Vulcan made the trip north to Northampton, MA for the Cycle-Smart Northampton Cyclocross — one of the biggest and most historic weekends on the New England cyclocross calendar — for two days of fast, deep-field racing.

Saturday – Day 1
Nora Phillips raced up into the combined Junior Women u13 field and won the 11-and-under category, finishing 7th overall against older girls. Xenia Binkley led the way for Vulcan in the u13 field with a strong 4th-place ride, and Gunnar Miller dug in for 15th in a big Men 4/Novice field.

Sunday – Day 2
Nora did it again — a second straight win in the 11-and-under field — and this time she also grabbed a 2nd-place overall podium in the combined Junior Women u13 race! Gunnar Miller moved up as well, taking 11th in Men 4/Novice to improve on his Saturday result.

Team Takeaways
Two 11-and-under wins and an overall podium for Nora, plus gritty rides from Xenia and Gunnar, at one of the sport's marquee New England races. Huge congratulations to Nora on the double, and thanks to the families for the long trip to Massachusetts. The pink is flying — onward!
