I had grand plans to cover yesterday’s Red Hook Criterium like I did at last summer’s Navy Yard event, or at this year’s Monster Track, but the downpour that soaked the day’s events sent me packing early, toward a glorious pulled pork sandwich and a couple of beers at a nearby bar. The parts that I did watch were thrilling. Here’s one of my favorites from around a dozen shots taken during a stroll through the Cruise Ship Terminal, where racers and fans gathered to stay dry.
