Prospect Park Weekday Training Sessions & Riding

1863 comments · 28564 views
i noticed some oddness with the po-po myself tonight. i was out for about an hour starting at 9:15 pm, and there were 2 cop SUV's doing super slow laps, and then stopping in the road in odd places and just sitting there, not moving. they didn't bother me, either, but it was certainly strange. the only other excitement was when i got dropped by 2 guys on Kawasaki crotch rockets that came out of nowhere and scared the bejeebus out of me.
I was out for two hours and saw the police positions and moving about --seemed like their normal stuff on nights when the ramble is alight with brooklyn characters ---actually, I wonder if people come to the park from Long Island and Jersey to get-on some dark carnival in the labyrinths of the park. Anyhow, the other and more troubling goings-on in the park (but no less common than the above) are all the commuter cyclist who roll into the park from various side entries and proceed to cross the 2 traffic lanes without looking for what might --and often is-- coming in their very direction. How can the club help promote basic principles of self-preservation among are fellow humans, both pedestrian and cyclist? That's another thread though...
I have been meaning to mount my Monkey Lights to jazz up the park...
There has been a rape of a woman jogger ( a german au pair) in the park last fall which may explain increased police presence during evenings.
anyone want to do some Intervals with me around 2ish?

Saw a few friendly faces this evening; Dan "Strange Animal" Reiners, Norm "The Cannibal", Whitey and Alyosha... also pretty sure I saw Elvis throw down a 45 second hill time, but it was dark out so yo ucan never be sure.
