I suspect that remark was directed at me Skinny J ?
He's grown a mustache and has an open facial wound but Johnny Wrongway has a message for you huckleberries....

We had a lovely race today. We did the longer (4 corner) course.

Horace was talking about canceling these races if interest continued to wane. It would be a tragic loss to the NYC bike racing scene if that happened. I encourage you all to come out if and when you can on Thursday nights and to support the other races that Horace promotes (WS United/Mangoseed). There are some really good ones coming up. It's a lot of fun and in my opinion, the best place to earn your stripes while you learn how to race.

Tim, I apologize in advance, but your catlike #skilz at walking away from this one deserve some airtime...

After having watched that (a few too many times maybe...) it seems a little more clear. Coming up to it, I thought I had *just enough* room to get around on the right. And I probably did, until the the other guy hit Misha from behind and pushed his rear wheel over to the right just a little bit, at which point I didn't have enough time to react (and then my hit pushes his back wheel even farther to the right).

Anyway, yes, not happy about crashing but very happy to have walked away from it. Plus I don't think I've been featured in an animated gif before.


What caused the guy on Misha's left to go down like that?
Water bottle?
You can step through the youtube video at 1080p at 1/4 speed; unfortunately there is something on the lens just in front of the crash...
I had the distinct privilege of racing against both 2014 Tour of Somerville Pro/1 race winners tonight.

Where were you?
I was on my trainer watching The Armstrong Lie.

I had the distinct privilege of being stuck at work.  Lame.
I was walking my dog and eating wasabi wow mix from fairway.
I was drunk.
Cocktails at The Cricket Club.
I was also drunk.

Is the Kissena race on tonight? 7pm for Cat4, if I remember?  (this forum software sucks so bad I can't find the other post where phil answered that question)
Is this on tonight?
Race is on. Bonus pointz night.

Get some.
@Niall - charlie runs the Tuesday night race at FBF. $15 for us. Horace burrowes from WS united runs the Thursday night race. Same fbf but different course (long versus short for Thursday). Either one is fun to do.
Fun race tonight. A couple of crashes in 3/4. Schmalz in yellow yelling at someone for yelling at a junior. CIS was out in force for Lipscomb. Just me and Patrick G.
On my way home my left crank came loose. Put out too much power I guess during the race. Took the train home from flatbush.

Yikes.
FYI, Horace is doing the long course now too. $25 gets you in the door.
I do like the long course..
I'm heading out to this, weather permitting.
It took forever to upload but…   http://youtu.be/25z1tCGTx-M
What is the price we get again?
