Central Park Cycling News

Unofficial News from the World Championship.
http://www.masterswm.org/v4/?info/en/results

Marie DeRosa, came in a close second in defending her ITT world championship. I am sure she's disappointed but she's always a champion to all of us in the park. Congratulation!! The winner was Martha Iverson also from the United States.

Lunch time Steve, will no longer be riding during lunchtime, because he lost his bike parking due to expansion of the Hospital, he was a big part of the "10-3" crowd, he will be missed!! Unless He gets one of those foldable bike. Hopefully, we see him back in the park real soon.

Hopefully.. the sun will shine soon, the rain is getting to me.

Cliff...

Member of Rain of kings, He's playing at the Continental on Sept. 4th.

Anna, the Iron Woman

She's a happy Triathlete, today is her day off and she's riding 60-70 miles and then a two hours swim. What a relaxing day. Wish her luck in September for the Ironman competition in Wisconsin.

Mike and Lou

It's strange seeing Mike with the "10-3" crowd. He's riding with Lou, the owner of

toga bikes.

Lola and Paul?...

It cost me two cups of coffee to take their picture, but Lola gave me a free bracelet.

Elaina..

Filipina triathlete from L.A. with a great smile, she's training for the Triathlon in mid september at Sandy Hook, NJ. Looks like she's going to kick some butt! She loves NY (who doesn't) but she does misses her families and friends in California, so she's dedicating her race to all her peeps outwest, (I made that up) but she does misses you people outwest and she can't wait till she goes "home" and see you all.

Derek, the school teacher and tutor

If you need a tutor for Math and Science, give him a call.

Jay's and Rashid Competition, these guys are on the East side.

Pat

I see this guy dropping roadies with his mountain bike. He's a natural rider.

Mike's new bike

He just got a brand spanking new Specialized Tarmac SL, just look at that smile!!! He's one happy camper!!

My favorite Vietnamese biker in the park. Look at him, he's always smiling.

Margo is always smiling. Always glad to see her, she makes the ride very pleasant.

Adrian..

Congratulation to him for being a new father, even with all those sleepless night, he's pretty damn strong. Here's how a cyclist mind works, he's already thinking of getting a trailer or a child seat for the kid. In a couple of months he will.

John Eustice

Talking to this man, you can tell he geniunely loves the sport of cycling. He is not only a cyclist but he also organizes races, currently he's organizing a race in Pennsylvania on September 9-10th. Sparta cycling. He's a pleasant guy to chat with on a bike. He can tell you stories about his pro days or the ride around central park. For more info on John's Race check out www.spartacycling.com hopefully fox picks it up.

Andre

I finally got his name right, it's not Reyas. He's strong on that mountain bike, can't imagine what he can do with a road bike. He does race in Italy! He's here for a few more days and then he's back to Italy.
