SICX
in
The promoters of SICX understand you have a lot of choices for racing
during the Thanksgiving holiday, so we've put together this FAQ to give a
few more reasons to come to NYC and hang out on Wu-Tang's turf:
Q: What does SICX mean?
A: SICX is our way of abbreviating Staten Island Cyclocross. Isn't SICX
much easier? Yes, yes it is.
Q: When is SICX?
A: Sunday November 29
Q: Where is SICX?
A: Uh… on Staten Island
Q: No, really… Where's the race?
A: Wolfe's Pond Park: http://tinyurl.com/ygcmyvy. The park is next to the
Staten Island University Hospital and right off of the main drag, Hylan
Boulevard (420 Cornelia Ave, Staten Island, NY 10312)
Q: Is that really in NYC?
A: Yes, Staten Island is a part of NYC. It's one of the 5 boroughs of our
lovely metropolis.
Q: How far is it from my house?
A: Glad you asked!
Distance from Albany: 176 miles or 2.75 hours Distance from Philadelphia:
75.6 miles or 80 minutes Distance from Phillipsburg, NJ: 61 miles or 60
minutes Distance from Danbury, CT: 96 miles or 90 minutes Distance from
Manhattan/Brooklyn: Well that depends on how you'd like to
travel: Via car, 27 miles from Central Park or 26 miles from Prospect
Park
Public Transportation: Take the Staten Island Ferry to Staten Island- then
Hop on the Staten Island Commuter Rail and take it to Prince's Bay. See the
Staten Island Commuter Rail Schedules pdf for full schedule (Page 8 –
Sunday Service to Tottenville).
Q: What if my husband/wife/bf/gf/buddy/
housemate/neighbor/uncle/cellmate
wants to come? Will there be anything for him/her to do?
A: YES! Bring them! We'll have food, music, racing to watch, etc. If they
want to race get in touch and we'll set them up with a demo bike (supplied
limited)
Q: Tell me more about the food and other things you mentioned
A: OK. We'll have a spread of traditional Belgian fare presented by Wafels
& Dinges available for purchase all day, including wafels AND Croque
Monsieurs, AND bacon (courtesy of Wellshire Farms). DJ Kendra will be
cranking out music from dawn to dusk (if you consider 8AM dawn), and if the
foul weather returns for another battle with our riders then we'll have a
bunch of huge party tents to keep you warm and dry while the riders get to
suffer.
Please arrive early, CJ will likely eat all of the bacon.
Q: Music, huh? Do you mean real music or "bike race music"? You know what
I'm talking about, right?
A: Yes, we know what you are talking about (wink wink). There won't be any
trance/rave/spin class music at SICX. You'll have the unique experience of
going totally anaerobic while Slayer pounds your skull with every pass of
the DJ tent. Yeah, it's going to be like that. If you would like to send
music requests for the day, please do so:

Q: If I hear any trance, may I punch you in the face?
A: Yes, but with fair warning please.
Q: But I have a race in my home state that day, so why should I come to
SICX?
A: Because our race is simply more fun. It might not be in a big series
with points and huge cash prizes, but we offer a very challenging course,
great food, great entertainment, and we're so close to every major roadway
there's no reason you can't find a way to get here! That, plus our race is
more fun.
Trust us.
Q: But it's Thanksgiving weekend and traffic is going to suck, right?
A: Actually, it's not that bad. You'll experience far worse traffic
heading up to Massachusetts for Baystate and have to endure the worst
traffic known to man by heading south to the MABRA Championships. So split
the difference and come to Staten Island. It's south of Manhattan and just
off of exit 13A of the NJ Turnpike (The Holland Tunnel is exit 14), which
is very easy to find from all of the major roadways.
Q: Can you give me any reason why I shouldn't go to SICX on Sunday
November 29?
A: Yes, you hate having a good time.
