BENNETT FIELD INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIAL at Gateway National Recreation Area, Brooklyn, New York Co-sponsored by Brooklyn Velo Force and the Century Road Club Association Sunday - June 3, 2007 START LIST AND TIMES RESULTS
All race proceeds to benefit Bike for Health Day and the Youth Ride Club, organized by Woodhull Hospital and Recycle-A-Bicycle. These events introduce children to bicycling in a fun and safe environment, and aims to nurture healthy living habits and an active lifestyle that can be carried into adulthood. Participants range in age from approximately 10 to 15. * Race for free if you volunteer to assist leading a future Youth Ride Club event on a later date in the Summer or Fall. There will be at least 10 rides dates to choose from. Rides typically begin at the Recycle-A-Bicycle shop in Long Island City where kids can pick up a bicycle for the day. These rides take to the street and lead the children's groups throughout New York City's neighborhoods and Boroughs. Routes are pre-mapped by the Youth Ride Club. The rides are not fast, but are a whole lot of fun! You don't have to be a racer to help out wih the Youth Club Rides. Any adult cyclist is welcome to volunteer. ** Preregistered riders will be assigned a start time on Saturday, June 2. Check this website for postings. Same day registrations will be assigned sequential times following preregistered riders. Categories starts may be mixed with one another but will be scored separately.  *** The
fastest times of the day for Men and Women will be presented with a
unique trophy,
recalling the race course of Floyd Bennett Field. Our fine arts
department and industrial fabrication team are currently developing and
producing this special award. Currently, we can only hint at its
design and inspiration.All USCF rules apply to this event (this inclues a helmet requirement, and sleeveless jerseys or tank-tops are not permitted). Registration Race is open to all USCF riders.

The top placed CRCA riders, regardless of regular or Cannibal categories, will receive Team and Boyd competition points. Cannibal Category  No aero
bars? No aero wheels? No Problem! Eddy
Merckx didn't need them, and neither do you. This event is
a perfect course and distance for field testing to determine your
Lactate Threshold and establish your training zones for heart rate
and/or power. Cannibal category is on the honor system, just let
us know the day of the race and Cannibals will be scored in a separate
listing.Even More Racing Ultra-Cannibal: You may register for both regular and Cannibal fields and do the ITT twice (once aero and once non-aero). Combined times will be posted as Ultra-Cannibal; no prizes but think of the bragging rights. Bridge-and-Cannibal: If Eddy Merckx was racing today in the NYC Metro area, we suspect he’d be doing both the Floyd Bennett Field Time Trial and the New Jersey State Time Trial Championships in one day. If this is you, let us know. First numbers at Floyd Bennett Field will be given to those riders “doing-the-double”, allowing time to get over to New Jersey. The Course Flat 2.3 mile course with 4 corners. However, flat does not equal easy. Located on Jamaica Bay, the area is open and has no protection from the wind.
