ROYCE'S RIDE!!!

Hi Everyone!  Here's the route for tonight's ride:



Keep an eye on the weather and fingers crossed the rain holds out.  If we decide to cancel, we'll do it at the regular time.  Hope to see you all tonight!

KING OF THE MOUNTAINS! (or Monday's rides)

We hope you all had a great weekend and got a chance to enjoy the amazing weather. Since we got rained out last week, we're going to use the same routes that were posted for last week's rides. The weather for tomorrow looks amazing by the way (it's about time). Bring that sunblock!! See you all tomorrow night!!

Root 66 Series Race #5: Domnarski Farm

Ricky, finishing with a smile

This past Sunday was the fifth race in the Root 66 series - Domnarski Farm.  There were new faces, more podiums, and some expansive mud puddles to play in. 

Domnarski is a mix of technical climbing, fast rocky double track, some fun twisty singletrack, and a couple of interesting wet spots*.  It's a well-run race, and the Domnarskis are more than welcoming, with a bike wash and pond to swim in afterward open to all.  It's also one of the only races to reward racers with straight-up cash.  Despite three flats, one superman, and some impromptu tree encounters, the CEC team ended the day with twelve top-five finishes. 

*'Floating skinnies, short rock bridges, and puddles you couldn't necessarily see the bottom of this time around post-rain.  Spicy!

Royce, tearing it up

Sean Rudzinsky laid down the power in his first mountain bike race, and won the men's Cat 2 30-39 race with a sub-hour lap.

New team members Tina and Brett Severson brought big smiles and killer legs.  Tina took 1st in the women's Cat 2 19-34 category, and Brett was 5th of 43 men in Cat 2 30-39.  Welcome, guys!  

Jen was poised for a 3rd place finish in Cat 2 ladies when she got rad airing out around the Tree of Death, and flatted.  Never a quitter, she fixed it up, and finished just one spot behind in 4th. Badass.

Jen and Pam, looking good crossing the line

CEC Women's Ride

Hello Ladies!

So far no rain today, and if it continues we'll get out for another great ride.  You can view the route here for tonight.  Don't be afraid of Stafford Road.  It is a bit of a hill, but we're ready for it.  There will be a great down hill on Mountain Road to enjoy once we beat that climb.

Looking at the hourly forecast for this evening there is a 45% chance of rain at 5pm.  We'll keep an eye on the radar, and if we need to cancel we'll make the call by 4pm.  Check Competitive Edge Cycling on facebook or call the EL shop for updates. 

Hope to see you all tonight!

-Jen

ROYCE'S RIDE!!!

Here's the route!  Hope to see you all there.

MONDAY...another rainy Monday.

well, as I am sure the rest of you will agree, this rain is getting ridiculous!  We're supposed to be looking at yet another rainy week.

But either way, we'll keep our fingers crossed that the rain holds off.  If and when we decide to cancel the ride, we'll do so at the regular time of 3:30PM on the day of the ride.  Now on to Monday's rides...







Stay tuned to our Twitter and Facebook for all the latest and greatest!  Hope to see everyone this week!
