub-zero edition. Zwift off a bit, to ride in the great outdoors Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed for us 153 years ago. Hop on as we circle around, it will be fun to see Kissenas ride together. I won't bite I promise. But... If I don't see you there tomorrow you are dead to me of course.

Get up, drink you organic, gluten-free, fair-trade, environmentally-conscious, non-GMO, non-NGO, sugar-free, salt-free, taste-free, green wrap certified, low-carbon footprint, non-processed, non-chimical, culturally-encouraged, range-free, freshly squeezed coffee, or water if that's your thing, wear Kissena kit to look sharp, and come ride bikes!

Dress well, that's all I'm saying:




I’m not sure we were “looking sharp” with our cold suffering faces, but we were there


Only ones riding in the park = sharpest ones in the park
@DiegoSanchez is that you smiling? Or did your face freeze that way? Today was a good day to Zwift 🤪
Today was also a good day to follow rule #5 to get to achieve rule #9

The rules are a dinosaur, the easiest path to not looking sharp is to follow them.

Haha, my comment was meant to be a gag, I did not mean to sound serious (I mostly never do).

By the way, I will be doing a Gran Fondo in Queretaro on March 7th. Some friends have done it, it's tough but with incredible views. Let me know if interested.
um... Diego, maybe..., it sounds kinda awesome! is there a link to checkout more info?
Look sharp Friday 0600 GAP

It's going to be a toasty 30 degrees. The pace will be relaxed and conversational. It'll be good time, you will be in good company, so come out and ride bicycles. 

Here's some sharping looking chaps in the land down under


Anyone trying to look sharp tomorrow? It's looking like things should dry up overnight.
Not sure this goes here but it was in PP.

I raced the Not So Friendly Laps last night, it was $10 entry fee, 8 lap race snowball prems. Each lap the prem went up by $5. My goal going into the race was try and win, but after about lap one and some calculations I figure why not try and get all the laps as well.

Each sprint was pretty much the whole hill until the grassy triangle at GAP. Avg of like 400+ watts to get the lap each time. Missed two lap prems, the second and the last one for the win. I cracked on the last sprint into the finish and just had nothing left. I managed to walk away with a $130 in prem lap prize money, which made for a great night

Pretty stoked to test the fitness, I feel like I am in a good place in terms of power. 20min power was 330 which Ive only done in a 20 min test. This race got me looking forward to the season and more park races.
sounds sounds like you found a side job... be careful out there, a lot of those dudes who race the NSFL races have no clue what they’re doing (muuuuuch worse than Cat 5).
Anyone for openers tomorrow? 
Anyone for openers tomorrow? 
What time honey?
I may hit the park later in the morning. I’m finally getting a power installed on my Venge, but I have to wait for Redbeard to open. So I’ll be there around 10:30/11
today march 14 10:30am GAP for a few chill laps
Posting here, as it is the usual place for look sharp...

Virtual Look Sharp.

Let's try a zwift meetup for look sharp this friday. 

Friday April 24 7:30am -- we'll ride about 40km very easy.

How to join:
1. Follow me on zwift
2. Let me know you want to join (post here, or text me: 347.225.1058)
3. I'll invite you to the meetup

Will probably pick a flatish course, I love watopia, but might pick another world to avoid virtual crowds, depending on interest we could setup a zoom.

Wear the 'classic 1' bumblebee jersey, and if you can orange hat, orange socks.
Available & keen. Appreciate the relaxed start time.
