Thanks!
YES MTB's are welcome! just no bar ends
Can I race on a MTB?
"Cadence demo bikes may be ridden for up to 7 days. The cost for a demo bike for this period is $200, $100 of which will be refunded to you should you purchase a bike or frameset from Cadence within 14 days of your demo experience at Cadence."
Cannondale will be there with a full spread of bikes, right next to SRAM's tent.
I don't have a direct relationship with Cadence. But I would call them up if you are serious about racing one of the loaner bikes. Last year Cannondale had a bunch of test bikes, some did borrow and race on them.
Hey Cadence folks: Any chance you wanna lend those Demo BMCs to folks doing Mercer this weekend?
miss my own race? are you kidding? I'll be racing C's and B's, but if any girls or older dudes (masters) want to use my bike, be my guest. i will also lend my 49 cm bike to Ryan trebon if he shows up without a bike. I'm just such a giver!
CJ if you're willing to lend your bike does this mean you're not racing? Will you be the one handing out bacon in the pit during the race?
Are there contingencies if spectators take the bacon preems before the racers can get to them?
disc brakes are allowed- people who want to try 'cross out on their MTB's are encouraged! just no bar ends.
Disc brakes are only banned in UCI events, as the UCI is a backward bunch of asses.
are they allowed?
no cross bike? no problem! Cadence will be bringing along 6 BMC CX02 Demo bikes for people to try out- its a perfect opportunity to give 'cross a try if you haven't yet. just bring or borrow some MTB shoes and you're all set!
also, if you're really short, I'll just lend you my bike
Now register and win some BACON!
CJIA + JED are awesome defined.
Two races after Turkey day will be a blast. See you there...
JG
I've spoken with the parks department and I got the ok to change the race date- STATEN 'CROSS WILL NOW BE HELD ON 11/30
WELCOME!
CJIA
Well, it sucks huge if this race is the same day than Sussex NJ Champs.
The NJ champs had been announced for the 30! WTF!!! when did they change it?
2 races within 45 minutes of each other. Not only will it reflect poorly on the attendance of both events, but WTF!!, really, shit.
We get that is hard to change. But a real effort should be made to change the date to Sunday.
how is NJ having 'cross states this year? they cancelled half of their races....
NJ vs. Staten Island. Not sure which is worse. I am going with NJ States. I have not been to SI in years and I want to keep it that way. Good on you guys for putting on this race. have fun!
I don't think I consider Shiner Bock to be alcohol.
Larry Craig knows what you mean. by the way, he will be the bathroom attendant at the race
That's more of a don't ask, don't tell. You know what I mean, right Schmalz?
"Alcohol is not permitted within the park.?"
don't forget the Shiner Bock Hand ups
I saw Lance on 9W and he asked me about the race, said he might be there. Matthew McConnaheeeey will be working the pit for him while doing bong hits. Take that NJ States!
There's bacon premes.
BACON. PREMES.
plus jeremy Powers may show up. just sayin'
did i mention there's going to be bacon?
And if you are a 35+ Cat 3 you can race THREE times! That's incredible!
You won't have to race against Roger Aspholm if he's in NJ. Sandbaggers rejoice!
The original NJBA schedule had originally listed States on the 30th, so we aplied for the 29th hoping to keep people in the area. Then the registration page came out and the event was listed on Saturday. Unfortunatly applying or changing a permit is not as easy as simply making a phone call, so we're on with this date.
Come to our race, you won't be let down.
Ugh! I love that you guys are putting on a cross race but it conflicts with NJ States at Augusta - one of the best courses around. You should do it the following day so we (I) can do both.
