Maxwell repeats, Schempf dominates at Day 2 of Howard County Double Cross

November 22, 2009
Elkridge, MD

Following the hard day of racing Saturday at Howard County Double Cross in Schooley Mill Cross, racers returned for the third addition of Rockburn Cross with continued mild weather but soggy terrain in Elkridge, MD. Racer were met with a newly designed course with an improved start and pit that featured punchy climbs and greasy turns.

In the Women's race, C3-Athlete Serving Athletes' Leanore Pipes sought to establish herself as the woman to beat by taking the holeshot ahead of Julie Kuliecza of Alan North America Cycling and Jennifer Maxwell of ATAC Sportswear presented by the Bike Rack of Washington DC. But Maxwell, returning from her victory the previous day at Schooley Mill Cross would not be caught off guard. The lead traded between Pipes, Kuliecza, and Maxwell, but Maxwell and Pipes established a lead group of two early in the race. Maxwell attacked Pipes, but the most recent addition to C3-Athletes Serving Athletes formidable elite women's team was able to respond to Maxwell's surge. Maxwell attacked again dropping Pipes and opening a gap. Pipes dug deep to regain virtually all of the ground she had lost to Maxwell, but time was against her as Maxwell was able to hold the gap to the end. Two-time defending Rockburn champion Betsy Shogren of Cannondale Factory Racing/Backyard Bike Club rounded out the top three.

In the men's race, Wes Schempf of C3-Athletes Serving Athletes dominated the elite men's field with a solo victory. Schempf, the returning victor at Rockburn and the reigning champion of the BikeReg.com MABRAcross Series took the holeshot and began distancing himself from all his rivals, ultimately finishing 1 minute 43 seconds ahead of the next finisher from a chase group of 4 that contained Stephen Cummings of Indiana Regional Medical Center, teammates Greg Wittwer and Dave Weaver of ALAN North America Cycling Team, and Jared Nieters of Haymarket Bicycles/HomeVisit who led the MABRAcross points leaderboard coming of Urban Cross on November 15. The chase would prove hard fought for 2nd through 5th with Cummings finishing 2nd only 6 seconds ahead of Wittwer who himself was 1 second ahead of Weaver.

The MABRAcross series concludes this Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend with the Championships worth 50% more points in Taneytown, MD.

Maxwell and Dombroski work to distance their competition in the MABRA overall points race

Highland, MD
November 21, 2009

The elite men and women navigated a challenging new course at Schooley Mill Cross in Highland, MD on Saturday. The 7th race in the MABRA cross series, hosted by Team BBC, was contested in crisp and clear weather, which made for some very fast racing. Despite some soggy sections on the back side of the course, courtesy of the heavy rains the area had late in the week, the undulating slalom style course favored those who could generate a steady amount of wattage.

In the women's race Julie Kuliecza of Team Alan North America Cycling stomped up the starting straightaway to grab the hole shot by more than 4 bike lengths in front of the field of 17 women. She held that gap for half a lap before the field closed in and a nice pack formed at the front. As they hit the pavement at the end of the lap Jennifer Maxwell of Team ATAC Sportswear/Bike Rack had worked her way up to the front of the field, and once she got there she wasted little time before she started pulling away in what would end up being a solo ride to victory. Behind her Julie was fighting it out with Lenore Pipes of C3/Athletes Serving Athletes when Libbey Sheldon of T.E.A.M Fuji stormed past them to take control of second place. Lenore's teammate Elizabeth Harlow joined the group fighting for 3rd and one lap later would pull away with Julie to set up a sprint finish that Julie would win by a bike length. Lenore rolled in 15 seconds later to claim the last podium spot.

The talk around the park before the start of the men's race was focused on the tight MABRA points standings. All the major contenders were on hand to fight it out, including Jared Nieters and Joe Dombroski of Haymarket Cycles, Adam Driscoll of Adventures for the Cure, and the Alan North American Cycling team duo of Dave Weaver and Greg Wittwer. If any one man could win a couple of the last 3 races then he could take the overall points jersey home with him at the end of the season.

With that said, the hole shot was hotly contested and won by Dave Weaver and Adam Driscoll. The main contenders would jostle for position at the front for the first 2 laps before Haymarket Cycles teammates Joe Dombroski and Jared Nieters would push off the front together. Behind them Greg Wittwer solidified himself in 3rd and Wes Shempf and Jeff Bahnson teamed up to lock down 4th and 5th. Very little changed among the top 5 until lap 4 when Joe got the gap he needed to ensure a long solo ride for the win. Then on lap 6 Greg Wittwer caught a fading Nieters and took over 2nd place for good while the biggest mover of the day, Tom Jeffrey of Team Natures Path/3Sports, reeled in and passed the duo of Shempf and Bahnson to claim 3rd. Shempf eventually shook Bahnson loose and the both finished off the podium in 4th and 5th respectively.

Day two of the Howard County Double Cross weekend continues with Rockburn Cross on Sunday. The 8th race on the MABRA calendar, hosted by C3-Athletes Serving Athletes at Rockburn Park in Elkridge, MD is expected to draw another 400+ cyclocross riders out for another spectacular day of racing in Maryland.

Victory on the Sunlit Fields of Schooley Mill Cross.

Look out your window right now.

What do you see?

If you're between Richmond and New York, you probably see grey, grim, bleak rain. Rain that makes your bike, sitting in your basement/garage/mantle plead, "Please, not the trainer on Saturday. Please!"

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Not only are clear skies predicted for this weekend, but the 10-day forecast for Schooley Mill Cross has come into view promising more sun and moderate temps. Granted: the weathermen (I won't throw the weatherwomen under this bus) will change their minds three times between now and then, but you are a crosser, and the fickle hearts of men in front of green screens will not deter you from seizing victory on the sunlit fields of Howard County. Let the sun shine on your long-sleeve skinsuit and embro'd legs, and hope that Rockburn will provide more of the same!

Go to BikeReg, and be counted:

Press Release: CYCLOCROSS RACERS RETURN TO HOWARD COUNTY FOR EXPANDED RACE

Press Contact Information: BikeReg.com MABRAcross Series

SpectaSport LLC; KenG@SpectaSport.com
Ken Getchell, Account Manager, 610-397-1950


November 10, 2009; Conshohocken, PA, USA: The annual cyclocross bicycle races in Howard County’s Rockburn Branch Park has become so popular among professional and amateur racers that it has expanded to two days of racing in two different parks this year. The races, which are free to watch for local families and residents, take place on November 21 and 22 at Schooley Mill Park and Rockburn Branch Park. Both events will include food and free kid’s races, as well as hundreds of the fastest off-road bicycle riders in the East.

Cyclocross is a form of off-road bicycle racing that takes place on courses that are shorter and faster than mountain bike race courses, and has often been called the “steeplechase of bicycle racing”. The sport has a devoted following, its own publications and a nationwide web of regional, national and international series. The races in Howard County will be part of one of the most recognizable of those organizations: the BikeReg.com MABRAcross Series. One of the characteristics of the sport, which typically takes place in the fall and winter months, is that bad weather doesn’t stop the racers. In fact, the sport originated in the 1920’s when bike racers started taking their racing bikes into the woods so they could periodically get off and run to warm up their frozen feet. Today’s version of the sport includes sand pits, water crossings, and even hurdles that force racers to carry their bikes over portions of the course. Like a horse race, each race day’s event will consist of a number of races for different classes.

Schooley Mill and Rockburn Branch Parks are two of the best parks to watch the races, according to Matt Brancheau who, along with the Howard County Recreation and Parks Department, organizes and promotes the event. “Both parks are fantastic places to have a fall picnic. There is a lot of terrain to challenge the riders, and lots of room to design race tracks to international standards, and we’ve designed them for great spectating. Plus, both courses have playgrounds in the infield and we are constructing separate Kid’s Tracks at both venues. There will be great food and music, and we’ll have an announcer to keep people up-to-date and explain what’s happening in the races.”

Both race days start at 9:00 in the morning and culminate with the Pro-Elite Men’s race starting at 2:30 each day. The races on Saturday, November 21 will take place at Schooley Mill Park, located at 12975 Hall Shop Road, Highland, MD 20777. The races on Sunday, November 22 will take place at Rockburn Branch Park at 6105 Montgomery Road, Elkridge, MD 21075. Admission is free and the races continue regardless of weather.

New Course Map!

Here is the final version of Rockburn this year.  Turns out its *only* 3.2 km (not the previously advertised 3.3).  I've already touted the big changes, so see below to get in the know.  The barriers will be right next to the pit on the northwest side (most likely).



Now go register!
