The team had an incredible run this spring with 14 victories, 2 second place finishes and 6 third place finishes. The team showed its depth by winning P12, masters, cat 3 and mountain bike races. Zach Koop won several big races and has earned a spot on the CRCA composite team for the Philly Cycling Classic. http://www.crca.net/2013/05/crca-sends-elite-composite-team-to-philly-cycling-classic/ Also of note is Al Blanchard’s off road dominance.

The team is excited to announce the addition of Michael Zak to BlueRibbon. Mike is a super strong rider. He recently upgraded to cat 2 and It wouldn’t be surpising to see him and Zach upgrade to category 1 before too long. Mike won the last Rockleigh race and took over the points lead from Zach so at least now we can say the team still has the lead. Since that win Mike has sewn up the overall point lead for Rockeigh. And to think this is only...

On Sunday April 29th the team had all the podium spots covered at 2 separate events. At the Marlton criterium down in southern NJ with the support of Brendan Pierce and John Raheb Zach Koop delivered the first win of the season for the team in the P123 race! It was a big event with a very strong field. Zach got in a mid-race 9 rider break that stayed away. He handily outsprinted his break companions for the win....

The following article I wrote in the spring of 2010. All seemed good in the world around me. I was having a great time towing my 4 year old daughter around in the bike trailer, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd daughter and I was enjoying some of the best early season fitness that I ever experienced (I managed to win a Spring Series race and the CRCA power points race against a few AXA guys in Central Park). However, the weekend after that Power Points race...

"Big John" Raheb, has been a one man wrecking crew this season, but nothing solidified it like winning the New Jersey Cat 3 Crit Championships and then going 5 for 5 in Campmor H2H series.

New team member Zach Koop wasted no time in getting on the team score sheet winning the CRCA A race on Sunday in what was a very well ridden team effort. The race started with extreme aggression and on the 1st lap a group of about 15 slipped off the front, which Mark Alden bridged to, unfortunately in vain as the break was caught less than a lap later. Almost immediately another break of about 15 went and this time the team had Alden, Eddie Espitia and Big John Raheb in...
