At the Nancy Morgenstern TT Festival, Michael Norton of Calyon wins the men's ITT, and Ann-Marie Miller of Sanchez/Metro wins the women's race. Many other timed races were held, results here.
Ricky Lowe of WS United shows more late season form by winning the Cadence Cup Prospect Park Series Pro1/2/3 race and also takes the overall title for the series. Radoslaw Smolaga wins the cat 4 race, while Alessandro Matteucci of BVF wins the overall cat 4 title. Greg Waggoner of Z Team wins the cat 5 race and Aaron Deutsch of Brooklyn Arches wins the overall cat 5 title.
No word from the Blueberry Circuit race in Jersey.
And just out of curiosity, say I had this friend who rode for a team sponsored by a company that was just bought over the weekend, and this company may no longer exist. What would now happen with my friend's team? I'm just asking because, you know, I 'm curious and all.

Mr Shen, send that man an autographed box of Rice-A-Roni (the San Francisco treat) as a parting gift and a version of Central Park-Roubaix the home game. And what the hell - throw in a sticker of a dog molesting a cat, while you're at it.
where are these pictures? can somebody make a youtube video out of them like the ugli dance?
nah!
it was KH and there are pics on this site to prove it!
Ahhhhhhhhhh........... Who is Greg Olsen? Sorry Greg but that series of pics was infamous. Do I win a free copy? Can I have it autographed?
can we get brother historicus his own column?
Sorry to disappoint, but delighted to enlighten. It's not a race, it's a cycling video game inspired by and modeled on "Football Manager" - and a very cool one at that. Man, did it take a lot of time to design. The idea was to create teams from local riders' power profiles - complete with local team jerseys, and certain idiosyncrasies for each rider (e.g. depending on character: no socks, no helmet, yells "holja line!," or does a muscle-flex victory salute, etc.) - and the player acts as the DS throughout a whole virtual cycling season. Messrs. Shen, Ostroy, and Schmalz spent a whole season downloading PowerTap/SRM data from CRCA riders to create it. Word is that they're coming out with a multi-player online version next March/April.
One of its coolest features (as I remember one avid fan wrote in an impromptu review at the time of its release - but I can no longer find the link ... ahem, ahem) is that during the C race, Cat 5 racers will ride off-course at random. This provides not only excitement, but a degree of realism not found in other cycling video games.
Trivia for you history buffs amongst the hard-core NYVeloCitizens:
What rider(s) or incidents inspired that particular feature of the game?
Yeah, I've seen it advertised for at least a year and nothing else. Will it ever happen?
When is the Central Park Roubaix?
They are supposed to pave it tonight (not leave it as pav-e).
the pavement is all torn up near the 72nd street transverse on the east side. just how i like my bunch sprint run-ins. does anybody know when that is supposed to be finished?
Good question. I was really looking forward to the Westside finish.
is there going to be a make up date for the cancelled 9/13 crca race?

good to see zmolik racing again
I won't bore you guys with how all the south jersey pineys finished, I'm sure ya don't really care.In the P1/2/3 John Minturn of Empire won with Dan Zmolik in 5th. In Masters 45+ Rich Gonzalez of CRCA was 4th, John Lord/ Deno's 10th. That's all the top ten's I see from NYC.
Results up on usacycling.

......also have recovered from broken necks.
Did anyone happen to pick up my helmet (blue and white) after the Bear Mountain awards ceremony/ picnic? by accident I left it on one of the picnic tables..... thanks. velogrrrl "at" aol.
this is hilarious
Dude I am not from Amish country but from Jersey and you are douche bag, say that with a Nutley accent.. stay in NY and race...I guess my walk through the park debunks the myth about people from NYC but maybe for a jerk like you then you should stay racing in the Cat 4 race.
50+ year olds take 2nd in the mens's and 1st in the womans's
Jamestown is a great race on a beautiful course really unique to anything we are used to. Real super technical sprint to the finish as well (not unsafe). Just get your a$$ in your car as soon as it is over so you are not fighting Columbus Day weekend traffic on 95 on the way home.
Just race CX and extend your season by 3 months. MAC series starts next Saturday in PA.
Don't forget about the Jamestown Classic, Oct. 13. Much closer than DC.
Scnaltz - you can always come ride for my team. Benefits include paying for all your own gear and riding in support of me. Send resume with cover letter stating interest in this proposal.
It should be a really fun time. VDV is slated to ride in the pro race. They are supposed to have some great pro team commitments. Not to mention, the chance to race on Pennsylvania Ave in the shadow of the Capitol will be pretty cool. Last road race of the season, such sweet sorrow.
check out the Capital Criterium in DC next week! $50,000 Pro race, plus a masters, and 1,2,3...
:)
what do YOU mean? "won't you come ride for us next season?" is an offer to join a team, is it not?
What do you mean offers from other teams? Isn't it more like "won't you come ride for us next season?"
The CRCA should step in and buy the ML team new kit for next year.
Indeed, that is the TRUE FALLOUT of the Wall Street crisis -- the impact on ML bike racing. Wait until the Fed looks at that wind tunnel line item. I predict congressional hearings, with Schmalz and Andy testifying and Marco taking photos, naturally.
Is the Merrill Lynch team going to be around next year? Will their riders look at offers from other teams?
'....felt like I might actually place and make a few bucks.'
I did jump back in but did not contest the finish. Us Amish people are honest.
Bubblelicious
where are you from, amish country?
I got a flat on the 5th lap at the top part of the course... I walked back to my car through the park. Surprisingly everyone I saw was really friendly. That debunks the myth of New Yorkers being rude. If I had flatted near the start finish line and if I had a spare wheel then I would have jumped back in the race. I would have finished but I would not have tried to place. I paid $25, got up at 4am and wanted at least something out of it by continuing to ride... c'est la vie.. better luck next time. The irony is that I was actually feeling pretty good and at 44 years old in the P123 field felt like I might actually place and make a few bucks. Now I get to wait for next year, Central park, first weekend in March, I hope it's above 30 degrees.
At least your friend was not riding for Lehman Brothers.
don't ask for the free lap next time, just take one. about 20 other guys did it, why ask for permission?
2 laps into the 123 race, a flat was the last thing expected. After waking at 2:30am to make the start, dismay ensued when told there are no free-laps.
Thanks to the guy who gave me a wheel. (hey, I awoke at 2:30am, remember?) Tell Charlie Issendorf that Hartford, CT loves NYC.
Your friend will likely suffer the indignity of racing in the CRCA "orphan" jersey. I'm sure he'll still be recognizable -- there's no hiding that sprint.
if I ride for you guys can I get ATM fees waived?
It's the new bank of america team!
