PMCX #7 - Orchard Scorcher
Let’s run it back. If we aren’t racing for pies, are we really even racing? Lucky for us, we won’t have to wonder any longer as Bishops Orchards, True Cyclery, and the NHBC are thrilled to present the Orchard Scorcher Sunday December 1st. Same gracious hosts but an all new venue, this year’s course will twist and turn around the blueberry orchard at 480 New England Rd., Guilford, CT 06437. Looking forward to seeing you there.
PMCX #3 - Belltown CX II
BE SURE TO PREREGISTER -- DAY-OF REGISTRATION MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE!
We packed as much into this event as we could, and then we packed even more. As always, Belltown CX will include our trade mark "special features" and lots of fun! In fact, expect tons of fun, great people, sweet sweet music, and big prizes. We want nothing short of the best in the northeast, and we want you to come be a part of the party!
What can you expect? A great course that will be equal parts fun and challenging.
PMCX #3 - Hidden Valley Cyclocross
CROSS IS COMING BACK TO NEW HAVEN!! It's been a bit, but boyohboyohboy OH BOY are we excited to bring cyclocross back to the Elm City! We've got a new venue, a new series, and some new, first-time hosts in the guise of the New Haven Bicycling Club and True Cyclery. What could possibly go wrong? With a series name like Project Mayhem CX, (we assume? we hope?) absolutely nothing.
This year's 'cross is happening at Forbes Bluff, a secret meadow (a Hidden Valley, perhaps??), in between Fort Hale Park and the Pardee Seawall. It seems like the Big G just dropped this purpose built cyclocross course out of the heavens and right into the eastern most slice of New Haven. We can't wait to throw some tape up, carve it up, and rut it out! We're expecting lots of grass, a minimal amount of trails, loads of elevation changes, and full on run up.
