Ten of our Shredders CX Race Team athletes headed south to Rochester, NY, for the opening round of the USCX Cyclocross Series - and what a way to kick off the season!

Asher put in an incredible ride on Sunday, starting at the very back of the field and battling his way up to 15th! And a shoutout to Sam, who had some seriously unfortunate luck on Saturday when his shoe’s BOA broke on the first lap, and he managed to push through another full lap with a broken shoe.

From podiums and hard-fought battles to the inevitable learning moments that come with racing, we’re so proud of all seven athletes for kicking off their season with determination and enthusiasm!

Here’s to an exciting CX season ahead! 💙🧡

Before we turn our full attention to Provincials this weekend, we have one more incredible race weekend to share.

Eleven of our Race Team and Devo athletes headed east last weekend to take on Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne, part of the 2026 Crankworx World Tour - and what an experience it was.

Racing on many of the trails that have been home to World Cup racing, our athletes were thrown into some seriously technical terrain. Big rocks, roots, challenging features and plenty of opportunities to push outside their comfort zones.

There were crashes and set backs but there were also learning moments and some incredible racing. And through all of it, our athletes got an opportunity to challenge themselves on a whole different level and come away better riders because of it. 💪

And the results were pretty awesome too! 👏
U17 W - Anna Christensen 4th,🥈| Nicole Haviland 5th, 5th
Junior W -🥇🥇Alexa Haviland | 🥉🥉Clare Hauber
Junior M - Asher Bensimon 12th (XCC)
Elite M - Dylan Kerr 9th, 8th

And a special shoutout to Iain Bliss, who decided one discipline just wasn’t enough and lined up for both U17 M cross-country AND downhill (where he finished 15th!) over the weekend! 🤯👏

Podiums and results are always exciting, but weekends like this are also about the experience - tackling harder terrain, learning from mistakes, building confidence and discovering what you’re capable of.

We’re incredibly proud of all 11 athletes who took on the challenge and represented the Shredders at Mont-Sainte-Anne. What a weekend! 💙🧡

Stay tuned for Canada Cup Series results wrap up. But for now, we turn our eyes to the Ontario Cup Series finale -> 2026 MTB Provincial Championships starting tomorrow on home soil!🔥
