^Kenny’s First all female flight! Update from Kenny! Hi everyone! After I finished racing with BJC in 2020, I went to the University of Utah for school and raced downhill for a very fun season. Now I am out in DC working as an airline captain at United Express, getting out on my bike as often as I can! | Maddie Munro stops by to rip the legs off our coaches and alumni. Dropping everyone in zone 2!!! |
BJC alumni Natalie Quinn and Riley Sheehan have reached an incredible milestone, becoming the first BJC riders to race the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix—the two biggest Spring Classics. These races represent the very highest level of the sport, and seeing BJC athletes on those start lines is a proud moment for our entire community and a reminder of what’s possible when a genuine passion for cycling is built over time. | BJC had an incredible showing at this year’s Redlands Classic—the biggest road stage race in the U.S.—with a standout group of alumni. On the women’s side, Chloe Fraser, Jorja Bond, and Sylvia Espinoza took on the race, while the men’s field featured Eric Brunner, Vaughn Veenendahl, Luke Elphingstone, Luke Walter, Andrew Lydic, and Garrett Beshore. Nine riders in total—possibly our biggest BJC alumni presence at Redlands ever. |
