Race Report by Hays Edmunds

"The Cavalier Mountain Bike Classic was my first collegiate race, my first race on my mountain bike, and my first podium! I am very happy with my performance in this race but I have some skills to work on going forward. The constant rain during and leading up to this race made it extra muddy and super slick. When I'm more experienced on my bike I hope to take the corners and hit the descents faster. Luckily, I can go to Carvin's Cove for the perfect practice."

 

Race Report by Rafe Johnson

"What a crazy, exhilararting way to start out cycling!! Of all the races I could have called my "first race" who would have thought it would be such a unique one? The course was super rough (for me), it was raining, and not to mention the whole team was just created! I am so excited to learn more about cycling, and I am already loving this team."
