NYSBRA hosts first and only Esports State Championships!

Posted on by

NYSBRA hosted the only state Esports championship in the United States in March, crowning Chad Tavernia and Jennie Hansen as the first New York’s Open Men and Open Women Champions, respectively.  Presented by the Western New York Bike Racing Club, the intensity on Zwift was brutal in both fields, with Chad and Jennie breaking away early and holding off their chasers for the whole race.  We plan to build the event next year with a race around the end of January, adding a commentator, corporate sponsorship, and a live stream.  Get ready!

Uncle Sam hosts NYSBRA CX Champs!

Posted on by

The 17th Uncle Sam Grand Prix was honored to host the NYSBRA Championship. Uncle Sam was the 2nd & 3rd stop in the 2023 CBRCX Series p/b Commonroots & Unified Beer Works. 117 racers competed on Sunday (day 2) of USGP ready to win a title! With the weather forecast for a wet and muddy weekend, the patterns shifted in our favor and we enjoyed a sunny and dry weekend of racing. A fast yet challenging course with off-camber descents, grinding up hills, and just the right amount of pavement was the perfect course to host a Championship race. We had over 20 racers U15 competing and clanking cowbells all day encouraging their friends lap after lap. Capital Bicycle Racing Club continues to strive to make opportunities for juniors to race and ride their bikes at the highest level and would like to thank NYSBRA for the opportunity to win a state title.  Nicholas Groll- Race Director.
