There’s light at the end of the tunnel.
The days are longer and high temperatures no longer have a minus (-) sign in front of them.
But the team had riders active (and picking up strong results) through the darkest and coldest months of the year.
We’re all looking forward to snow-free rides and that first accidental sunburn of the season in March.

The 2025 season marks a decade of racing and riding for the team.
We’ve covered a lot of tarmac, dirt, mud, grass and snow in the past 10 seasons.
We’re looking forward to what the decade decade of racing in the upper Midwest and the nation have to bring (besides drastically new age groups for all of us).

CAMBRIDGE, WISC. – Julie Phelps reached a career milestone Nov. 16 at the CamRock & Roll CX race near Madison when she started her 400th career race.
Phelps began racing ‘cross in 2009. She capped off her Ironwoman milestone with a slow-motion bike throw for the “win” while riding with women’s singlespeed “tootle train” in the Women’s 1/2/3 SS race.
The event was commemorated by the Gelbbrucke squad out of Milwaukee
Phelps completed races 401 to 403 the following day.
A dry October in much of the upper Midwest helped save wear and tear on a lot of gear as the ‘cross season hit full stride then mountain bike season entered its final phases.
Team members put up a number of strong results — nabbing wins and podiums at large events like Trek Cup and small local races.

August saw both the road and mountain bike seasons start the inevitable process of winding down.
It was a good month for the team on both the pavement and the dirt with a number of wins and podiums, as well as one MTB state championship title.

GVR riders have a lot to be proud of in June.
We had a great run at Tour of America’s Dairyland that saw Tracy Peters in a leaders jersey for most of the Colby Series of races while Gabby Wrightsman (U19) put up a solid 11 days of racing. The Men’s 2/3 crew of Chad Cannon and Jura Gerlach was at the front during the first half of the series, while Carly Sample (U19) made her crit racing debut at De Pere (with a second-place finish).
On the mountain bike side, our U19 riders (Maddie LeBeau, Archer Munson, Aidan Otradovec and Joseph McCrary) put up a string or podiums and nice results in the WORS Series of races. More importantly, they had fun.
It’s on to another big month of racing of in July!
