My Teammate and I are doing to be in the NJ/Maryland area that weekend so I'm hitting up the race on the way to MD.

Wondering if anyone else is in?

I'm also doing the Bowie Dawg Days of Summer Circuit Race that Sunday.

Thinking about it, but will probably do the crit in Marlton the next day instead. Not certain yet, if I do go I will do the 35+ and possibly the 123

Yeah I'm in the 4/5. I figure its short enough it won't really affect me at all in terms of sunday's circuit race

I am. I always enjoy the Medford race.

Doing medford sat and marlton sunday then the following week back at marlton 4/5s

All the races I've done over in dirty jerzy (only a a handful) have been well run, so I would expect the same for Medford. I'll be away at a stage race this weekend and so racing both days the following weekend won't doesn't fit into my schedule, got wife/2 little kids/and housework to take care of.

Thinking of hitting the Phillipsburg Crit on Sept 4th, any of you jersey folks raced this before? If so what's it like?

I will be there in 4/5 and 35+ hoping to get the last couple of points for the 3 upgrade.

I'll be at both those races.

I'm also doing Marlton and Medford, since the Chester County Stage Race was cancelled.

Nope, but I'm doing Dawg Days.

Hoping some more 4/5s show up for Medford I think we need to make a facebook push for this or something for our friends (especially you locals)

I'll be there in my blue Tom's Pro Bike jersey with my Black/Red Scott Addict if anyone wants to say hi. My teammate will be with me too, we're like the only ones that race serious on my team (for the cat 5s anyways).

Look for Rich and me!

I'm offended by 35 dollar entry fees. Rethinking doing this.

LanceFanBoy

I need it for my Cat 4 upgrade, so I'm essentially calling it an investment in my upgrade haha :-p

WCroadie

I knew that stage race would never get off the ground.

It's for a good cause, Are you doing the 123 race on sunday in marlton?

Matt2.8NJ

y?

WCroadie

Cause details were very sparse until the last minute, it wasn't on bikereg til the last minute, and talk on the local scene was that it probably wouldn't happen.

It takes a lot of work to put on a race let alone a stage race, the person putting it on is a kid, still in high school. I just didn't think it would happen. He did run the crit last year and it was very well run.

Had lots of fun on the front attacking and starting a break away group. The group left me on the front after my 2nd to last lap attack to try and go off for 2nd place with no success, ended up 15th.



There was a guy with a helmet cam there (Video: https://vimeo.com/14323650 ) I dunno if you're on this forum, but you might want to avoid calling people out in your comments for being sketchy while being guilty of them yourself (and providing footage to back it up). Attacking on a downhill knowing you can't sustain the power isn't an attack, diving into corners also isn't a safe way to gain position either. Just don't be a hypocrite. If you want out of these races, get points to be a Cat 3.

I called marlton a rain out.

I don't race for causes. Plus local causes in other cities are pretty meaningless to folks who don't live there.

WCroadie

Oh Snap!

I was only joking about it being a good cause.

Marlton was fun, the 123 was dry for the most part, I ended up just outside the money, the 3/4 was a soaker, pissing rain. I ended well inside the money. The 3/4 was surprisingly sketch free for the most part.

gsteinb

missed the joke, my bad. I've heard that a lot of the years with concerts and other things.

I forgot medford and marlton were basically the same place. If one were closer I'd have likely raced in the rain, but two hours each way both days was too much.

At least you had a choice. No women's field at Marlton this year. Sigh.
