CX Nationals Lakewood, WA – Baltimore Youth Cycling

December 15, 2019 – A small contingent of BYC riders made the trek across the country to Lakewood, Washington for the 2019 Cyclocross National Championships. Persevering through the mud and rain the BYC team achieved top 16 with all of its 5 riders. Junior Women 15-16 Sabine Buccheri 9th and Olivia Sandoval 14th; Junior Women 17-18 Rowan Leary 16th; Junior Men 11-12 Jacob Hines 9th; and Junior Men 15-16 Evan Coleman 11th. The dark clouds, light rain, and EXTREME run-ups did not deter our Junior Cyclists. The strong BYC Team showed up with grit and fortitude . . . but most of all they just wanted to kick some butt and have some fun. Congratulations to everyone!

Baltimore Youth Cycling (BYC) is a volunteer run, non-profit organization formed in 2015 dedicated to developing junior cyclists into confident young athletes. Our coaches and volunteers work with cyclists ages 8-18, in structured cyclocross and road practice settings. We coach our cyclists to ride safely and skillfully as athletes committed to their sport, their teammates, and their community. BYC racers compete locally, regionally, and nationally in organized cyclocross and road events.
