Tuesday Toolbox: Tayla JonesSeptember 19, 2017Just back from her exploits at the 2017 ISDE in France, Rocky Mountain ATV*MX/KR4/Husqvarna team rider Tayla Jones wrapped up the bike WXC title a full three races before the end of the season. To top that off, she did it with an arguably perfect season, no less (she has not raced every GNCC this year, but she has won every GNCC that she has raced. Additionally, since the WXC racers get 4 drops, she has won all 9 of the races that may be counted for the title). This is the Australian native’s first year living full-time in the United States to pursue her racing career – hopefully the first of many!

Quick Fill #27: This Week in GNCCSeptember 14, 2017Welcome to Quick Fill.
Well, we’re officially back into the swing of GNCC Racing. Last weekend’s Unadilla GNCC was a blast and while we’re fully aware that there were some who weren’t exactly respectful of their camping neighbors, we’re looking into a number of different options to make things better moving forward. As for the race itself, well, it seems like everyone pretty well enjoyed themselves! The course was pretty fun and I’m actually speaking from experience here! Our Sweepmaster, Timmy Coryea, suffered a season-ending knee injury back before the summer break and so I hopped on the bike last weekend to fill-in and while there’s nothing easy about riding sweep, especially when you’re as out of shape as I am, I really enjoyed the course!
