Salt City CX Crowns New NYSBRA CX Champs!

Posted on by

After a 9 year hiatus, we were excited to return the NYS Cyclocross Championship to the Syracuse region. Over 100 racers from across the state (as well as PA and ON) competed on the legendary Long Branch Park course, which has hosted cyclocross racing for over 35 years. Not even 40+ mph wind gusts could stop the racers from having a day full of fun on a challenging course. Thank you to NYSBRA for granting us the opportunity to host the race; we appreciate your support in keeping bike racing active throughout all of NY!

Posted on by

On Sunday, 25Sep, Ben Brown broke the record for longest one-hour ride on the Kissena Velodrome, held since 2008 by Ken Harris.  Ben’s epic ride now sets the bar 44.540, upping Ken’s record by 370 meters.  This is 27.676 mph!  Read all about it and see the photos.  Congratulations, Ben!

NYSBRA recognizes the official New York State Hour Records in all NYSBRA Championship Categories and Age Groups.  Many records have yet to be set, so if you are inspired by Ben’s ride, give it a try and see if you can get your name in the record book!

Thanks to Andrew Johnson for being NYSBRA’s official, Jason Gallacher for Technical Support, and Matt Vandivort for photos (above) and the great coverage at tobedetemined.cc.
