Stacie and Rachel representing SCE East and West
While our website activity has been quiet, Steel City racers certainly have not. After Labor Day, Stacie Truszkowski and Rachel Weaver have been competing successfully race after race – on the trails on on the cyclocross courses – throughout September and October. To be honest, the Fall has been the Stacie and Rachel show on our team, as they consistently have been racing back-to-back weekend races. We’re super proud of our teammates for taking the Steel City colors to Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the DC area.
In the West, Stacie has been balancing her time between the ABRA cyclocross series and Month of Mud series. Meanwhile, Rachel has taken her cyclocross bike mainly East, putting in several strong showings among big women’s 3/4 fields.
Here are some highlights from their races:
September 17-18, 2011 - Stacie rocked out 4th place in her first sport MTB race at Brady’s Run, while Rach represented 2 days straight in huge fields at Charm City Cross, taking a top 20 spot on Sunday.
October 1-2 - Stacie wins back-to-back cyclocross races, with a Saturday win at ABRA Kickoff Cross Women’s Cat 4, then a 2nd W on a muddy Sunday in the first Month of Mud cyclocross race.
October 8-9 - Steel City was out in numbers today at MOM at North Park. Stacie took Congrats again took 3rd , and was joined in this race by Greg Flood, Dustin Wehler, and Patty George. Meanwhile Rachel Weaver tore it up our East, taking 6th at Hyattsville Cx!
October 16 - Stacie took another WIN at ABRA Morgantown Monster Cross.
October 22-23 - Big weekend for women’s cyclocross racing – Stacie again with the win at Bruceton Mills on Saturday, and Rachel finishing TOP 10 in a big, fast field at DCCx on Sunday! Stacie rocked out a super fast time at the MOM Super D mountain bike race on Sunday and taking 2nd place, missing 1st by less than one minute – 2nd day, 2nd podium.
Make sure you keep following our teammates on Facebook and here on our website. October and November are going to be a lot of fun as MOM winds down, and cross continues to heat up.
