June 7, 2012 by Leave a Comment

 

Saturday was the Jr Road Race Championships as well as a handful of non-championship races.

Christina Fuentes, Kenyon Pape, Charlie and Parker Rous all took part in the Jr Races. Charlie was 8th in the 12.5 mile 10-12′s & Parker was 11th on the 25mile 13-14′s!! All finished, not sure of all of the places, but from the smile on their faces, I’d say they had fun!

Many other local cyclist through their leg over the bike on Saturday to take on Event Promoter Sam Ames Championship course. I dont have all the placings and names yet, but you know who you are;) [Read more...]

Future of the Sport – Junior dirty Girls in the I.E. by Hilary Crowley: SkyFlash

McKenzie Cross-race

 

When did you start cycling competitively?  For me it was at the ripe old age of 30 and as I staged alongside junior’s like Coryn Rivera when we were both Cat 3’s, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to have started sooner.

 

Meet Madelaine and McKenzie Melcher, ages 16 and 17 respectively.  These sophomore and senior siblings are putting themselves on the map regionally and nationally in three disciplines of the sport: road, cyclo-cross and cross-country mountain biking.  Since they started racing in 2011, they have completed more than 30 races from the SoCal region to Idaho and Monteray.

Los Olivos, Calif. — Perhaps National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) founder Matt Fritzinger described it best. He had ridden a lap behind one of the races in the afternoon. At the awards ceremony later, he said that two words came to mind during his six-mile reconnaissance: “Rotisserie chicken.” [Read more...]

Meet Matt Freeman (another “Voice” on Cyclingillustrated.com)

May 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

 

 

Matt Freeman loves to ride and write. He’s using CyclingIllustrated.com to write about his passion for two wheels, which is refreshing since he’s been stuck writing marketing gobble-de-gook for software companies for the last five years.

 

He spent the first 20 years of his life racing off-road motorcycles. Between 1996 and 2003, Freeman worked in the motorcycle industry writing/editing for companies such Dirt Rider magazine, Cycle News, American Suzuki Motor Corp., Kawasaki Motors Corp., and American Honda Motor Company. During that time he learned the ropes of factory racing, helping to manage press relations for Suzuki corporate, Kawasaki’s factory road race and drag race teams, and Honda’s factory motocross, road race, and off-road teams.

 

 

In 2000, Freeman began riding bicycles to rehab a torn ACL that he had suffered during a photo shoot. By 2005 he had attained USA Cycling/International Cycling Union (UCI) Professional/Elite status in the cross country mountain biking discipline, Category 1 in cyclocross, and Category 2 in road cycling. His mountain bike racing highlights span a decade, ranging from the 2003 California State Cross Country Endurance Championship to a 2008 National Mountain Bike Series Singlespeed win at Windham Mountain Ski Resort in New York, to numerous professional podium finishes in the California State Cross Country Mountain Bike Series. He prefers mountain bike racing to road racing, but still rides his road bike 70-percent of the time, and seldom misses a Redlands Tuesday night Sunset training ride.    [Read more...]

SoCal High School MTB Racing Reaches New Heights

May 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment

The SoCal High School Cycling League Series reached its high point — in every meaning of the phrase — for the 2012 season in the thin air of the Lake Arrowhead, California. The San Bernardino Mountains were once again the setting for the “Power the Pinnacles” event, but this year it carried considerably more consequence. In 2012 it served as the fifth and final round of the season, making it the literal and figurative summit of months of training and competing for more than 250 student-athletes and their many supporters. Most class and team championships and final point standings would be determined at over 5500 feet of elevation. It also marked the completion of the fourth year of the League, and hence the graduation of a number of riders who have spent their entire high school experience as part of this rapidly growing program.

 

Perfect conditions and extremely scenic landscape made for an exceptional stage for the critical season finale of this rapidly growing program.
