Marx - Bensdorf

Danny Boone moves up from 4 to 3 and onto M-B squad

Ryan — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:44:35 +0000

The Marx-Bensdorf cycling team welcomes Danny Boone to its Category 3 race team. He is the first to “graduate” in 2011 from the ranks of the Cat 4/5 team. Last year the BPC team had a total of 5 riders that made the leap to the parent squad.

Danny has had an outstanding season this year on the BPC feeder squad featuring top ten finishes at the Tour de Tuscaloosa, Mississippi Grand Prix, the Marx-Bensdorf Jackson Road Race, the People’s Community Bank RR and Crit, TN State Road Race, and Gateway Tire Criterium in Nashville. He has proven himself as a excellent climber with a 2^nd place finish in the demanding uphill time trial at Highland Rim and a 7^th place finish in the People’s Community Bank RR which features the only Category 1 climb on the East Coast. He recently obtained his Category 3 upgrade and will be a great addition the squad.

Please add any feedback about how we can improve this event in the comments below (or what worked well). Next year, we will have to find a weekend different from the Sunny King crit to get more people to come down from Nashville.

Jackson trainer race slated for 4/9/11

Ryan — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:06:47 +0000

With our spring (soon to be) classic in the books, attention is swinging to the next event. This race will be a more conventional road race (10 mile paved laps) held right outside of Jackson, Tennessee. Should be close enough to draw talent from both ends of the I-40 (Memphis and Nashville).

The flier is attached. It might be slightly revised as we get closer to the event. (rev 2b is 2/28/2011)

Date: April 9, 2011

Time: 10 am (B race, 30 miles) / 11:45 am (A-race, 50 miles )

Mad Crunk, Super Flossy, Straight Flexin… race is in the books

The first annual MCSFSFAFIC5K2K11 started off right with big field and plenty of competition.

A total of 25 stepped up and met the challenge of 70 mile course (A-race). Our own Bryant Funston and Travis Sherman finished up 2nd and 3rd behind Kris French (Snapple) who came over from Arkansas. Good to see so much participation from across the river.

The B-race also had a large field (for such a hard race). The men’s winner was Jeff Fejfar (BPC) and the women’s winner was Casey Malone (M-B womens team)

Plan to get full results up here and on the race website.

Conditions looked a bit rough as we all made the drive from Memphis to Nashville. The sun didn’t come out on that first day making our ride a bit of a cold and blustry slog.

After an evening of dinner and a short meeting, we were all ready for a better, sunnier day. And it delivered. 2011 is looking to be a good year indeed.
