Looking back on a very muddy Jingle Cross.
​Thanks for the photos, Kent Becker. And thanks for helping out at the race!

Congrats to Sarah Barber for
2nd place at Trek's CX Cup!
​
"Getting on the Women’s Masters 55+ podium at Trek CXC was very rewarding for me. Firstly, and most importantly, because I am a real advocate for getting more category races for Women Masters. Typically, you see a 35+ category, sometimes a 45+ category, but almost never (unless at State or Nationals) a 55+ category. So high-fives to Trek for giving us 55+ racers our own category!

​"Secondly, I was still in the final stages of recovering from a chest cold, so with all the coughing and congestion that comes along with that, finishing on the podium really gave me a pat on the back for hanging in there.

"I found the Trek course to be quite technical, but a lot of fun. Three flyovers really fatigued the leg muscles, but made for a much more varied and enjoyable 'route' around the Trek grounds.

"Now that I’m fully recovered from the cold (and the subsequent Jingle Cross mud) … here’s to the rest of the season!"

'Cross Words
Cyclocross is here.
​Practice up, hone some skills, and read about the races that matter, from Newton to Louisville!

The Usual Suspects
Our area is lucky to have so many clubs and shops and advocates that it's hard to keep track.
​Or it was, until now.
