Wish I could be there next Saturday (3/5) for the 1/2/3, and get my speed on.  But alas, I can't swing it. :(
I'm planning on being there for some Masters action. Any other old guys in?
I might be there too. This weekend really got me excited about racing.
Yeah, come on @DavidHocker
I see a lot of talk on this forum about this Saturday's Branchbrook race, but the bikereg.com page says only @RileyHoonan and @Phil Maronilla have registered for Cat 4/5 races. I just registered for Cat 4/5 Race #2. Pre-registration closes in ten hours. Who else is in? The more Kissenas that race, the more people we can commiserate with about the sub-freezing air temperature.
Oh, I missed @EduardSpektor, who has registered for 4/5 Race #2. My apologies. 
Day of registration is a thing.
I plan to day-of.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing both. 
I just registered for race #2. Peer pressure and commitment through pre-registering work wonders on me. 
Know what else is a thing? Hype. Also, the experience of opening the bikereg.com page, looking at the weather forecast, imagining how cold and dark it will be, remembering how disgraceful it is that you can't use your unlimited MetroCard on the PATH train, going back to bikereg.com to see who else is registered, seeing your teammates' names, and feeling like you've got an expectation to live up to. The merely human among us might could use a little arm-twisting. 
I can drive two people from Brooklyn or along Canal Street (weather permitting). Who's in?
Since I'm only planning on doing the second race, I'll have to pass on the ride, @Jeffrey White , but thanks for the offer! See you guys there!
@Jeffrey White a ride sounds ~ awesome ~ where's good to meet?

My place. Will DM you.
Max's impassioned argument for early registration won me over.
Reg'd for both
At home with a gnarly cough / chest thing. Fingers crossed it will ease up by this evening but in the likely event I'm not racing tomorrow somebody else should grab that car spot cc @Jeffrey White 

what time do you plan on leaving BK @Jeffrey White , i signed up for race #2 at 8AM...weighing my options
Leaving at 6 a.m.
im in if you still have room @Jeffrey White 
6 a.m. my place. Will DM you.
thank Christ.....cross season is finally over....oops did I just type that????
Results, bros?
No results but a good contingent of new kissena racers and a solid race for all. Condon and I got 10th in our respective first races. 35+ Condon got 12th. If White and I can work on a leadout for Condon we might do alright. 

Personally I need to work on my sprint pop but otherwise I felt okay threading through the pack. Good to be back in the mix.
Awesome stuff...yangs if u could just close that gap we could sprint repeats together...
Come on Yakitori, I spent my morning racing IRL and you're hung up on Zwift? As the kids say nowadays GTFOH.

HOTNESS !!!! anyone want to go race at that charming armpit of chewed up asphalt known as Floyd tomorrow???
Great to get out there again today.  However I stupidly forgot to take pictures and my phone was in the car. Did anyone else get any shots? If so just DM me so I can post. Thanks.
