Mansfield Hollow report from Matt Aumiller



Matt Aumiller reported in about Mansfield on his was to MRC:

"Let me start by saying that this race is one of the best grass roots races in New England. Thread City Cycles is doing it right! A beautiful and challenging venue, free food, primes for catching the guy in the chicken suit. You name it. The racing is top notch, but much lower stress than the verge series.

The course is long...canton long. About 9minute lap times. It features some challenging cambers, two beach sections, and up to 6 dismounts per lap. This race is CT's best kept secret.

In round 3 of the Zancontato Single Speed CX series, a lead group of Cort Cramer, Doug Kennedy, and Shawn Mottram led from the start. Mottram broke a spoke bunny hopping a log. Kennedy and Cramer pulled away and Mottram fought his way back through the field to a hard earned third place. Cramer pulled away from Kennedy securing the win, while Kennedy finished second."

Great race report Matt! Can't wait to here about MRC!

Cort FTW!!!!

Round 2 of the Zanconato Single-Speed CX Trophy series went off wednesday night in Lancaster at the MindnightCX put on by MRC! It was one of the best cx races I have ever been to. Huge props to Gary David, Russ Campbell and all of MRC for putting on such a great night race. The single-speed race had 50 racers! And it was fast! Big gears were the call for sure. Curtis Boivin and Cathy Rowell both went home with the win! And custom Lantern Trophies courtesy of MRC and beer courtesy of High & Mighty!

Hats off to those who doubled up! It was no easy task lining up right after the 3/4 mens race or doing a race right before the women's 1/2/3/! The series is going great. Each race brings new faces out and the racing has been fast but also sooo much fun. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it and supported single-speed cx!
