@Mike, I am pretty sure that photo is you being brought back in one of the earlier moves.

big ups my dudes!

we got some NJ killers!

things to add to my Branchbrook Lessons Learned list: stop looking at the camera.

it's not that you keep looking at the camera.  it's that the camera keeps looking at you.
haha.. I don't look at the camera, but I know its there and when I pass it, I try to look good (ie, suck in my gut)

This is what inspired me to my 3rd place finish:



Grace is a former collegiate rugby player, and I can say with certainty that this viedo is more or less an accurate representation of what female rugby athletes look like.
So Branchbrook this week, my first race of the season. Which should I do, Cat 4/5 or Cat 4/5 35+ Masters? The latter requires an earlier start, but I would like to get a race in sooner rather than later.
Do both

Back to back Dan.  You know the drill :)
Do both (only $15 for the second).
And if you get dropped (you won't), don't stop.
Actually, why not the 35+?
You should do Cat 4/5 35+ followed by the 35+ open. I don't think you want to mess around with the 4/5, do you?

I'm in for Saturday. 35+ and 123 Have 2 spots in car. Leaving 630 from Bkyn. First come first serve.

Ouch, I am not going to be able to finish 2 races saturday. I could probably do one and then I'll be ready to take a nap. I think the 7AM race with 35+ Cat4 sounds most civilized (not getting my legs ripped off by the Master's hardmen). 

I'll be leaving Brooklyn at 5:45AM with room for two riders from Smith & Atlantic. Who wants a ride? 

I might saddle up for this - Masters 4/5 followed by open Masters.  Sounds brutal.
@danielhubbard ... I may take one of those spots if they're still free.
I am, regrettably, out this weekend.
Hubbs, I'll take a spot.
in a last-minute decision, i'm registered for the 4/5 this saturday
It'll be fun racing in the rain..  I'm in the 4/5 race as well.
oh god i hadn't even looked at the weather.  oh well.
I'll be in the 1/2/3.  Craig London is also registered.  Keith is talking about going,too.  Considering that The FBF Spring Series race is cancelled and there is no CRCA race Saturday, I can imagine there will be a large turnout.  
Sloppy and large turnout. Should be fun!

*sigh* Was all ready to wuss out on this one...leave it to the hardmen to shame me.

Do we need to pre-reg?

Oh I was fully planning to wuss out with the rain.

Just remember that the races start earlier this week - and are longer too!


I don't think they'll be rainy races

Eric exaggerates. The 123 race starts 5 min earlier and is 75 min instead of 60. Other races are the same as before (~45 min), at least according to BikeReg.

I agree about the likelihood of dry weather.
Same day signup has been very quick and easy, though I costs you an extra $5.

Do the double! Second race is $15.

$5 extra vs. $3 fee on Bike Reg so kind of a wash.

Masters starts 10min earlier! 15 minutes longer too!
