Many of might think the "Check Your Legs RR" was named to represent an early season test of form.
As in I'm going to check my racing legs to see how I'm riding ? Well yes and no. The inspiration for the name was the 1992 Beastie Boys Album "Check Your Head."

Just recently Adam Yauch ( MCA ) passed away. The man may have left us....but the music and CNYC RR will live on. Thanks Adam for the fun and inspiration.
