I just saw on cyclingnews.com that the Mengoni GP pro bike race is being held in Central Park tomorrow at 6 AM.

The last pro race I remember in Central Park was like 20 years ago. And here I am stuck out of town...
There is also BBQ and music on the West Side piers on Sunday. I stumbled into this on the way home from a long ride last year. The perfect end to a great day...

Good show
We rolled out of bed really early and it was well worth it. Those guys are impressive, not to mention fast. And I just love the sound of a peleton rolling by, nothing else like it.
I was moving around, but it seemed like the Pro-1-2 were clocking consistent loops sub 13 minutes.

Fendergal was in a 2 woman break for almost 3 laps. Great racing.
