Grateful.
For the opportunity to compete against the World’s best in the biggest cyclocross event the US has ever seen. For the crew that worked incredibly hard to make it possible for so many athletes. For the partners that offer endless support so that we can continue to reach for the stars. For the experience that serves as a foundation for great things.

After missing her opportunity twice as a Junior due to a broken hand and the pandemic, Lauren finally gets a chance to show her stuff against the best in the World today.
Good luck Little One! You’ve got the entire country on your side.

The theme for our trip: Adaptation.
We structured a plan to return home post Nats. To get a bit of recovery and a block of training. To find comfort by sleeping in your own bed and spending the holidays with friends and family. We would then travel to Belgium and race 4 times in 16 days on the ground, skipping the World Cups instead filling the days with UCI races that would favor where we are in our development process.
Just 10 days before what ended up being our new departure date, the later two races in our schedule were canceled due to the ever changing COVID landscape.
Each and every person on this team made sacrifices and compromises. The squad did everything we could to make this happen. 4 races in 8 days. Immediately after touch down abroad. Including an Elite World Cup.
Rather than this trip being full of breakout performances, it becomes a path of baby steps towards bigger goals. Experiences that can’t be duplicated at home.
We head back to Colorado to get the mind sharp, the heart happy and the body ready for what we hope will be World Championships selections.

This is why racing abroad is so critical to a young rider’s development. It’s impossible to re-create the environment, level of competition and more technical course nature that they encounter here.

Kicking off our transatlantic adventures in Loenho

Kicking off our transatlantic adventures in Loenhout proved to be a bit of an uphill battle after a quick turnaround, hitting the ground in the Netherlands just yesterday. But, a few days to settle in should have us ready for Hulst on Sunday!

A picture says 1000 words. While I could easily write 4000 words to recap all the hard work, detailed preparation, mental fortitude, physical pain and emotional woes, it’s unnecessary.
We came to win medals. That didn’t happen this year. But, it will. “Trusting the process” is indefinite. While we shift focus to our upcoming European campaign and World Championships, we simultaneously fine tune the plan to support the future of our existing riders and add new young talent capable of obtaining our team goals.
No one ever said it would be easy.

We came to Massachusetts to immerse ourselves in the historical epicenter of American cyclocross. We found that and so much more! The cross community is strong and welcoming here. In addition we found great competition that pushes each of us in our quest to continuously improve.
While Lauren sat out Day 1 of NoHo CX for a bit of rest, she took the top U23 step the next 3 races and placed well inside the top 10 of the Elite Women’s races. Jules traded the jersey each race with @samnoel2000 and ended up getting some help from Ross in the final round to secure his own U23 series leader jersey.
The entire squad is hitting their stride at just the right time with all eyes on some even fancier championship jerseys in the next few weeks.

The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity.
When Jules moved across the country before his 18th birthday, during a pandemic, we knew he was all in. Together we crafted a plan and dreamt of the ascension. He’s put the work in and stays focused on much larger goals. But stepping stones like your first Elite podium are to be cherished along the way.

Brick by brick. 🧱 The entire squad is getting stronger each and every race.
Ross earned himself that coveted UCI point with a 15th place in Saturday’s @cincycx C1, with Jules just ahead in 13th and Lauren with her first C1 Top 10, finishing in 8th place! Sam was sooo close finishing just 5 seconds out of the points in 17th and then Michaela matched that performance in the treacherous mud on Sunday. Some recovery, training and sleep at home, then off to Indy this weekend for another crack at it!

It’s happening.
After a few ups and downs in the last 24 hours, we saw a bit of hesitation creeping in to Jules’s brain space. Today’s C2 tamped down any of those demons. He went deep. He fought those feelings head on and beat them. With 8 UCI points he now will start on a level playing field with his peers. Watch out world. We have a plan and have no intention of slowing down any time soon.
