Flying Boogers on Course to Nationals

'Snot Just Bikes, but it is definitely still about bikes! We're so proud of the committed training and racing that Flying Boogers have been doing around the country on their journey towards Cyclocross Nationals in December. The Flying Boogers have been super busy! More than a dozen racers from all our chapters have been traveling around the country to compete on the big stage in pursuit of points leading up to USAC Cyclocross Nationals in Louisville, KY.

We've supported racers in Virginia, Wisconsin, and Ohio, with upcoming races in Montana and Colorado before the end of November!

These Boogers dedicate a huge amount of time and energy to compete at this high level and push themselves to the limits. We've had some great results with several athletes picking up valuable points; granting them better start positions when they line up in Kentucky!

Next up, on November 1st: the Pan American Championships in Missoula which will be a big test for fifteen Boogers! And, a group of seven Boogers will tackle Cross of the North in Fort Collins, Colorado. Wish them all good luck!

Oregon Boogers: Pickin' Winners!

After four epic races Oregon NICA wrapped up its season this past weekend at the State Champs in Prineville, Oregon. The high desert weather was perfect for race day and the course was fast. 20 of our Portland Boogers participated in this event with some great results! All raced their hearts out and more than a dozen had podium finishes.

Congrats to all who raced this very tough course! While some Boogers will take a break and look ahead to the 2025 MTB season, others will drop the tire pressure and keep racing cyclocross!

The recent Crusade Cascade Locks race saw Boogers embodying the mindset that the team having the most fun will win. Super creative 'Snot Rocket' costumes boosted Boogers through mud to some great results.

Spokane Boogers Mix It Up

Eastern Washington has seen Boogers out on all types of bikes in September and October! The whole group got together for a 'cross race in Coeur d'Alene that was open to all junior riders in the area. This was a great way for our veteran racers to share their enthusiasm and the Booger spirit with first time cyclocrossers!

Riders kept up with these skills weekly, practicing race scenarios since the first week of September!

Our gravel series took advantage of phenomenal weather and sunsets while building endurance and the good vibes of group riding.

And, intentional girls group rides have been having a lot of fun and building camaraderie with Coach Anne!

Up on the hill, our Boogers have been sending and carving on their enduro bikes every other week, and will continue until the snow starts sticking!
