WWVC Racing’s 2010 Road Recap
by Chris on Aug.31, 2010, under WWVC
The WWVC Racing team set some lofty goals for 2010 road season. Although we are not yet a team stacked with numerous Cat 1’s & 2’s, we did have some strong Masters racer’s looking to make a mark on that scene in addition to some very promising talent coming up through the ranks in the 4’s & 5’s.
As one of the smaller teams in MABRA, we like to think we make up for that deficiency in racing and training as a team. We’ve removed the sometimes seeming barriers between our experienced rider’s and younger rider’s to foster growth and an enrichment toward feeling positive about the personal and team accomplishments we realize on race day. At the end of the day, it’s the relationships you build and the camaraderie you gain through blood, sweat and hard work which makes bike racing so rewarding.
In the off-season, during our goal setting, we challenged our membership to begin transforming ourselves from a widely viewed “club” to a “racing” team. We adjusted various pieces of our membership and enrollment requirements to align with our new mission. Needless to say, our team rallied around this calling with a renewed enthusiasm and drive to make things happen.
Our Masters squad garnered some early success which we were all thrilled about. We definitely started out on a good note. Our Cat 4 & 5’s quickly took over the momentum and started achieving result after result. The train was rolling!
As we entered the mid-late season races, we were really gelling as a team. One of our bright up and coming stars, Nicholas Taylor, was absolutely on fire. We again set some lofty team goals with eyes focused up the road.
During the period of July and August, our 3 and 4 squads produced some incredible individual and team performances:
MABRA Crit Championships: 3rd Place Cat 3, Nicholas Taylor
Giro di Coppi: 1st Place Cat ¾, Nicholas Taylor; 4th Place Cat ¾ Peter Warner
VA & MABRA Road Race Championships- Page Valley: 1st Place Cat 3, Nicholas Taylor (And Yes, we are thrilled to have the C3 RR Jersey(s)!); 5th Place Cat 5, Ed Patrick
Luray Crit: 3rd Place Cat 3, Nicholas Taylor; 7th Place Cat 5, Ed Patrick
Tour de Millersburg: 2nd Place Cat ¾ TT, Peter Warner; 2nd Place Crit, Peter Warner; 6th Place RR, Peter Warner; 1st Place GC, Peter Warner (HUGE team effort here!)
MABRA TT Championships: 1st Place Cat 3, Peter Warner; 2nd Place 40-45, Chris Gould
VA TT Championships: 2nd Place Cat 3, Peter Warner; 7th Place Cat 3, Chris Gould
Dawg Day’s: 1st Place Cat 5, Ed Patrick
South Mtn Hill Climb: 1st Place W4, Melissa Goldbold
What a way to end the road racing season! From a team perspective, we couldn’t be more proud about the sacrifices and dedication it took to end the year on a high note!
Folks are already dusting off their cross bikes and the listserve is booming with excitement over the cross calendar looming on the horizon. Watch out for the Red and Black! The rest of us will be there cheering them on with beer in our hands, packing on the much needed lbs for a winter of off-season training to come.

The Tour of Page County
by Nicholas on Jul.06, 2010, under WWVC
Registration for the Tour of Page County opens at noon on Wednesday, July 7th, at www.pre-reg.com. Sponsored by Page Valley Cycling and co-promoted by Whole Wheel Velo Club, the Tour of Page County consists of the Page Valley Road Race (Saturday, Aug. 7) and the inaguaral Luray Criterium (Sunday, Aug. 8).
The Page Valley Road Race is the Senior Championship Road Race both both VACA and MABRA. The Tour of Page County is also part of the GamJams Cat 3 Cup, p/b Mountain Khakis, the Proteus/MABRA Cat 3 and Cat 4 Women’s Race Series, and the MABRA and VACA BAR.
The Tour of Page County is your opportunity for an entire weekend of challenging races and BAR points for the low price of just $45! And, with so much to do in Page County, this event is a perfect opportunity to have a close-to-home vacation for your family and friends!
Participants may register for each event separately, but for selected fields, we will also be scoring an omnium by calculating the results of the two events on a simple point system for each field based on final results, the KOM competition for the road race, and premes for the crit.
The Tour of Page County has an emphasis on local, with a “Taste of Luray” event sponsored by the Luray Downtown Initiative on the day of the crit. Most of our prizes will reflect our local theme, including wines from local Virginia wineries. Also, the winner of the omnium in each field will receive a unique ceramic trophy bowl hand-crafted by Lucia King, a Page County-based artist. While results from the separate 35+ 3/4 race in the crit will not count towards the omnium, a special trophy bowl will be presented for that separate event as well.
Be sure to check out the Tour of Page County t-shirts as well!
Information on the Tour of Page County, including a technical guide and a copy of the flyer, may be found at www.pagevalleycycling.com.
We look forward to seeing you in Page County!
