Tuesday Toolbox: Charlie MullinsJanuary 14, 2020The name Charlie Mullins is familiar to most GNCC fans, but his current exploits might not be. After retiring from professional racing, he found a new passion in bicycle racing. When GNCC started an eMTB racing series, it was a perfect fit. The 33-year old Mullins is the first-ever Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC National Champion, as well as earning accolades in several other bicycle disciplines.

Quick Fill #2: This Week in GNCCJanuary 9, 2020Welcome to Quick Fill. Another week has clicked by as we begin to roll on through the off-season and work our way closer to the kick off of the 2020 GNCC Racing season. Last week I talked about how we were excited to get the season rolling, and at that point we were still riding the wave of the Holidays. Now, a week later, we’re full force in making preparations for the 2020 season and this makes things even more exciting! In addition to the traditional type of organizing things for the various events of the upcoming season, we’ve also just started work on the 2020 GNCC Souvenir Program and it’s looking to be another cool addition to your collection!

Tuesday Toolbox: Ashley HendershotJanuary 7, 2020Ashley Hendershot won the first-ever Specialized Turbo eMTB GNCC Women’s National Championship in 2019 and is looking forward to another season of eMTB racing – hopefully with a little more competition this time! Though the 31-year old from Mansfield, Ohio, was definitely a bicycle enthusiast before last year, she had very little racing experience and had actually never ridden an eBike prior to her first GNCC. Her husband is an ATV racer, who also won a title last year in the Vet B class and her son races mountain bikes… so you could say that racing of all kinds is very much a family activity for the Hendershots.
