The course was smooth, the weather warm and the crowds vocal. Father's Day June 18 saw the 33rd running of the Skyscraper-Harlem Criterium around New York City's Mount Morris Park.

After the kids and community races, USCF racing started with the men's 4/5 event, won in a sprint by Gavin Robertson of the Major Taylor Iron Riders.

The men's 3/4 event had some late-race drama. A three-rider break was caught and passed by Chris Baldwin of CRCA-Merrill Lynch in the home straight. But Baldwin celebrated too early, and Jerry Kapko of Deno's Wonder Wheel came back out of the break to win.

The masters/juniors race was enlivened by a long solo by Ken Harris of CRCA-Merrill Lynch (who is also president of the promoting club - New York City's Century Road Club Association). But he was caught on the last lap with Pennsylvania's Jon Clifton-Moore taking the win. The first of the day's New York State Criterium Championships went to Tony Taylor (35+), Geoff Bickford (45+) and Ryan Storm.

In the women's race, several strong riders surged early in the last lap and got ahead, aided by a teammate behind letting a gap open. Toga's Camie Kornely went for a long sprint but Caryl Gale of CRCA-Comedy Central (and New Jersey) came around to win with her teammate Sarah Sauvayre taking second and the New York State Criterium Championship.

After a lot of early attacking in the men's elite race, a large group got away and then split up again under pressure from attacking and heat. Greg Wolf of AEG-Toshiba and John Loehner of CRCA-Axis motored away from the break and lapped what was left of the field. Wolf took the win in a tight sprint, with Loehner getting the State Championship. Among the rest of the break, Connor Hurley of Boston Scientific tried to solo to third but was swept up, with Lisban Quintero of GS Mengoni taking third over Colavita pro Davide Frattini.
