The Really Rad Festival of Cyclocross in Falmouth, MA is one of the biggest weekends on the New England cyclocross calendar — a two-day UCI festival — and Nora Phillips made the long haul north to take it on.
Not content to race her own age group, Nora lined up in the combined Junior Women U19 field against older, more experienced riders — and more than held her own.
Saturday – Day 1
Nora battled to a 3rd-place podium in the U19 field, mixing it up at the front against girls years older than her.
Sunday – Day 2
Nora went one better — all the way to the top. She won the Junior Women U19 race outright, crossing the line in 30:33 with nearly a minute in hand over second place. A statement ride.
Team Takeaways
A podium and a win in a stacked U19 field, racing up the whole weekend — what a performance from Nora at one of the sport's biggest amateur festivals. Huge congratulations to Nora, and thanks to the family for making the trip to Massachusetts. The pink is flying — onward!
