Join us for NHBC's fourth annual East Rock Century on Saturday, June 13!

The East Rock Century is a completely free, "choose your own adventure" ride around East Rock Park in New Haven. Challenge yourself to complete as many laps as you can, climbing to the top of East Rock before descending down and starting all over again!

Afterparty to follow at 6:00 pm at East Rock Brewing Company!

Wanna help get more kids on bikes AND check out some of the best gravel in the state? Obviously you do. What a silly question. It’s almost time for CT Cycling Advancement Program Breakaway Benefit Cycling Festival. This 48.2 mile, fully supported ride comes complete with 32.3 miles of gravel (a whopping 67%!) and is finished off with a post-ride celebration featuring food and live music at Norbrook Farm Brewery brewery!

Best part? NHBC members get 15% off registration. Go check the link in our bio. Not a member yet? There’s a link for that in our bio too!

ARE YOU READY TO GET SCORCHED??? Here’s your map for tomorrow’s race. Uphill holeshot through The Orchard, followed by some fun and slow twisties out onto the fastest stretch of the course leading into The Knoll, one of the steepest (but shortest!) sections in the PMCX. After that we’ll send you through the Corn Maze, where hopefully you don’t get lost, before hitting the barriers and heading up to check out the Farm Junk. Then you’re heading back down and around the Kids Race and Cider Hut before duking it out against your sworn enemies for the sprint finish! Still a few hours to sign up before we hit Day Of Pricing! crossisboss cyclocross racing projectmayhemcx racing cycling bike rideyourbike mud rain raceforfree

Orchard Scorcher CX is this Sunday, November 30 at Bishop’s Orchards Blueberry Picking Farm (NOT the farm stand off Boston Post Rd)! We are super happy to announce that we’re bringing out .ct (they of HVCX fame) for another round of pulling amazing espresso and matcha drinks! Come find them in the INDOOR (!!!) shed right past the starting line. Give that little guy up there a swipe to see the special menu for this weekend’s race.

If you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for? This is the season finale! GET IT GET IT GET IT! Link in bio. Smash it.

Ride for Recovery: 30 Mile Coastal Ride Join us for a special community bike ride to support our friend Bruno, who was recently in a serious cycling accident.

We are just 2 days out from HVCX! So the question remains, are you registered yet? You should be. Enjoy this handy-dandy guide on when each race is happening. Use it to determine which gauntlet you’d like to throw down in, and then sign up and get ready to actually throw down in your decided gauntlet.

Our friends are helping fuel the stoke at HVCX this year! All first time CX racers in the open, non-binary, and women’s fields are entered to win one of these awesome hats. And we’re instituting a last place/best place - come in last in your field in the 4/5, SS, or novice races and win your very own set of gloves. We can’t wait to see you out here on Sunday and we still have 2 free GNAR entries for WTF-NB fields!

Here’s the 2025 map for HVCX! We’ve got a section, some extra twisters, and a brand new ripping descent! Some of these spots are subject to change, but this will give a good glimpse of what you can expect on Sunday.

Haven’t registered yet? Why the butt not? Check out the link in our bio!

COME AND WIN THE MAJESTIC AND HIGHLY COVETED BOTTLE OF RANCH! Anyone who takes the top step at this weekend’s Hidden Valley CX will walk away with a bottle of our very own, super secret recipe bottle of ranch (that definitely wasn’t just bought at a store and relabeled). Will you take home America’s favorite condiment? Only one way to find out. Register now. Link in bio.
