The 2023 NYSBRA Criterium State Championships were hosted by the Main St Bikes Garrett’s Brewing Race Team in Trumansburg, 12Aug. With an ever-changing forecast and hit or miss showers all around, we stayed dry for all but the Elite Men’s race. We had was a fantastic day of DownTown Crit racing on a 8 turn, 1 mile residential course that is exciting to watch and a thrill to race. There are a lot of moving pieces to pulling of a downtown crit and with much help from many it all comes together. A few years into this event the crew is really getting it efficiently dialed in, so let’s grow this race! Thank you all: racers, fans, officials, timers, sponsors, villagers & Volunteers! See you next year- John Compton, Race Director

Capital Region Road Race Crowns State Champions!
With 330 registered participants, the 22nd annual NY Capital Region Race was a great success. Racers were treated to some new pavement on course, and unlike all the days in between, dry weather! New this year was the addition of junior 9-14 races on a 13 mile course, supporting Capital Bicycle Racing Club’s commitment to enhancing opportunities for junior riders. CBRC is honored to have hosted the 2023 NYSBRA Road Race Championship and as race promoter, I am grateful to ‘the village’ that helped make it happen.

Salt City CX Crowns New NYSBRA CX Champs!
After a 9 year hiatus, we were excited to return the NYS Cyclocross Championship to the Syracuse region. Over 100 racers from across the state (as well as PA and ON) competed on the legendary Long Branch Park course, which has hosted cyclocross racing for over 35 years. Not even 40+ mph wind gusts could stop the racers from having a day full of fun on a challenging course. Thank you to NYSBRA for granting us the opportunity to host the race; we appreciate your support in keeping bike racing active throughout all of NY!
