Nice work guys. Congrats Rene and John... good finishes.

Sorry about that broken break Jules... hurts.

I will be heading there tomorrow. Should be fun.

It seems like the 123 3/4 fields get combined often here, so if you're a strongman cat 4 you should consider coming out and getting the experience of getting your ass kicked with me! 
i'll be there tomorrow.  if the fields combine i will aim to beat my previous combined-fields best of 35 minutes.
Thanks Norm!

Huge, huge props to Rene who is showing why he should be a two — an absolutely ballistic long sprint from a 6 man break. He beat out some serious break partners. Good things coming for him!

I shopped sprint 1 with a bike throw to keep me in the green jersey. United's James Joseph was leading out Lance who's a couple of points behind. Next week I really need to get points because I'm out the last two races... might be futile as there's a double pointer in there. Perhaps you guys can get a break away organized before the green jersey laps? Also I'm second in the overall and Kissena is leading the teams in the 3/4.

I think the pierogies go to Aaron for shutting down the break in the last lap. After some "don't go". "go" Jules stuck a long bridge to the break. Hard work out there into the headwind with a big field and all of CIS chasing.
i am guessing tonight is a no-go.  sigh.
FBF combined field tonight

That's the spirit!  I'm having a beer with my cat.

I think may actually make it down tomorrow. Racing the 123 to tune for Mengoni.
i'll be there tonight.

mattie: you can give that josh rovner guy a run for his money in the tattooed-racer stakes.
I'm planning to race tonight. Can someone tell me the alternate route to Flatbush? I believe its a little longer but a better ride. I think I've done it before but was just following wheels.

^ take bedford for quite some time (from my house in fort greene i am on bedford for about 6miles) and then do a left on Ave N; go for about 6 blocks and do a right on 36th st; go 5 or so blocks and then do a left on Ave S.  that will take you to flatbush about a mile out from FBF.
Mark's route is what I use, except I take 36th until it ends and go left on U.
Mark's route is much nicer/safer.  Skips the worst of the journey.
thanks all.
Have a good/safe race guys.  I'll be skipping tonight.
I'm out tonight, and on vacation next week.  Have a good, fast race.

I just learned co-workers were planning on coming out to watch tonight, which is crazy enough (it was going to be a surprise).  I've got to keep my mouth shut at work about how awesome racing is.
I'm out my foot still hurts.
I'm out.  Last easy week ahead of Tokeneke.
Team! I will be there with the goal of taking both sprint primes.
Is anyone up for a 3 man Kissena attack with me 1 lap before the sprint prime, maybe Jeff C and Aaron?

I'd also appreciate someone sitting on Lance Sniadowski (United) and coming around him to take points off of him when needed — Mattie?

I can return the favor with a lead-out/or bridge at the end.

@Rene, what's going on with the foot? Will you be ok for Mengoni?

They want to see a real awesomeness that is you Bruce.. lol
i'm up for leading you out again, john.  though this time i would prefer not to do a full lap suicide pull at the front.
@John I can definitely help with the sprint lap. Not sure I'll be able to hold it for a full lap before the sprint but we can sure try.  
@John I hurt it playing soccer on Wednesday but it's getting better everyday.

"OFF TOPIC" because what the heck is a cyclist doing putting himself at risk playing other lesser sports!? :-)
anyone want to meet at GAP for 5:45?  i'll be rolling out from there regardless.  
I won't be there until 6pm. 
Ill be there tonight. I am always looking for that elusive breakaway, but John I should be able to help.
Heard there was a crash in the sprint for the 4's everyone ok?
