Happy Mothers Day weekend!

Before we post a single thing, let's remember the most important event happening this weekend is Mother's Day! Don't forget to thank the moms in your life for all they do for you! 

• Friday Night Ride will go on for any hardy souls willing to brave the mist and the fog - although any thunderstorms will cancel. Start time is now officially 6 p.m.
• Saturday, May 10 - want a sneak peek at the Rumble in the Jungle race course? Come on out and help us rake and cut back any face-slappers and you'll get a close up first hand look! Meet us at the gate at 12 p.m., and we'll work for about 2 hours or so. We'll work in light rain, but heavy rain will cancel. This is not a Paydirt event, just a chance to get an early look at the race course. 
• Weather permitting, Saturday will also be the grand opening of the West Milford Family Pumptrack for 2014! Some changes from 2013 await all you dirt riders. Any rain will cancel - rain date will be Sunday, May 11. 
• Sunday, May 11, TTC members Cliff and Diana will be headed to NYS for a long scenic road ride (though you may want your cross tires for some of those gravely roads!) They will leave from Margretville, NY at 10 a.m (about 2 hours away by car). They will be doing a shortened version of this route - planning on about 65 miles. Some good climbing, gravely roads, and great scenery! Contact Cliff directly for more info. 

Have a great weekend everyone - especially all our favorite moms! 

TTC downhill racers = awesome results!

Team Town Cycle is pumped to add two new downhill racers to our race team family this year - Quinton Johnson and Titus Nicholson. They attended the first big race of the year in PA this weekend, the Duryea Downhill - part of the Gravity East series. Quinton had a great race, finishing 7th in the Cat. 2 18 and under, and Titus finished an outstanding 2nd in the Open Mens 14 and under.

Wicked results guys - congrats!

Titus hits the big log!

Quinton getting some air!

Meet the 2014 Team Town Cycle Race team! Weekend after weekend, they are out there putting the TTC name out in the spotlight. Our race team may not be the largest, but they are well respected in the road, cyclocross, BMX, downhill and mountain biking worlds for both their competitiveness and for their sportsmanship. They are great ambassadors for our club, team and cycling, and we just wanted to take a moment to thank them for all their hard work and dedication! 

A recent weekend had Ethan Huggins winning the Mens Middle School A class at our Juniors in the Jungle race, along with BJ Kisch and Tom Bowmaster tackling the competitive and challenging High Point Hill Climb TT, finishing a highly respectable 15th and 4th in their respective classes. Meanwhile, at the H2H Chainstretcher race at Blue Mountain, mountain bike racers Mike Moskowitz and Dave Schwartz battled a huge field in the Cat. 2 40-49 class,  while Nick Lando won the Pro/Open Men's Class, with Dillon Van Wart finishing 5th and David Kahl finishing 8th in the same class. David Van Wart also hit the podium at Blue, finishing 2nd in the Cat. 1 Singlespeed class. And this was just one weekend of racing! 

Stay tuned for more news about our TTC racers as the season progresses!
