A 9W or LI ride sounds nice as does Fair Haven... any other NYers staying home and racing sunday?

Aug 11, 2012 at 10:36 PM
Whaaaa? Why'd they cancel?
...not that I'll be here to race it.

I Amy do some morning laps in the park if anyone is interested

looking at the 'who is registered' list, it seems like low pre-reg

With the low amount of registrants, I think that the Burrowes Bros would rather win a bunch of money in Fair Haven than give it away in Prospect Park.

One last PP race - mangoseed 2, or the CRCA masters in CP... Any 40+ masters Kissena going to CP?
Aug 14, 2012 at 07:12 PM
I was thinking about doing the 35+ in CP, but I can't pass up 15 laps in my own back yard.
I'll be in Prospect Park. FYI, this one is not a makeup of last weeks race. This is a 123 (as opposed to 12) and doesn't pay as deep.

Didn't see a thread so I figured I would post the Prospect Park Challenge race report from this morning here. Lined up with about 30 riders (Vlad and I from Kissena) at 6:30 in a light drizzle and by the time we started it was full on raining. The race was shortened from 15 laps to 13. Off to a slower start but punchy. Vlad and I took turns covering moves. About 5 laps in a group of 6 riders got away I thought Vlad was up in the break but I was mistaken. We took turns attacking but no one wanted to work. Then we decided to try two up attacking hoping that maybe we could work together to get across. No luck.
We the filed had been split in to about three groups and I was in the last one. Our group bridged up to the the second. They slowed a little so I kept going and a group of 5 formed. 2 Champ-Sys guys(I think they had a total of 5 or 6), Jordan Racing, Toga, and myself. We worked together well while one of the champ-sys guys sat on the back and got within 30 seconds of the lead group. A JV racer bridged up then hit the gas with 3 to go I popped off the back chased/ tt'ed for two laps to come in 11th..
All in all it was a fun race and it's so much fun to race in the rain during the summer.

Yeah, tons of fun in the rain this morning. We were active early but missed the winning move. ChampSys held it down. Gavi won it, but a lot of their strong guys were there to control just about everything. Mueller got close but it wasn't meant to be. I was in a group of 8ish right behind Joe's that wound up being 4 deep when it was all said and done.
results, bros

Ahhh... My race report for the 4s goes something like this: I woke just before the alarm set for 4am and shut it off so I wouldn't wake my wife. I lay there listening to the rain thinking "pack a cape, should I wear a hat"?
A moment later my wife asks me if Im going to be late for the race - I look at the clock and its 5:49...
"Yes, go back to sleep..."
Fuck. I fell back to sleep
Glad you guys had a good time though.
