The third race in the Lucarelli & Castaldi Club Series is this weekend. The weather forecast for the race has significantly improved in recent days but there is still a chance of overnight rain that could leave the roads wet on Saturday morning. Please use caution during the race, particularly around the Lasker Pool descent. Full race instructions follow below:
Race Clinics: New Racer Clinics replace this weekend's C and WD fields. There is no C or WD field this weekend.
Members: after the first Club Series race three riders were reported by NYC Parks for riding backward on the Central Park loop and/or riding on walking paths. This conduct threatens the existence of our races and will be subject to an immediate DQ and possible suspension. PLEASE respect all other Park users before, during and after this weekend's race.
Marshals: NYC Parks strictly enforces our marshal requirements. Races cannot start until 15 minutes AFTER all marshals are at their assigned posts. If marshals arrive late (or do not show) the race will be delayed and/or cancelled. Please refer to the Marshaling Instructions and Marshaling Policy for addition information.

Instead either ride to the 102nd St Transverse and come down the West Drive or WALK you bike along the walking paths to Delacorte. Please remember: any violation of Central Park policy threatens our permits.
