Justin and I made the long drive to Breckenridge, Colorado, to compete in this event on challenging high-altitude single-track.  With typical stage lengths of three to four hours with six thousand feet of elevation gain, it was tough to recover each day so that we could race at full speed later in the week. I […]

Justin and I wrapped up our racing in Virginia at USA Cycling’s mountain bike national championships yesterday with a win for me in the men’s 55-59 XC race and top finishes for Justin in the under-23 short track and XC.  Justin had epic rainy conditions in his XC race, which made the roots and mud

Justin and I are in the heat and humidity of Roanoke, VA this week for three different mountain bike national championship events.  The first of these was yesterday with the marathon event (~3-4 hrs) and later in the week are the short track (~20 minutes) and cross country (~90 minutes) events. On Monday Justin set

  This event on Vancouver Island in British Columbia has been on my radar for a few years with its focus on racing on technical single track for seven straight days!  The first stage started off with a relatively short 17-mile ride, but only 5 miles of this was timed, consisting of a twisty single-track

Justin, Heather, and I all raced in one of California’s largest gravel events this past weekend in Portola.  Heather took 2nd in the age 51-60 women’s 64 mile race, and I struggled with leg cramps to finish 7th in the 51-60 men’s 97 mile race.  But the star of the show was Justin who battled

Justin and I returned for the second year to this event in Carson City, NV that has a somewhat unique format of three timed gravel segments that are added together to determine the overall standings.  This makes the rest of ride pretty enjoyable in that you don’t have to suffer and can ride with family/friends

Justin – UCI Elite short track and UCI U23 XC Just a few days after getting home from Puerto Rico, my Dad and I repacked our things and drove down to Temecula for the US Pro Cup at Vail Lake. I had a midterm in the afternoon so we didn’t leave until rush hour and

Hi Team, I made the trip with Justin to the Cyclocross National Championships, which were held in Louisville, Kentucky, for the second year in a row.  I raced the Men 55-59 event on Friday, and Justin was racing twice with the collegiate race on Thursday and the U23 Men on Saturday.   The course was

Missoula Montana hosted this year’s championships which were open to racers from the US, Canada, Central America, and South America.  The northernly location meant that it was mostly US and Canadian riders in attendance, but there were strong fields to battle for the coveted PanAm jerseys that were on the line.  I raced four times

Justin and I made the journey to Bear Creek Mountain Resort near Allentown, PA to contest the Mountain Bike National Championships for XC and short track.  I was focused on trying to repeat my title from 2022 in the 50-54 age group and Justin hoped to get inside the top 10 in the U23 races.

Justin and I made the journey to Louisville, Kentucky for what we expected to be a wet and muddy battle against the nation’s fastest cyclocross riders. Our first events were on Thursday with Justin racing the collegiate race in the morning with me in the afternoon for the 50-54 event. Justin then finished off the

Hi Team, We had a number of LGBRC racers at the first two cyclocross races of the season this past weekend with Justin Peck taking the Men’s A race win at both events!  The two courses were completely different with Saturday’s VSRT in Livermore on a super dusty course with lots of loose cornering and

Justin and I finished up the 6-day Breck Epic mountain bike stage race on Friday with some solid results at this high altitude event in Breckenridge, Colorado.  The single track in this area is amazing (and occasionally rocky) with all six stages starting right in downtown Breckenridge and heading out in a different direction each

Justin and I traveled to hot and humid Bear Creek Resort in Pennsylvania the past few days for the MTB national championships for XC and short track.  We each wrote race reports from our different events so you will receive two separate emails since we each wrote a fair amount.

Hi Team, Last week my dad and I flew out to mountain bike nationals at Bear Creek Resort in Pennsylvania, a totally different venue than the previous few years in Winter Park. Although it was great to be competing at sea level, this area presents its own difficulties in the hot, humid, and often rainy

Justin and I raced the Grinduro gravel event in Mt Shasta this past weekend, and we each came away with the win in our categories (Pro men for Justin and 50-59 for me).  It is a somewhat unique format in that there are four timed stages spread throughout the 61 mile course.  The stages are

The Peck family all got out to race the 26 mile MTB event this past Sunday, with cool cloudy conditions making for fast racing without any concerns of overheating.  Anna and I did not make the podium, although I came close with a 4th place finish in the men’s 50-59 field of over one hundred

Hi Team, Justin and I raced in Granite Bay last weekend on a slightly muddy course that tested our ability to sprint up short rises and corner in varying dirt conditions.  Justin finished 2nd in the Pro category and I was first in the 50+ expert division.  The start was one big group for all the

Hi Team, Justin and I did our first race of the year with limited success, but we look forward to better fitness and improved luck in the weeks to come.  Justin was just behind the solo leader in the Pro race with a healthy 6 minute gap when he took a wrong turn just 3

Hi Team, Justin and I traveled this past week to attend this cold and muddy event in New England.  Justin was racing the collegiate and U23 race and I was challenging the 50-54 men’s field.  The first event was the collegiate men on Thursday, so we arrived in time to check out the course on
