i reg'd for the 123 just now, anyone else? looks like a nice, small field. of course, there is the day of crowd...

Damn Thierry, heal up soon.  You'll be back stronger and better than ever just in time for the summer road season.

75% for racing on Sunday, need to confirm some weekend schedule stuff.

Yacks likely a day-of-reg   since you don't get credit anymore for missing a race....unless it's going to fill up I'll day of reg.  it's worth the small upcharge

Registered.  Let's see what we can do for Whitey.

wait what?  Whitey is still a IV?

Green, grey, yellow jerseys are up for grabs, so let's FTW not FTP. 
Sebastian needs a last lap top of hill lead-out, as does Jeff for two green jersey laps. 

All this talk has me excited to race in the 4s with everyone next weekend 

I still need to reg but as long as the legs are there, Jeff, I can help you get that green jersey, as my overall ambitions are tentative for now. I'm a big fan of team goals - makes racing fun

I'm a game day decision. Back to back crazy work weeks and rain have me on the fence. If I'm there I'd be happy to help Jeff with the Green Jersey, but I'm planning for at least a try at getting some polka dot points if I can make it. 

i'm anticipating it will not rain

no pressure IV's....really...it's not like we have a rich history of clamping down on those jerseys in the past....(said people before the internet)

Expect the worst. 

Either way, I'm going.  

that may be the best internet jab I've ever seen.....chapeau sir !!!!
(fyi...there is no honor among thieves)

LOL. You were/are the wolverine of Cat 4 lead-outs. Chapeau to the closer.

Please someone post the photo of the 6 man leadout we did for the intermediate sprint. Love bringing a cannon to a paper airplane fight.

don't forget that we do have a proud history of teamwork in the category 4s yellow jersey contest as well!

Look what I just found !!!!  these must be under the lights

^ That's very cool and just an hour away.

u know...it's about 1/2 a mile from the Long Island Railroad...40 minutes on the train = no driving = no stress

I called Merrick Bicycles to confirm....the course will have lighting...sooo there's that

I think Sean has a great shot at dots and could probably use a teammate or two. 

For the green sprints, it would be nice to have a wheel or two to sit on up near the front over top of the uphill and navigate me into the sprints. 

Oh yeah, who's going for the yellow? I can probably help with that. 

I'm out for the first couple but happy to help after that.

ugh looks like i have to ride to the race, lame

I'm can't make it tomorrow unfortunately.

I'll try to help with the green, but my fitness is very limited. If I don't get shelled on the hill I'll try to keep whitey in the clear for the sprint.

There's actually a train schedule.  Take a look.

I'm riding.  Hoping to leave my place between 5:30 and 5:40.

FWIW, I'd love to see if I could snag the grey jersey.  I figure JP Rorech, Danny Inoa, Paul Carbonara, and Tony Taylor are the biggest threats among the pre-registered.

I'm 50/50 for tomorrow - will be working until midnight-ish. If I'm there Jeff, I should be able to keep you positioned well

Cat 4 squad, watch out for this dude.

As far as I can tell, he started off as a cat 5 this year in the first Branchbrook race, hasn't done 10 races yet, but I guess was upgraded to cat 4 after winning pretty much everything he has entered except for Grant's which he took 3rd in the men's 3/4 race.
