It is definitely one of the most hotly contested Pa crits, the course is demanding. I think I lasted five laps there last year before I got the hook(actually I finished 3/4 of a lap down in 25th).

The race did not come together until last week, so we had a light turn-out (about 150 total); but enough for some hot racing action. Jason kept it simple with four fields: 3/4, 40/50, 4/5, and 1/2/3.

The course is your typical downtown crit in an old-time North Jersey city out by the Delaware river; nice area. The course itself is pretty cool, a long slightly down hill run past the start/finish, a quick left into a slight chicane that goes hard left into a very short ( 12 pedal strokes) hard rise and then another long flat stretch.

Since no one from Pro Pedals did the race i talked Kim into going. She must have thought this was like a tour de france stage because she brought 3 magazines and 1 book to read.

Not exactly a stellar showing for "one of the strongest Cat 4 teams in the state". I'm sure I've uttered that line a few times and today we pretty much got bitch-slapped. Oh well, maybe a little humility will serve us well in the long run. With that said, we had some decent performances. Medford is a very unforgiving course. It rewards the strong and punishes the weak. All of my cornering skills, wheel-sucking ability, ...

This was the same crew that all raced together at the Lakewood Tuesday night series which we dominated ( three races, Chris Fritz went 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, Caleb got a 1st, Lockburner got a 3rd, and we had several other top tens with me and Otto. Did I miss anyone?). I got this second ...

That's kinda where me and Dennis are at with Prospect. Up at 3:00 am, on the road by 3:30, up to Brooklyn, race at 6:30; back home by 10:30 - 11:00. Perfectly normal. Todays trip had the added twist that New Jersey is apparently on fire and Rt 206 was closed down. So we had an unexpected detour up into Atco through Medford and on up. We arrived at 5:45 with plenty of time to get ...

I did double 30+ and then 1,2,3. I ended up with about 65 miles of racing and feeling every bit of it, and feeling old in the 1,2,3. The 30+ did 9 laps, and after the first Prime on the 3rd lap, I broke away with Rich Uliana from Gotham. We stayed away with about 25-30 sec. gap most of the time, almost 20 miles. We split the Primes, he took the 1st and I took the 2nd on the 7th or 8th lap. Was hard ...

It was me and Big Dan, I was slated for the 4/5 and the 3/4 double; Dan took a page from my book and doubled up in the Cat 5 and the 4/5. Eric showed up later to do the 35+ and the 1/2/3. The weather was perfect, much cooler and dryer than yesterday. Doylestown is a nice circuit race, about a 2.4 mile loop. It starts out with a short, moderate climb then turns into a housing project with two criterium type turns. ...

I'll be doin' this one from my office computer. Congrat's to Joey Schaivo, great time (24 mph+!) in the TT. In the 35+ Eric Wally helped drive a three man break with Shawn Teske and Steve Cochrane (Mambo). Now there's some horsepower! They tettered right ...

Waiting to hear the results from Captain Ed. Looking forward to his race report as usual. To fill you in on my solo as team president of TT's at Kingwood, meaning again I was the sole representative for Pro Pedals. One of these days we will have good representation at these TT. Anyway, the weather was muggy with an absolutely high due point, you could cut it with a knife. I started out slow because it was starting to rain and again ...

Remember, even when you're gettin' dropped, havin' a bad race, and you're disgusted with your performance; we are NOT spectators in the game,we're out there doin' it!!! The last place guy who gets dropped and lapped is far the better man (woman) than those that sit on the couch, beer in hand, watchin' Nascar, the NFL, or major league baseball.

This has been the site of an annual invitational pro 1/2 road race for several years; today marks the first year race promotor at large (pun intended) Kenny Mills included amateur events. The course was excellent, a longish 1.3 mile 4 turn crit. You have a long, very slightly uphill run past the start/finish; a rising right hander then down a long straight to a slightly tricky 90 degree ...

The hills weren't too bad, but the mix of turns and hills made it a bit squirrelly. There were a couple of juniors in there that were pretty skiddish, and one of them caused a pile-up after the start-whistle blew, but before we even crossed the line. That same kid caused another crash about 3/4 mile into the race. That ended his day. For everyone elses' sake, I was kinda glad he was off the scene, ...

I'll be waiting to hear from the boys who went out there. Dennis' wife Kim was ecstatic over my decision to head up as Dennis had talked her into gettin' up at 3:00 am to drive up with him(if he was goin' alone). So if I'm not scoring any points in my household, next best thing is to help out a team mate. Dennis did the Cat 5 and I did the ...

And the way the crit went, i had no plans that i would do anything but ride the road race as a tourist stopping at all the rest areas and taking in the sites as the field left me for dead...

I rode near the front to make sure nothing really got away. One of the black jerseys (Chris Labrek's team?? can't remember) did most of the work. The field was down about half the riders, from 20 to 10 by the 3 lap announcement. The last lap, the black jersey guy kept working, but slowed down to allow himself recovery. There was a bit of attack on the left side of the course with about half a ...
