About The Verge Series

This race is Round 2 of the 2024 Verge Series.   The Verge Series links the Kissena Cycling Club Prospect Park Series into an overall competition with Verge leader kits and overall prizes awarded to the winners of the Category 2-3 and Master 40+ events. There are also separate Sprint and KOM competitions in the Category 2-3 and Masters races. There are no overall competitions in the Category 4/5 event.

NEW FOR 2024: PLEASE READ!!!- UPDATED

For 2024 all Prospect Park and Floyd Bennett Field races will be timed using active timing chips(Except for Cat 5 races). The chips will allow us to provide faster, live results along with lap time reports, KOM and Sprint results, updated series standings and other features to be added at later dates. You must have a timing chip to be scored in the KOM or Sprint competitions. 

All riders in the Cat 2-3 and Masters 40+ will need to have a timing chip to race. Riders in the Cat 4/5 race will NOT need a chip. Timing chips are available to purchase along with your registration as a merchandise item. If you are a CRCA member and already have a chip you DO NOT need to buy a chip. If you have a chip for the NJ TT or CX series, you DO NOT need to buy a chip. If you purchased a chip for the Lucarelli & Castaldi Prospect Series you DO NOT need to buy a chip. Basically, if you already own a red, Race Result chip you are good to go. If you are here on vacation and only plan on racing one race, please contact me and we will sort you out so you don't have to purchase a chip. 

The chips are guaranteed to work for a minimum of 5 years and can be used in multiple different series. Currently, the chips will work for CRCA races, both Prospect Series, FBF Tues nights, NJ TT Series and NJ CX series. More races and series will be added shortly. 

The chip cost is $75 and you will own and be responsible for your chip. If you decide at any time that you do not want to participate in either of the Prospect series you can return the chip for a pro-rated refund. You will receive a refund equal to your original purchase price minus a rental fee of $5 per race you have entered. For example, if you have entered 4 races you would receive a $55 refund($75-$20). Only riders who purchased a chip for the FBF or PP series are eligible for this refund program.
