Just as well...

Anyone heading out there today? Whats the best way to get there? I'll either go over the Wburg or Manhattan bride

Fastest is straight over Manhattan and then straight down Flatbush all the way. Also the hairiest route, suggest you ride with blinky lights on full.

That was hard. MOP I think. 

Mother of Pearl?

No races on the 23rd and 30th. Any idea why?

On Thursday before my race they said something about an event at FBF next week so not sure if it applies to Tuesday as well

Horace,

Let me know.

Thanks!

I'm in for some Thursday night fun!

What time do these start? I've never done a Thursday night, but think I'll be able to get out of work early enough to make it with the long weekend.

Adam - the 4s start at 6:10, along with the masters. 

Awesome - thanks Phil. Is this a 4/5 field, and does Horace submit results to USAC?

Adam, it's a 4/5 plus masters. Though the results are posted separately (but yes on Usac) of those two fields. It was pretty tough two weeks ago. I'm going tomorrow. There's no real reason if you get warmed up on the way out to show up much before 5:50 If at all. Last week he didn't show up until 6. If you want to pick a meetup spot well head out 

How long does the 4/5/masters race go? Is it only 30 minutes or is it 45?

Oh crap, only 30 minutes?

It was 45 two weeks ago

Awesome. I'm planning on it then. I'll be rolling from Union Square around 4:15. Sean, where are you leaving from?

Horace combines the 4/5 and the masters into a 45 min race. Not enough people separately.

What's the start time?

Niall - 6:10 is official start time (7:00 for the 1/2/3), but Horace is late (showing up) sometimes.

Starting line at floyd.
No wind=fast race,
sprinted in my small chain ring, so I got last place. 

Can this be considered poetry?

I like the way we lined up like that. I think we are the only ones around here sporting a mostly white kit?

A fun night as usual. Midpoint in the race I tried to bridge to a group of three. I was halfway when I realized they were too far and I'm running out of gas. I eventually slowly made my way back to field. Sprint finish as usual. Chaim was perfectly positioned but he had a little issue with his chain.

It was great racing with Niall Sean Chaim and Adam. 

These are back on. I'll be out there in the 3/4 field. 5:45 GAP.

Per the official FB page, tonight's race is cancelled on account of flooding.

  not happy about this
