33rd ANNUAL FATHER'S DAY SKYSCRAPER HARLEM CYCLING CLASSIC
and N.Y. STATE CYCLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
On sunday june 18, 2006, beginning at 12noon, the 33rd ANNUAL FATHER'S DAY SKYSCRAPER HARLEM CYCLING CLASSIC
www.skyscraper-harlembikerace.com will be held around harlem's MARCUS GARVEY PARK (madison-5th avenues, 120th-124th streets). the SKYSCRAPER attracts world class cyclists, many of whom have raced for their countries during the olympics. like the nyc marathon, new yorkers seldom win the SKYSCRAPER. this year, for the first time, the CLASSIC will also be the 2006 NEW YORK STATE CYCLING CHAMPIONSHIPS.
the CLASSIC is a series of races open to new york city metropolitan area residents from the age of 10 years old and up. next is a series of races open only to members of the UNITED STATES CYCLING FEDERATION (USCF)
www.usacycling.org, including the SKYSCRAPER, that is 35 laps around the park. last year's SKYSCRAPER was won by roosevelt marte, of dominican heritage, who grew up in washington heights, but now resides in ft. lee new jersey, in a photo finish over alvaro tardagulia of glen spey, new york in 57 minutes 33 seconds. hispanic cyclists have been very supportive of nyc cycling and are expected to do well in this year's SKYSCRAPER. megan esponde of orlando, florida won the women's race in 37 minutes 28 seconds to finish 1 mile ahead of rebecca larson of gainesville, florida. because so many cyclists are from outside of nyc, this year the city's official tourism marketing organization , NYC AND COMPANY is a promotional partner as is the NYC SPORTS COMMISSION.
