We have had a few changes in preparation for CX Season. First off, Jordan has a new team and a new coach. Opportunity arises and he has moved on to a more cross focused team and we couldn't be more excited. We love our AYC family and of course we will still see everyone at the races and Jordan still keeps up with his buddies, but we are so excited to announce that Jordan will be racing for the Cycle-Smart Elite Team this year for cross and his new coach is Adam Myerson. If you know CX, then you know the name Adam Myerson. If not google him. He's the dude from Boston with all the tats and piercings. While that may shy people away from him, he most definitely knows his CX. The thing that draws you most to Adam is the fact that he has been racing since 1987, not that I want to touch on his age but he definitely knows what it's like to race as a Junior. So this year look for the baby blue and white! It's going to be a great season.
I want to touch base on both camps Jordan attended. This is his second year he was chosen to attend the Talent ID CX Development Camp in Montana hosted by Geoff Proctor. It's like Christmas for this kid when he gets to hang out with his cycling buddies for an entire week. It's great that they have the opportunity to come from all over the United States and just hang out and ride bikes. They brush up on skills and have some class time to study European Racing. Big Fun! Here are a few photos from that, courtesy of Tom Robertson and Geoff Proctor.
Next up, Kind Human/Cycle-Smart CX Camp South. I actually got to attend this one. I made good use of my “free time” and took tons of photos and I had an absolute blast! Not only did Jordan get to hang out with his coach and teamies all weekend but we got to meet an amazing group of people who race cross, want to race cross for the first time or just wanted to brush up on their cross skills.
We had the pleasure to meet the Humans behind Kind Human Sports. Not everyday do you get to meet the great minds behind those sweet bikes Adam Myerson and Jacob Fetty get to ride this season. Great guys with a great vision for cycling. I can’t wait to see their great company grow! We stayed at the Magnolia Ridge Farm and it was so cool. A huge farmhouse with our very own Sep, who cooked us up some yummy meals and made sure we had everything we needed. Can you say summer camp? Ton’s of fun and lots of knowledge about CX. Here are a few pics that I took.

Our race season is creeping up on us so stay tuned for more updates!
