The Havasu course is challenging with lots of climbs, loose and tight turns, and a few technical descents. The team handled the course extremely well and we are very proud of all 12 of them!<br />

The 2nd MBAA race in the series was out at Estrella Mountain Park in Avondale, AZ. The course for this race was much different than race #1. While the laps were shorter, the entire course was strewn with loose rock and punchy climbs. We had 8 riders suit up for the challenge of Estrella. For the boys we had Liam and Ty back for the 13-14 race, Barrett and Luke battling in the 11-12, and Maks & Axel for 6-8 boys.<br />

The boys were off first. Liam got the hole shot into the single track and was able to maintain his lead for the first lap. He was faded towards the end, but was able to hold on for a 4th place finish. Ty improved dramatically from his first race. He was also off to a fast start and hung on for 7th! Barrett and Luke were off next. Both boys improved over race #1, with Barrett snagging his first MTB podium of the year in 3rd and Luke moving up to 8th place overall. Maks and Axel also had impressive races, finishing 1st and 3rd respectively with only 11 seconds separating them.<br />

Coach Jason Tollous, who also runs Tenac Championship Coaching, lead the clinic with the CZ racers on hand to help individuals with their skills. We had over 15 kids participating in such activities as track standing, grabbing water bottles off the ground while riding, and riding patterns throughs cones. Everyone did a great job and had a lot of fun! Afterward, we pedaled over the Bicycle Haus of Scottsdale where the kids were treated to a pizza dinner courtesy of the shop. We want to give a huge THANK YOU to CZ Racing, Coach Tollous, and Bicycle Haus for putting on the event and supporting our riders. You left a huge & positive impression on these youngsters that continues to motivate each one of them!<br />

With the AZCross Series wrapped up, there was only 1 race left on the season - AZ State Championships. The course was nearly the same as the previous day, but in the reverse direction. Some felt this was easier while others found it more challenging than the previous day. The barricades were moved to a steep run-up on the back side of the course, which was very difficult. The temperatures dropped again overnight, leaving cold and frost conditions.<br />

The same crew lined up again for day 2 - Liam, Barrett, Giovanni, Luke, Bella, Avery, and Emma. The boys were again off first. Liam took the lead on lap one, but a crash in a corner found him quickly back in 2nd. He didn't have enough in him to regain the lead, finishing the race in 2nd. Luke again snagged 5th, completing his season very strong! Barrett and Giovanni finished 7th and 8th respectively.<br />

The girls were off fast. Bella, Avery and Emma were locked in a battle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Emma and Bella distanced themselves from Avery with Bella overtaking Emma for 2nd. Emma finished 3rd and Avery 4th.<br />

Even though we walked away without a state title this year, it was a successful CX season on so many levels. Our team grew by 3 riders from last year. We watched Luke, who was new to CX at the start of the season, improve each week and consistently factor in the top 5. We welcomed Bella and Giovanni, who recently relocated from the midwest, to the crew. Most importantly was the friendships and bonds that developed between these awesome little racers! The memories made will last a lifetime. We are looking forward to the start of the MBAA season and more races and good times together as a time. <br />
<br />
See you all in January!<br />

There were a couple of storms that we narrowly missed. But the series finale saw a significant change to all that! A storm blew through the day before dropping some rain, but significantly dropping the temperatures. The wind was also a factor as the kids lined up for the series finale.<br />

For the boys, we had Luke, Barrett, Giovanni and Liam taking the line. Bella, Emma, and Avery lined up for the girls. The course was arguably the most difficult of the season. The park was flooded just a few days before, which took away a large portion of the planned route. The last minute changes added a very difficult and technical section with steep drops and climbs, deep ruts, and loose sand. It was sure to provide a huge challenge to the juniors categories.<br />

The boys were off first. Liam was locked in with Randy for the first lap, but just didn't have enough in the tank to stay with him. Randy came in 1st with a commanding lead, followed by Ty and Liam for 2nd and 3rd. Luke and Barrett were again locked in a battle. Barrett crashed over the barricades, allowing Luke to get a sizable lead. Luke snagged 5th on the day with Barrett coming in 7th. Giovanni rounded out the boys field in 8th place.<br />

Next up were the girls. There were 2 newcomers to the series visiting from Europe. They took commanding leads right off the start line and never looked back. Bella had a great race and was able to come in first for the DD girls and 4th overall. Emma and Avery came in 5th and 6th respectively.<br />

The conditions proved tough for the team, but everyone fought hard to finish the race and complete the series.<br />
<br />
The AZ Cross series podiums & awards were handed out shortly after the race. For boys 9-14, Liam took the series crown for the 2nd consecutive year. Emma snagged with series winner's jersey as well for the 2nd straight year. Avery took 3rd overall in the series. <br />

The course was reversed for the second day of racing. It provided new challenges, but a decidedly faster course. Our same 7 riders toed the line in a much bigger field of riders than day 1.<br />

The boys were up first again. Liam was out to another early lead, which he held all the way to the finish line. Behind him a battle between Luke and Barrett was brewing once again. The Luke was able to edge out Barrett on day 2 to claim 5th with Barrett taking 6th. Giovanni had his best race yet this season, holding on to bring home 8th. It has been so fun watching these boys improve and their confidence soar race after race!<br />

The girls were up next. Emma was determined to get the hole shot on day 2, which is what she did. She never looked back and claimed another win. Avery, Bella and Alyssa were bunched together fighting for the remaining podium spots. They hung with each other until the very end where Alyssa edged out Avery by 2 seconds to claim 2nd. Avery took 3rd and Bella came in just 19 seconds back for 4th. The girls' fields have grown as the season has gone on, which has made these races a blast for both the racers and spectators. <br />

Canadian pro racer and national CX champion Maghalie Rochette came out to race both days this weekend. She took time out on day 2 to say hi to the Dynamix girls and pose for a picture with them. They cheered their hearts out for her as she raced. Thank you Maghalie!<br />

The team traveled to Tucson for back-to-back races sponsored by University of Arizona Cycling. The course was one of the most fun yet! It combined steep hills, sand pits, long straights, and tons of grass. There were also some technical sections with off-camber pitches and plenty of trees to make your way around. After previewing the course, the kids were anxious to get the race underway.<br />

First up for DD were the boys 9-14. Making the trek to Tucson were Giovanni, Luke, Barrett and Liam. Right off the start, Liam jumped out to a lead and held it all the way to the finish line. Behind him, Luke and Barrett were locked in a battle for 4th and 5th. Barrett was able to hang on to finish 4th with Luke just 12 seconds back. Coming in 7th was Giovanni, who is starting to get the hang of racing in the Southwest. He keeps improving with each race.<br />

The fields were a little smaller for the 2nd round, but still with some tough competition. Back for day 2 of racing for junior boys 9-14 was Giovanni, Luke, and Liam. For the girls we had Bella, Emma, and Avery. After some epic battles the previous day, everyone was excited to get started. It was much colder on Day 2, so everyone was thankful that the water feature had been removed. The course direction was also reversed, making for a fast course.<br />

The boys were off first. The group stayed together for the first half of lap one. Liam had a small lead, but crashed in a corner, dropping him back to 2nd. He was quickly able to recover to overtake the lead. He was able to build on that lead to take the win.</div>

We headed up to Horse Lover's Park in north Phoenix for back to back racing days. The course was changed up quite a bit from last year, including tight, loose turns, several difficult barriers, and a cold and messy water feature. It was shaping up to be a fun day!<br />

First off were the junior boys 9-14. Toeing the line for DD was Liam, Luke, Giovanni, and Barrett. This was Barrett's first race this season after battling illness. Everyone was very excited to get the day started. The boys faced some tough new competition on Day 1 from Kardon, a former CX National Champion out of Colorado.<br />

<br />
Liam was locked in a battle for 1st place for the first half of the race. Kardon lead for the entire race and pulled away from Liam to snag the win, with Liam coming in 2nd.<br />

There were tight turns in loose gravel and on wet grass along with 3 steep hill climbs with barriers on each one. We were in for a tough battle!<br />

The girls 9-18 were up next. Lining up were Emma, Avery, and Bella, who is also new to our team. Emma was again locked in a battle for 1st with Alyssa. The two traded the lead on and off for much of the race. Alyssa was able to pull away on the grueling hill climbs to snag the win by 12 seconds. Emma came in a solid 2nd after a most impressive effort.<br />

<br />
After a 3 week break from cyclocross, the crew was back at it up in the high country this weekend. The combination of near freezing temperatures and high altitude made the race weekend a challenging one for our kids. We had 3 juniors make the trip to Flagstaff - Liam for boys 9-14, and Emma and Avery for girls 9-18. Day one's course gave us some interesting obstacles - a steep rocky drop right at the start, followed by a maze with 4 barriers in a row, and ending with a steep and sandy run-up. It was an exhausting course, but a fun one!<br />
<br />
Liam got a slow start, finding himself towards the back of the boys field. He was able to work his way through and had a commanding lead after lap one. He was able to build on that lead all the way to the finish to snag his second win of the season!<br />

Ft Tuthill - Day 2<br />
<br />
The temperatures dropped by about 10 degrees for day 2, leaving the juniors to "warm-up" in sub-freezing temperatures on a course covered in frost! The course for day 2 was reversed offering a steep and loosed decent to start off the race and a steep, rocky run-up to finish. The barricade maze was reduce to 2 versus 4 from the previous day. The set-up for day 2 was faster, but the cold weather presented some unique challenges to our young riders.<br />
<br />
Liam was able to get off the line faster for day 2, catapulting into first place right off the start. He continue to build on his lead each lap, coming in an impressive 1 min, 30 seconds ahead of 2nd place!<br />

There were many lessons learned after our 2 days in Flagstaff. Racing in the cold is hard! Getting warmed-up and staying warm was very challenging for the kids. Racing at altitude (Flagstaff sits at just under 7000 ft) is also hard. The combination of the cold, dry air and the high altitude created tough conditions that these riders hadn't seen before. In spite of this, they raced their hearts out! And they had fun doing it. There were smiles for miles up in Flagstaff this weekend!! We are all excited for another fun race weekend next week!RJChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09727241222296581463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350343898950422730.post-61560657758783836012016-10-19T13:50:00.000-07:002016-11-14T08:23:31.432-08:00Cranky Cross/AZCross #1 - GlobeThe long awaited cyclocross season got underway in Arizona this past weekend in Globe. Flat Tire Cross p/b Flat Tire Bike Shop was a huge success for the team. We had 4 juniors take the line - Liam and first time CX racer Luke for boys 9-14, and Emma & Avery lined up for girls 9-18. It was a fast paced race from start to finish! Liam got off to an early lead that he was able to hold until the end. Luke started off strong and battled back and forth for 4th place. His tenacity and determination carried him to the end to keep 4th. Emma battled back and forth with newcomer Bella for the first lap, but was able to pull away for the win. Avery had a strong race, coming from behind to snag 2nd. All in all, it was a great start to the fall racing season. Everyone had a great time at a well put on event. Thank you to Scott Wortendyke and Nick Thomas Photography for the amazing pictures!<br />

For the juniors, the climb consisted of a 10 mile race with 3000 ft of vertical climbing. Suiting up for the challenge for junior boys 11-12 was Liam, for girls 11-12 was Avery, and Emma representing girls 9-10 in a category that has never had a winner. Liam had a strong start and gave it all he had to come across the line in 1st place with an impressive time of 1 hr 13 minutes. The girls teamed up and rode together for the entire race encouraging each other to keep going. They crossed the line with matching times of 1 hr 42 min. It was an impressive display of athleticism, teamwork, and sportsmanship by all three!<br />

The first 3 days were spent acclimating to the elevation of 8000+ feet as well as pre-riding the course. The juniors loop took them up 500 ft over the first mile before descending down Shotgun - a very technical black diamond single track run. All XC categories used this same downhill route, including the pros. It was no joke! It gave even the most seasoned riders pause.<br />
<br />
On race day, the 11-12 boys and girls took the line first. They had to complete 3 laps with a total of 7.5 miles and 1500 ft of climbing all above 8600 ft of elevation. Liam was the first of our racers out on course. After a bobble at the start sending him to the back of the pack, he was able to recover and set his best times on the first lap. He was able to work up to 11th place and hold that position until the end of the race. In a field of very talented riders, we were very proud of his result!<br />

Next up was Avery. She only had the opportunity to preview the course once the day before, but she rose to the challenge. She was unstoppable on course, powering through 3 grueling laps to finish 6th. Her grit and determination to complete the race was inspirational!<br />

After a short break in the action, the 9-10 boys and girls toed the line. First off was Barrett. After the first lap he was fighting for 4th. He got stuck behind a crash heading into the downhill on lap 2, but was able to hang in there and sprint from 8th to 6th at the line. He put together his best race ever, staying focused and determined from start to finish!<br />

Last up for the team was Emma in the girls 9-10 race. Emma also had a bobble at the start, but quickly recovered and found herself in 3rd place after lap 1. She dug deep to catch the rider in 2nd, and was able to hold on to snag the silver medal! Chloe Woodruff, the 2015 2X national champion and 2016 Rio Olympian, congratulated Emma on her great race, which was the highlight of the trip for Emma. It was an exciting end to and wonderful day of racing for the crew!<br />

After junior racing concluded, the team had the opportunity to spectate at a number of the races, visit with the vendors, and meet with some of the pro riders, who were all very gracious with the kids. Chloe Woodruff, Howard Grotts, Aaron Gwin, and Cam Zink all took time out to spend with the kids. They are what makes this such a great sport!</div>

This was the first relay race for most of the crew. We had 2 teams participating in the Enchantedland juniors race - Devo Saints and Devo Devils. The 2 teams were comprised of both Dynamix racers as well as racers from other teams and organized by Paul Broaderip from the Nationwide race team. The Devils had 4 juniors - Liam (Dynamix Devo), Cole, Tag, and Barrett (Dynamix Devo) - along with 2 adults (Rob and Mark). The Saints also had 4 juniors - Demi, Zach, Avery (Dynamix Devo), and Emma (Dynamix Devo) and 2 adults (Jen and Stephanie). The Enchantedland course was 5 miles with 340 ft of climbing. The teams had 14 hours to race as many laps as they could. There were 10 teams in all competing in this category.<br />

The two Devo teams were pretty evenly matched, with nearly everyone averaging lap times under 30 minutes. The entire race went like clockwork. No one missed a transition, everyone was supportive of each other, and we all had a blast! <br />

<br /></div>
It was an exciting weekend up in the pines of Flagstaff, AZ for the 5th and final MBAA series race - Flagstaff Frenzy. With temperatures soaring above 115F in the valley, the timing couldn't have been better for a weekend getaway. There was record attendance for the race as well, with over 450 racers including over 60 juniors. The junior course was a 6 mile loop with a little more than 400 ft of climbing. At an altitude of 7000+ ft, it was a true challenge! We had a smaller crew for this race - Liam racing for boys 9-11 and Emma for girls 9-11. Chase, who was out racing for Trek this season, will be joining our team in the boys 9-11 category for next year! All 3 racers were excited to get the race underway.<br />

The start was fast! Emma quickly took the lead for the girls, and Liam was battling for first with 2 other riders. After a short downhill into the single track, the course quickly pitched up into 2 rocky climbs. Both Liam and Emma were able to get some distance on the field at this point. <br />

This concluded the MBAA 2016 race series. Series champions were announced at the end of the day. Liam was able to collect the winners' jersey after a hard fought season! Emma was able to repeat as series champion, winning 5 out of 5 races this season! Even though he was unable to attend this race, Barrett still had accumulated enough points to finish 4th in the series after his first year of racing. Congratulations to the entire Dynamix Devo team for an amazing season!<br />

We had 4 racers toe the line - Avery, Emma, Liam and Barrett. This time trial is no joke - at 5.5 miles and 1100+ ft of vertical climbing! But, all 4 stepped up to the challenge with great excitement and anticipation. Each one of the them set a personal record on the course, with Avery finishing in just over 40 minutes, Emma just under 40, Barrett at 32 minutes, and Liam coming in under 30 minutes! We ended up with 3 - 1st places finishes and 1 - 2nd place. These kids never cease to amaze at what they can do on a bike at such a young age. Congratulations to all 4 riders! <br />

It was a mass start of all girls 18 and under and all boys 14 and under. It was the largest peloton that the team has ever raced in. Nerves were high, to say the least (probably more for the parent spectators!).<br />

After the first couple of laps, the group started to splinter. The lead group had most of the older kids, including Liam. Not too far off the lead pack was Barrett, leading his age group. Emma was also just off the back. Racing unopposed, she tried her best to stay in with the 13-14 girls for as long as she could.<br />

The lead group was riding at a very fast tempo! Liam stayed with the pack for the entire race, coming in 3 place in a huge field. It was a very impressive ride for the youngest rider in his age group!<br />

It was a winner take all state championship race, with a newly designed winners jersey on the line. We, again, had 6 racers representing the Dynamix team. This time, the girls outnumbered the boys, though. For the girls we had Emma and Avery back for day 2 joined by Genevieve and Alana. Liam and Barrett were back for day 2 racing in separate categories this time around. The temperatures again soared well into the 90's making for a tough race.<br />

Up first was the 11-12 year old boys and girls. Liam and Avery were off in this category racing strong. Liam had another great start, getting the early lead. He was passed on lap one and again held on for 2nd. However, since the winner of the race was a non-resident, the top prize of the day went to Liam. Avery had another solid performance, coming in 2nd overall in her category!<br />

Barrett, Emma, Genevieve, and Alana were up next for the 9-10 category. Emma got off the line and into the single track ahead of the entire pack. She traded back and for with Genevieve for the lead for most of the first lap. She was able to pass and hold on for the win. Genevieve came in an impressive 2nd for her 2nd ever mountain bike race! Her little sister, Alana, at age 7 was the youngest racer of the day. This was her first shot at racing. She made it through lap one in just 31 minutes, which is pretty impressive considering her age and size. Barrett held strong for the entire race coming in a solid 2nd place, snagging a coveted podium spot.<br />

The team was out in full force this weekend, with races on both Saturday and Sunday. The MBAA was up first with its 4th race of the series. We had 6 racers on course for the Dynamix crew for the first race. For the girls, we had Avery and Emma racing in the 9-11 category. The boys consisted of Karson for the 12-14 boys, and Liam, Barrett, and Silas for 9-11 boys. With summer weather upon us and temperatures soaring into the mid-90's, all the racers were going to have to dig deep to finish.<br />

First up was Karson. He was racing in a field of 21 riders, finishing a solid 14th. He improved on his lap times from last year even though he had to race an extra lap this year. He was consistent and solid for the entire race.<br />

The 9-11 boys and girls were up next. Liam got out to an early lead with Barrett and Silas not far behind. Liam was only able to hold the lead for the better half of lap one before being past. He dug deep and held on to 2nd. Barrett, who continues to improve with each race, came in a very strong 4th - holding a steady pace for all 3 laps. Silas, who was racing his first ever mountain bike race, finished 12th in a field of 25. He didn't let pre-race jitters get the best of him and raced like a pro!<br />

For the girls, Emma was first to the single track. She was able to maintain her lead throughout the race. Avery, who hasn't raced mountain bikes in almost a year, also had an amazing race. She was taken down at the start by tangled handle bars, but didn't let that stop her. She was dead last entering the single track, but clawed her way back up into a 2nd place finish! These girls are no joke!<br />

A BIG thank you to Deanna Young and Scott Wortendyke for the amazing race day photos! With just 1 race in the MBAA series to go, it will be exciting to see how the season wraps up in June....stay tuned!!!RJChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09727241222296581463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350343898950422730.post-9795997945230333692016-03-14T18:24:00.001-07:002016-03-14T18:24:38.006-07:00Kenda Cup West #1 - Vail Lake ResortLast week, a group of us traveled to Temecula, California to take part in the first race of the Kenda Cup West series. It was our first out-of-state trip, and everyone was very excited! The race was held at Vail Lake Resort on a rolling, fast, and fun course. We had 3 racers suiting up for the day - Emma racing girls 14 & under, Barrett racing boys 9-10, and Liam lining up for the boys 11-12. The weather had been great all weekend...until race time. The rain and wind came fast and furious! Also complicating matters was the mass start the didn't distinguish who was racing in which category. In spite all of this, the kids went out fast and strong and finished with solid times. All 3 landed podium spots: Liam and Barrett both came in 3rd, and Emma finished 4th as one of (if not the) youngest racers on the day. We were very proud of their grit and determination in the face of difficult conditions! Way to go Team Dynamix!!!<br />

We had 3 racers out bright and early - Liam & Barrett for junior boys 9-12 and Emma for junior girls 9-12. The boys had a game planned mapped out and stuck with it the entire race. The each took turns working together to keep control for the entire race. It came down to a sprint finish with Liam taking 1st and Barrett a close 2nd! Emma jumped out to an early lead, hanging with the boys for the first part of the race. She held that lead all the way until the end. It was an awesome display of teamwork out there today, and we couldn't be more proud of these kids!!<br />

The race was off to a good start for all of our racers. Karson got stuck in traffic early on in lap one, but managed to pass a number of racers to move up to 11th overall for his race. Liam got the early lead for his group with Barrett close behind. Near the end of lap 1, Liam had an asthma attack, which took him down for nearly a minute. Barrett held strong finishing 3rd - his first podium in the MBAA series! Liam was able to recover enough to finish the race in 4th. Emma was strong off the start and remained in the lead for the entire race, finishing nearly 15 minutes ahead of 2nd place! Great job to all the racers on a tough, tough course in Havasu!<br />

The venue was ASU campus, racing around the iconic Gammage Auditorium. The juniors went off at 7:15am. Racing for the team were Emma (junior girls 9-10), Barrett (junior boys 9-10), and Liam (junior boys 11-12). The all had excellent starts, and all 3 came in for the win! This was Barrett's 1st crit win of the season. They got to celebrate on the podium by spraying sparkling cider at the crowd. It was a very fun and memorable event!<br />

After the race, we grabbed some breakfast and then headed up to South Mountain to tackle the Summit Road - a 15 mile+ ride with 1600+ft of climbing. All 3 made it to the top at a pretty brisk pace! This was Barrett's first time, and he killed it! After racing early in the morning AND climbing to the top of South Mountain, they were all smiles and loving life! Their dedication and enthusiasm is infectious and inspiring. These kids ROCK!!!</div>
