From the winter snow to the peak summer highs, Grant’s Tomb proved that it’s a season highlight regardless of weather. With nearly 450 unique starters and 14 fields, we had an action packed day of racing, filled with the positive competitive spirit that inspires all of us to roll up at the start line. CRCA is incredibly thankful for all of the club members, teams, staff, and sponsor support that made this race so special.

NYSBRA Crowns Time Trial Champions
Beautiful weather and a great turnout greeted riders yet again to rural Tioga Center for “The Race of Truth.” Riders started at minute intervals to give everything they had over their race distance of either 10k, 20k, or 40k. Many riders chose to double up entries or actually double up on racing, doing either 60k or even 80k total for the day! Many of these tough racers first did an Individual TT by race category or age, then turned around and did either an “Eddie Merckx” non-aero race, tandem, or a Team Time Trial (because suffering is so much more fun with friends!) Congratulations to all the new NYSBRA State Time Trial champions and competitors!
NYSBRA Gravel Grinder State Champions
Since we got the idea of getting a few like-minded friends together for a fun and hard day on the bike, over the years we have endured it all. From freezing rain & sleet blasted at us with driving winds, then changing the date to June and getting oppressive heat, to this year four, when NatiFo finally got the perfect weather such a sweet course deserves. We had a perfect day and those of us that like racing our bikes opted to spend it doing just that! The dirt roads were hard and fast. The sky was clear and blue. The air dry and warm. The Burdett Fire Company chicken dinner was delicious. The Garrett’s beer was fresh and cold! Let’s do it again! Thanks to all for a great NYSBRA State Champs!

The CRCA Bear Mountain Classic crowns new Road Race Champions
On 7May, with incredibly challenging weather, CRCA’s Bear Mountain Classic was a test of not only a racer’s fitness & tactics, but their willpower as well. Everyone who stepped up to the starting line helped create an inspiring and positive race, and as Race Director I am enormously grateful for all the support from NYSBRA and CRCA members who were critical for making the day a success. Looking forward to seeing how Bear challenges us next year! – Alex Klafehn
