District Velocity Racing Under the Helmet with Tony Allen-Mills

Tony in his day job interviewing another famous newsmaker Al Gore.

Almost all bike racers can tell you that they’ve been in this position: a social setting where they are introduced to a fellow bike racer, out of kit, with no helmet or sunglasses, and miles from his/her bike.  They are both then confronted with the awkward realization, that without those items, they may not recognize [...]

District Velocity Podiums…A LOT

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 [...]

DVR Descends on the Jefferson Cup

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 [...]

Hannah Takes Top Billing at Shippensburg

Hannah reminding us that part of every good pre-race plan is some quality time for stretching.

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 [...]

PJ FTW!!!

Victory!!!

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 [...]

We want to pause from our hectic schedule of long base rides and take a moment to say thanks to all those people and organizations that have made this District Velocity’s best season ever (we also want to say a belated thanks to all our Canadian friends as well).   We continue to be incredibly [...]
