CCNS athlete Kristin Anderson battled through more than a few tough races this season (hello Quabbin RR 2019!) on her way to a strong cyclocross campaign. Her CX season culminated in an upgrade to Category 3.

CCNS athlete Lisa Lochner is a great example of how being willing to try something new can work out great! She’s also a perfect case example of why cyclocross is so popular these days. We sat down with her as she is halfway through her furst full season of ‘cross.

We are thrilled to welcome a Vivien to CCNS. He spent much of his summer off from college at the office, getting know to many of our clients, and helping us plan some fun CCNS projects that are coming up!

CCNS athletes have been enjoying solid early season results during the months of March and April. Whether you are a new racer or a seasoned master, congratulations to everyone who is seeing the rewards for their hard training!
