After a dreary week in NJ, NICA NJ was gifted a beautiful spring day for NICA Race #3 at Stephens. Donna supported as AM marshal hospitality, bringing stationary marshals located at various points along the course snacks, bug spray and other miscellaneous requests. In the afternoon Jeff and Serena supported as roving marshals, ensuring athletes were safe and following appropriate race etiquette. While not in their volunteer position, Donna, Serena and Jeff all supported the Riptide Warriors as coaches, ensuring athletes were prepped, staged, and received at the finish line. Matt DeFelice was in charge of a fantastic skills zone and Teresa was a stand in coach in charge of team operations in Serena’s absence while she was marshaling. Over 400 athletes participated and it felt great to be a part of it all. Congrats to our riders for having a fantastic day in the perspective teams. Results: Freshman: Grace Defelice - 3rd JT DeFelice - 2nd JV4: Jason Batin - P6 Varsity: Siena - P6 . . . . . . #NICA #NICANJ #MTBkide #xcMTB #Mountainbike #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #OrangeMud #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProduct #chamoisbuttr
This weekend was about 🏃🏻 and 🚴🏻♂️ Saturday I participated in an XC Running race at @screaminhillfarmbrewery. 15th out of over 400 runners. Can’t complain about that. Sunday I helped support @riptide_warriors as a coach and volunteered as a roving marshal at @nicanewjersey race #3. If you don’t know about NICA, reach out to me, you should be involved. #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT ————————————- #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProducts

A few months ago, I signed up for my first 5k to support our local brewery @screaminhillfarmbrewery . The hardest part of today was refraining from running so I could heal and get back to cycling. Despite not running, I had an incredible time. Jeff and I even walked there and back to add some extra steps for me. I really hope they host it again so I can participate and run it. Proud of my @riptidecawescycling team who came out for it and for snagging some podium finishes! . . . . . #runwalk #run #supportlocal #5k #cyclist #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #gotailwind #tailwindnutrition #chamoisbuttr

May 15th 2024 Clayton Park Trail Maintenance What was once a boring, eroded fall line off the back side of Toboggan Hill on old forge trail is now a beautiful flowing sustainable trail thanks in part from the hard work put in by the team this evening. Less than ideal weather didn’t detour productivity. Finishing touches were applied to this flowy partial reroute and the old trail was reclaimed so that nature can run its course while preventing wash out where the old and new trails merge. If you haven’t been to Clayton Park in a while, we encourage you to check it out, you may not even recognize it! Thank you to our team who came out to volunteer: Bill, Matt D, Jeff, Serena, JT, Grace, Faith, Eve, and Matt R . . . . . . #Dig #trailmaintenance #community #Giveback #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #OrangeMud #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProduct

On the Rocks at French Creek. Conditions were certainly difficult this year. It was a great course and a well run event. Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug...

"One of the neatest thing about gravel riding is discovering special out of the way places & things that you’d never run across on a road ride. Once on a Murder Creek ride we had to swerve through a large posse of Guinea Pigs! I’ve had numerous interactions with bears (up north) and an enormous bull (in BC, Canada). Today, at the Okelika Okey Dokey Gravel GF it was discovering a Kangaroo, in Alabama, living with a goat! I tried to get a selfie with him, but he suddenly got the zoomies and was too fast to grab a picture! "Gravel Roll” hosts some really nice rides, albeit they are only segment rides (not my favorite), but then I wouldn’t found the Roo! We had lots of Sorella club and race team members riding today, please pardon if I missed anyone, and we dominated the leaderboards! Go @jrayklein, @kathleen.quinn.921, @tbikes101 , @onion340, @betsyhard , @treschica1988 , and Sue Neurath." - Betsy @hincapiesports @atlantacycling @tifosioptics @escapetobr @dumondetech @theinfinitloop @emorysportsmedicine @ninja_mtb_performance @ridgesupply @peepslawyer @teamzealios @dashingimages @reformationbrewery @missionmovept @lactigo #sorellastrong #ridehincapie #InfinitNutrition #TifosiOptics #wearetifosi #ridgesupply #bikelawga #bikelawatl #sorellacycling

Not my best day on the bike. But still a great day with the team, and the rocks were fun.
After three cups of coffee I was finally able to muster up enough energy to salvage today with a rainy Mother's Day Ride with @s.l.defelice , and it was totally worth it!

Yesterday brought a bit of a change of pace for a Saturday morning. Despite my ongoing back/nerve issues, I pitched in at @nicanewjersey Adventure Day to help out one of my favorite people, @matts_mtbcrew, while Jeff tackled one of our favorite courses at On The Rocks, French Creek with our @riptidecawescycling team. After helping out with NICA, I squeezed in some Mother’s Day shopping for my incredible mom and mother-in-law.

Event: On the Rocks @ French Creek Location: Elverson, PA Date: 11-May-2024 Starting the morning off early @French Creek were the Endurance riders. They were met with some slick and slippery trail conditions from the rain the night before. It had become quickly apparent that the race would become survival from flatting out with the rocks. The race had progressed through the morning into the early afternoon, and more and more racers had succumbed to sidewall tears and some sort of tire issue. However, the course slowly began to tack up and was not as sloppy as it was in the morning. We finished the day off with our Pro/Cat 1 riders. There were smiles to be had everywhere and also some disappointments. Overall, everyone in attendance had a great time & those riders who didn't make it were missed. No matter how good or bad we did, we had the support of each other, and that is irreplaceable. Great work to everyone!! Riders/Results: Endurance 45+ Joel Wahlsten - 10th CAT 3 W 40+ Emily Chan - 3rd CAT 3 W 19-39 Brielle Ryan - 2nd CAT 2 W 35-49 Lauren Pagliughi - 1st CAT 2 19-29 Matt Ragan - 2nd CAT 50-59 Joe Pateman - 5th Pro/CAT 1 W Serena Defelice - 1st Taylor Wyatt - DNF — Flatted Pro/ CAT 1 Jeff Johnson - 10th . . . . . . #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #OrangeMud #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProduct #chamoisbuttr

"Southeast Gravel: Race to Valhalla - it was a tough day out there for both of us but we both powered through and dug deep to finish. It was muggy but luck was on our side and we ended up without a single drop of rain for the race. Chris took home 2nd in her category after facing a difficult second half of the race and I came in 4th in my category after a massive wipeout on a tight corner with a surprise surface change. Beautiful but brutal course." -@syamawax @hincapiesports @atlantacycling @tifosioptics @escapetobr @dumondetech @theinfinitloop @emorysportsmedicine @ninja_mtb_performance @ridgesupply @peepslawyer @teamzealios @dashingimages @reformationbrewery @missionmovept @lactigo #sorellastrong #ridehincapie #InfinitNutrition #TifosiOptics #wearetifosi #ridgesupply #bikelawga #bikelawatl #sorellacycling

This evening the managers met for discussion and dinner at Jose’s, a local Mexican restaurant near Brielle. Custom “Team Manager” hoodies were gifted to all, conveniently keeping us warm as we chose to sit outside for dinner. Discussion included initial planning for the 2025-2028 contract year, manager workload and mental health initiatives. Participation from all six managers with varying backgrounds and perspectives ensures that @riptidecawescycling continues to run smoothly and keeps the riders best interests in mind. . . . . . . . #Team #Managers #cycling #BikeFam #CyclingLife #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #OrangeMud #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #gotailwind #SquirtCyclingProduct #chamoisbuttr

We had a great, but very wet, ride at the Hincapie Chattanooga GF today! A podium day for Betsy & her Sorella Fella Walt! It was drizzling at the start but the corrals were full. The roads were wet throughout the entire course so the descents were a bit tricky. The sun popped out for a few miles and then it was a downpour for the last 10+ miles! Ugh, rain can hurt 🤪 @hincapiesports @atlantacycling @tifosioptics @escapetobr @dumondetech @theinfinitloop @emorysportsmedicine @ninja_mtb_performance @ridgesupply @peepslawyer @teamzealios @dashingimages @reformationbrewery @missionmovept @lactigo #sorellastrong #ridehincapie #InfinitNutrition #TifosiOptics #wearetifosi #ridgesupply #bikelawga #bikelawatl #sorellacycling
Go big or go home right? Safe to say my 2024 race season has not been off to a great start. Today was supposed to be my redemption race from hot springs but guess that wasn’t in the cards for me today. SEG: Race to Valhalla | 48 miles | 5167’ of vert I was actually off to a really great start, and well on my way to a course PR. I was pushing where I needed to and adequately recovering, I was well fueled and also had some much needed plain water on hand because it was super muggy out, I felt so strong and ready for this race, and the rain had held off. I was playing cat and mouse with another girl the whole time right up until the end, and even ended up pulling a guy along for a good portion of the first half of the race. Mile 30 was where everything unraveled. It was on a descent, right where the gravel turned to pavement and coming around a tight corner. I took it a touch too fast and my back wheel slid out on some of the gravel that was on the road, down I went, skidding my whole right ride across the pavement. I laid there with pain searing through by body, and eventually was able to slow my breathing and get up. My calf was aching and my whole right side covered in blood and grit. I walked down to a spot to remount my bike. 18 miles left, just 18 miles, I can finish this right? It was the toughest 18 miles, so much washboard on the gravel made every bump send searing pain through my arm, my rear derailleur took the brunt of the impact and shifting into my climbing gears was not going well. I hit a point and cried but kept on pushing. It was tough passing the last aid station and not stopping but I wasn’t going to let this keep me from finishing the race. I made sure to leave it all out there, pushing down the last stretch of Main Street for a fast finish. 4th female 19-39. Today was not my day but I’m proud of myself for pushing through the pain and finishing a tough race. Weather also held out for us which was such a blessing! @hincapiesports @atlantacycling @tifosioptics @escapetobr @dumondetech @theinfinitloop @emorysportsmedicine @ninja_mtb_performance @ridgesupply @peepslawyer @teamzealios @dashingimages @reformationbrewery @missionmovept @lactigo

If it will make you shut up, let's go.

Today is the Bike the Banks 2024 and 363 days since the crash last year. So glad that @blackmetalbike and I are still here to tell the story! This has been worse than anyone could have ever imagined but we are both still recovering and figuring things out. The amount of support this past year has been amazing including the best patch! I wear my checkered socks today as I have had a lot of victories this past year and am looking forward to more on this long road to recovery. I also have been wearing the #myroadid band that @mkelly211 got to help keep important contacts and medical information ready. #outsidersbicycleclub @outsidersbicycleclub #outsiders #ridgesupplyarsenal #ridgesupply @ridgesupplyarsenal @ridgesupply #origin8 @origin8 #flowformulas @flowformulas #cyclist #gravelcyclist #gravellife #optoutside #redbeard #survivor

Event Name: Clayton Park Trail Maintenance Location: Clayton Park, Imlaystown NJ Date: May 1 2024 (also Eve's birthday!) Volunteers: Matt D, Serena, JT, Faith, Grace, Eve, Joel, Matt R, + 10 friends From Matt- With a larger than expected turnout, we split into three groups organized by Matt D, thanks to the help of his experienced volunteers Joe (Purl) and Jason to help lead. We hiked in and worked on multiple sections of Bridges Trail. Re-routing trails is an iterative process that requires slight adjustments as the Trails Lead evaluates rainwater flow, tread compaction, and many factors as the new trail gets used. We put the finishing touches on a few new turns to smooth the tread for better water runoff, added outsope to some new trail sections where the center tread has compacted from use, and increased the size of a grade reversal to prevent water from making it down the re-route. Grace also branched off with a small crew to trim back "face slappers" down by the lake. It was a VERY productive session that is guaranteed to help improve trail conditions after inclement weather. #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #AsburyParkCyclery #TrekStoreMiddletown #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #JORBA #YouDig #TrailMaintenance #ClaytonPark #MoCoParks #MonmouthCounty #RiptideWarriors

May is Mental Health Month, and I hit the trails to find my balance. 🚵♂️ Riding through nature’s twists and turns helps me rewrite my thoughts and find peace within.

Fairhill XC 2024 — Bike racing is so hard, but so satisfying My race was littered with misfortune, but it was beautiful day, with amazing people and I still managed to put in a solid ride. 📸 @firstplacephoto #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT ————————————- #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProducts
First MASS Series race at Fair Hill, was able to jump up to the front in the start and never looked back. 2nd place on the first race of the year isn’t too shabby! #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #innerdynamicspt #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #OrangeMud #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProducts #BrielleCyclery #AsburyParkCyclery #TrekStoreMiddletown
Event: Quantico Epic Location: Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA Date:04/27/2024 Riders: Christine, Donna, Sean From Sean - The week leading up to this ride, the weather was looking excellent. Then, on the day of the ride, the skies opened up. It was not a ton of rain, but it was enough to make everything that much more technical. This ride has everything you'd ever want in a mountain bike ride - short punchy climbs, long climbs that never seem to end, and awesome flowing single track. The allure of this ride to me is that, normally, civilians can not ride on base during regular business. So, being able to ride in places that have helped train the men and women in the United States Marine Corps is a privilege that I do not take lightly. Even though the conditions were less than stellar, everyone kept their bikes upright and got to ride some amazing trails and see some incredible views. As always, it was a great day in the woods on bikes. #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #AsburyParkCyclery #TrekStoreMiddletown #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #InnerDynamicsPT #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #Maxxis #MaxxisTires #OrangeMud #FierceHazel #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProducts #QuanticoEpic #MountainBike

Quantico Epic did not disappoint! Climbs that had me begging for mercy followed by descents that made me cry. 30 miles of lessons. Until next year. #biggod #bigplans #mevsme #mtb #RiptideCawes #EPSCorp #BrielleCyclery #OGYachtBasin #JohnBWrightInsurance #MilesAheadSports #AlliAndTheHounds #innerdynamicspt ______________________ #TrekBikes #Ride100Percent #RidgeSupply #OrangeMud #FierceHazel #MaxxisTires #Maxxis #ESIGrips #SquirtCyclingProducts
