Montreal to Boston Stage Race

There is a major pro race coming to Vermont this year: The 8 day Montreal to Boston Stage race. Some UCI ProTour teams, including T-Mobil, will be entered, plus major domestic US teams, and some national teams. The toughest day is the fifth stage, Aug 9, which will run from Jay Peak to Sugarbush.

Anyone interested in a trip up there? We could ride the route, and stop at whatever seems to be the decisive climb to
watch the pros climb.

Here is a link to a VeloNews article about the event.

Anyone planning to ride this weekend?

Cyclocross Race Thanks

Many thanks for everyone’s help on the 16th Annual West Hill Shop Cyclocross Race. PBC members and non-members turned out to pull together the pre-race/race-day details and even the dreaded day-after clean up; the least fun job of all. The weather resisted as long as it could. The course was awesome with lots of compliments from the racers. Many were new to the course this year and are psyched to return to it next year. We had another record breaking number of racers registered. The overall enthusiasm and appreciation was gratifying. It was everyone’s efforts that made it such a memorable event.

Much appreciated!

Diny and Jim Sweitzer

P.S. We still have some unclaimed lost and found items at the shop.
