Reminders!

Hi all-

Hope everyone is staying warm on this frigid day! Here are a few things to look forward to!

• Just a quick reminder that we will be climbing tonight at the Gravity Vault in Upper Saddle River. Join us at 6 p.m. Directions can be found here. 
• Registration is open for the famous (or is it infamous?!) Singelspeed-a-polooza, to be held at Stewart State Forest in Newburgh, NY on April 17, put on by our friends at Dark Horse Cycles. They will close registration at some point, so don't delay! This event is pre-reg only - no day of registration will be available! Register at BikeReg today!
• Speaking of Dark Horse and Stewart and crazy epic rides as we were, registration is also open for the Dark Horse 40, the classic 40 mile race also held at Stewart State Forest. This year, it will be held on July 31, and right now registration is only $55. It will go up to $75 on May 1, so don't delay! 

Stay tuned for some announcements of more events coming up in the next few weeks - fun stuff!

Overdue Kudos!

A few race race results we need to acknowledge ...

Tour of the Battenkill - Three of Team Town Cycle's road racers braved the cold and the wind to ride the 62 miles of both dirt and paved roads (generously called "farm roads"!) to represent us well in this New York State spring classic! They had great results for their first year - out of 102 starters in their class, Chris Walsh finished 65th, with a time of 3:28:21, BJ Kisch and Chris Byrnes finished 69th and 70th respectively, with a time of 3:31:02. Nice going, guys!

Singlespeedapalooza - Three Team Town Cycle members braved the elements for this 2 lap, 25 mile long epic in the woods. Mud, rain, full flights of stairs, and did we mention mud? - were just some of the challenges faced by our racers in this event just for those crazy enough to ride a singlespeed through the ups and downs of of Stewart State Forest. Matt Kuchavik, fashionable in his garbage bag rain gear, had a great day, finishing with a time of 2:23:39 for 7th place in the Sport/NJ and South category. Dillon Van Wart, who won a prize for youngest finisher, finished with a malfunctioning seatpost and a time of 2:52:38 for 38th in the Sport/NJ and South category. David Van Wart, our intrepid club president, finished 30th in the Open Men category with a time of 2:17:40.

Congratulations to all of our racers, and thanks for representing Team Town Cycle so well!
