March 21, 2019 – With Maryland Schools closing and cancelling athletic activities as well as Parks and Rec recommending that organized Rec Council activities be cancelled, BYC has made the decision to temporarily suspend our formal road season until the end of April. In addition, USA Cycling has suspended all race permits through May 3rd so the first 4 FasTrack races are cancelled as well. We are optimistic that we will be able to get in part of the season,but will re-evaluate as things progress. Thanks for your patience during this difficult time. On behalf of BYC – stay safe, well, and ride!

CX Nationals Lakewood, WA
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!
