Mark Alden: Today was a day to remember at Bear. When I was driving up the Palisades I was happy that it wasn’t raining. However, when I got off the exit and drove into the mountains a think blanket of fog was obscuring the countryside. When I pulled into the Lake Welch parking lot visibility was down to about 20’. At first there wasn’t a soul to be seen and I was half expecting that there would be someone sitting by registration telling me that the race was...

The team was in action again this weekend in Prospect Park, this time with Mark Alden, Thomas Pennell, and Jason Parkin, to contest the last NYC spring series race of the season. The team was heavily out gunned with Brauer having their usual 10+ guys and Axis with about 7 guys. Thomas and Mark had to try to cover every move and the attacks started from the 1st lap and never relented. Finally, with 5 laps to go Alden could sense that guys were starting to suffer so...

Mark Alden took the team's first podium of the season taking 3rd in the 35+ Master's race in Central Park today; part of the New York City Spring Series. The race, typical of many Spring Series races, became somewhat chaotic as three different fields became one large group on the course. The large mass of riders made for bedlam of racing, which prohibited any sort of established breakaway, or attempts given all of the confusion, but when all was said and done it came down to a field...

BlueRibbon kicked the 2011 season in fine style at the Central Park Spring Series race on March 13th. Less than halfway into the first lap the break of the day was established. BlueRibbon was well represented in the 10 man move with Xavier, John and Eddie. Thomas and Mark patrolled the front of the field to minimize the chase. By the end of the race the break had blown apart and Eddie hung tough to finish 5th while John finished with the next group in 9th and Mark...

Results keep pouring in for the team. Eddie Espitia hasn't been the only rider to win races lately as Paul Levis also won the Harriman ITT, in the P/1/2/3 category, as well as the Team Time Trial with Espitita. Also continuing his fury of results, a very youthful looking John Raheb took 2nd place in the 45+ NJ State Road Championships as well as 3rd place, winning the field sprint, at the brutally hard, Tour of Highbridge this weekend....

Eddie Espitia just won his 4th, yes, fourth race of the WEEK today in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Espitia made it into the winning move and beat the group to the line just as a charging field approaching. The win comes after taking a solo flyer to with the Tuesday night Floyd Bennett Field race earlier in the week and winning the 40+ Individual Time Trial at Harriman State Park last Sunday, and the Team Time Trial at the same race. Teammate Paul Levis also joined in the win...

Team newcomer John Raheb, has been racking up the palmares this year, but never in such a spectacular fashion as this past Tuesday at the South Mountain Training Series in New Jersey. First in the 35+ race, John soloed away from the field and stuck it to take the win unchallenged! Immediately afterwards, he lined up for the 1/2/3 race, where he was with what was left of the front group until the very end where he won the race from a field sprint. John has had a...

The team is continuing it's good run and brought home it's second win of the still early season on Sunday. Four riders set out to stop the dominance of Gary Steinberg and his Global team at the Spring Series race (35+) in Central Park. The plan was to work over the sprinters teams by attacking from the start and to try and get a break going. Thomas Pennell started the action and got in a move about 1mi. into the race....

From the gun, Sal took the first flyer right into the head wind followed by Thomas, and the team kept trading attacks. Right before the 8th lap, Eddie countered with 4 to go, and was off alone hoping someone would join him. The laps ticked down though and nobody came to help, and nobody caught him either....
