Victory has a sweet flavor. The sweetness is made even more acute when victory comes from solid teamwork. Last weekend at the Poolesville road race, District Velocity’s new member Aaron Hotaling tasted an ice cream brownie sundae with whip cream, cherry and hot fudge on his way to the victory in the Cat 5 race. [...]
This weekend the top of the podium in two states was occupied by a pair of District Velocity’s finest. Starting up north at the Eastern Collegiate Conference Championship, Hannah Arem again donned Yale’s finest and went to work. First in the team time trial and then in the road race. In the team time [...]
Our cup runneth over this weekend at the All-American Road Race…you know the one formerly known as Murad, and Ft. Ritchie. While the exact contours of the contemporary podium (is it 3 or is it now 5 spots) is no longer clear, we are confident that 7 top tens on the weekend is a solid [...]
Among the prizes of the MABRA calendar the Jefferson Cup stands pretty darn tall. Every inch of the course is hotly contested. Even the neutral roll-out is contested. In fact, it might not be an overstatement to say that it’s the fastest neutral roll-out east of the Mississippi. You would either have to be a [...]
Three weeks into the 2013 season and DVR has it’s third podium. Hannah Arem, taking a sabbatical from her time in in DVR blue and white, donned the blue and white (largely black because we all know that black is the new black this season) of her alma mater, Yale, and joined her college teammates [...]
Frederick the Great of Prussia has been quoted as saying “l’audace, l’audace, toujours l’audace” which translates to “boldness, boldness, in all things boldness.” As hoped, neh, believed, one of District Velocity Racing’s newest additions Patrick Jarenwattananon a/k/a/ PJ, soundly accepted that mantra and with boldness befitting Frederick himself, took the win this past weekend in [...]
Bike Doctor’s Black Hills Circuit Race has marked the beginning of MABRA’s race calendar for the last couple of years. Despite its relative youth Black Hills has quickly taken its place among MABRA’s Spring classics. Before this weekend, we’ve dabbled a bit here and there, racing down in Williamsburg at the Tide Water Winter Classic [...]
The off-season is the best time to make progress in fitness, form, equipment, etc. . . That is what a wise man once told this commentator. Grayson Church took that advice to heart last off-season and came into the 2012 season with incredible form and lots of miles in his legs. It was as clear [...]
Here at District Velocity p/b Bicycle Pro Shop we love America, we love fireworks and we love bike racing. While we have found no constitutional “scholar” to agree with us; we are positive that the emanations and penumbra of the Constitution clearly indicate that the Founding Fathers would have encouraged everyone to race their bike [...]
This picture was snapped by District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop teammate Marcus during the Cat 4 Men’s race, which was shortened for pretty obvious reasons. And oddly enough, this marks the second year running that a race has been cut short at the Dawg Days of Summer Circuit Race due to rainstorms of [...]
