The Green Mountain Stage Race is a celebration of sorts. For me, it marks the end of an incredible road season and the beginning of my schooling in cyclocross. Rather than recount all that went down during the race as so many have already done, I wish to offer some highlights for the 2012 edition. …

I had two goals for this week: 1) An exceptional opening week at school and 2) a respectable opening stage at GMSR. I have not done GMSR in 9 years. My goal was to get as close to 15 minutes as I could on the opening stage. Based on the times from last year, I …

The road race at Lake Sunapee was moved this year from its original date to mid-June. Fields were condensed which impacted the CAT 3 riders primarily. They had to jump in with the Pro 1,2 field. Not an easy day for our own Christian Verry, who is not quite old enough to race the 40+. …

Over the last ten days there has been lots of racing. Last Wednesday about half of the Burris Logistics – Fit Werx squad headed to the Thunder Road Race track for a “Points” race. This is a new event for our region and a fun one at that! Points are awarded every 4-5 laps based …
