Race Reports

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, The last two weekends I had the opportunity to race for USA Cycling at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup in Snowshoe, West Virginia and Mont Saint Anne, Quebec! I competed in the U23 cross country events, racing against the fastest mountain bike athletes from development, factory, and national teams around the world.

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

Last weekend my mom and I drove out to Utah for the Soldier Hollow Bike Festival, which included UCI elite short track and cross country races. This event was postponed from its original date in May due to lasting snow conditions, making it the final race before national championships next week. Riders came from all

Hi Team, Last weekend I traveled to Montana for the Missoula XC. This year they had 3 cross country races and a short track, all UCI races and part of the Junior World Series. I was only able to make it out for two race days, but I made the most of my short trip.

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, Last week I competed in several xc mountain bike races in Bentonville, Arkansas. It was the second round of the US Cup Series, including one short track and two cross country events (UCI HC). I raced U23 cross country and elite short track. Planning to miss the whole week of classes at Berkeley,

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

Exchequer MTB Race 40+ Expert 4 of 15 Amazing venue! Plenty of camping and amazing views. Course is directly adjacent to the Barrett Cove campgrounds and has 15+ miles of fun single track. XC course starts with a long 2.5 mile climb with a steep descent on a black diamond trail then some fast rollers

Bariani RR 20/47 P12 80miles Course was changed and shortened due to flooding in the farmland across the 505. We did a 10 mile loop leaving from Bariani Olive Oil, right on frontage road, right onto super rollers, right onto climb then back to the start for a 10 mile loop. Tons of wind especially

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
