This was another great year for CCI Racing and our sponsors. As of 10/19/16 we have had 94 XC podiums this year with 31 1st places. We still have yet to tally road and cross podiums and there are many more races before the end of the season.
Our team has won 22 Championship Series Overall podiums in 2014 including 7 Professional Championship titles. This was Frank O’Reilly’s season, bumping up to Cat 1 on the road and winning both the NY State Professional Championship Series Overall and the H2H Regional Professional Championship Series Overall. CCI has swept the NY State Pro Series Championship podium two years in a row (1st, 2nd and 3rd) making it the sixth year in a row CCI has taken home the NY State Pro Championship Series Overall win.

In 2016 the team has collected many registered volunteer trail hours as well as non registered, helping to promote the sport and keep multi use trails in good shape and sustainable. Much of our team has joined forces with the Palisades mountain Bike Club and Jorba to build multi use trails in Rockland County- something that has never been done before and a huge step toward the future of mountain biking in the area. The mountain bike championships are officially over for 2016 but many of the team will be racing the Something Wicked Six Hour race on November 26th, as well as the Eerie 80, darkness 909 Halloween race and various cyclocross events.
