Yep, This About Sums Up Dawg Days

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 [...]

Second Place is the New Victory

There’s something about second-place finishes at Page Valley for District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop, it seems. Over the weekend, Grant finished second in the Cat 4 road race, capping off a strong season that saw him land second place in the Tour of Washington County road race and crit and third overall in [...]

Race Report: Giro di Coppi

After weeks and weeks of what seemed like crit after crit after crit, we’re solidly in the road racing segment of the season. First up was Giro di Coppi, where District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop rolled up in a number of fields. Our best showing was in the Cat 4 race, where Matt [...]

Race Report: Reston Town Center Crit

In last week’s Tour of Washington County, the District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop Cat 4 men put on quite a display, finishing first, second and fourth in the Sunday crit. At yesterday’s Reston Town Center crit, that same show of force yielded another win for the team (by the same guy that won [...]

Race Report: Another Stellar Tour of Washington County

The Tour of Washington County just seems to suit District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop. After a strong showing in a variety of fields in 2009, our strong Cat 4 squad showed up this past weekend feeling motivated and ready to do some damage. After the prologue on Saturday morning, Grant emerged as our [...]

Race Report: Ride Sally Ride

For totally unrelated and random reasons, District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop hasn’t had much luck at Ride Sally Ride over the last two years. In 2009, a nasty crash led to an aborted Cat 4 race, and last year the Cat 3 race was called a lap early as a massive thunderstorm rolled [...]

Race Report: Leonardtown Crit

This picture pretty accurately sums up our highlight of the weekend: Chas took second place in the Masters 4/5 race at Leonardtown! Not only did he basically attack at the gun, but he managed to aggressively work his way through the toughest turn on the course, survive a pedal skip and flat, and otherwise outlast [...]

Race Report: Turkey Hill, Ft. Ritchie, Jeff Cup

Phew! What a great weekend of racing, and an excellent set of results and efforts for District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop. The basic rundown: Four podiums! We got ourselves a win (Tony in the Cat 3 race at Ft. Ritchie), three second-place finishes (Dennis at Turkey Hill 3/4 and Jeff Cup 3/4 and [...]

Race Report: Greenbelt

Are we going to produce a race report for each of the 16 Greenbelts this year? Probably not, but the first one was good enough for District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop to merit mention. In the B race, Nate Gazzetta landed himself the victory, thus assuring that he’ll be wearing the leader’s jersey [...]

Race Report: Ephrata and Bunny Hop

District Velocity Racing p/b Bicycle Pro Shop was well-represented over the weekend in two races: Pennsylvania’s Tour de Ephrata and the local Bunny Hop Criterium. Quick take: Corey places highest at Ephrata, taking sixth GC in the Cat 4 field, while Ringer gets 10th! Dennis takes sixth in 3/4 Pain Mountain Time Trial. Tony gets [...]
