Today our road team wrapped up the 2021 season with a fun social ride to New Freedom, PA and back. The kids were riding awesome. Forty two miles round trip and the longest ride ever for three of our juniors.
We hand delivered the new BYC gnome to Mr. Gene at Gnome Village and we were joined by the gnome’s painter, BYC mom, Terri Berkheimer. See if you can spot the gnome the next time you are on the NCR trail.
While there wasn’t a lot of road racing for the younger riders this year, many of our kids made it out to some gravel and mountain bike events and a few even tried their hand at the Tuesday Night Time Trial (TNTT) and racked up some awesome times!
Coach Hans also organized a great “BYC Day at the Track” at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center velodrome in Pennsylvania. This has become a favorite annual event for the BYC road team.
After a really fun road season, the team will take a well deserved rest before cyclocross practices start in August.
Special thanks to coaches Hans Ruppenthal and Nick Brandt for running our 2021 road program practices.
