Wet. That was the weekend. If it was still March it probably would have been a great weekend to ride. At least “summer” is only a few weeks away.

Whoa! We hit the jackpot of photos from three days of racing this weekend in Wisconsin’s Fox River Valley. Oh, and we had some nice results, too!

Here’s a short video of the start of the run-in to the finish in the men’s 35+ 3/4 race in Sunday’s race.

Pretty full weekend of bike-related activities with riders at road and dirt events in three states.

Here’s a sampling of photos from many of those events. A rundown of team results can be results can be found here.

The first of the 2017 Wisconsin mountain bike races are in the books, and, so far, the season is off to a pretty good start.

From crits to massive group rides it was a fast-paced weekend for members of GVR. With nice weather and temps in the 60s and 70s a few folks have sunburns to help them remember the weekend.

Soigneur duties

There was a lot of pink and yellow spread across the rural roads of Vernon County, Wisc., this past weekend for the 2017 edition of the GVR Spring Camp.

Riding was based out of Logan Mill Lodge is Westby and there was plenty of elevation gain to go with the week’s mileage totals. The team even got a nice sunny day for our first event quasi-formal team photos and the start of new tan lines for the season.

Stops at team partners Borah Teamwear (Coon Valley, Wisc.) and Organic Valley (La Farge, Wisc.) rounded out the weekend.

By the time you read this it will officially be spring. That means only two more months of cold rides with nasty head- and crosswinds.

The team wrapped up winter riding by working on some road racing skills Saturday and by enduring 58 (of 66) miles of head and crosswinds on Sunday. Racing gets underway in earnest in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for race reports soon!

Here are a few photos from recent rides:

When you’re given a 50-degree weekend in the middle of the winter in Wisconsin you take advantage of it. Here’s hoping the benefits of these early-season miles will still be in full effect in November!

Some people were still racing bikes on snow this weekend too. Team results can be found here.
