The Modern Troubadours Provence Tour, June 2015

Take A Kid Mountain Biking Day, May 2015

If it's spring, that means it's time for another Seacoast VeloKids Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day event!  An incredible event for kids (and parents) at Stratham Hill Park, even when rain cut it short!  Come hang out with the kids and their obstacle courses, pump track and rides on dirt.

Orchard Cross, 27 October 2013

There's a certain unwritten "rule" that Cyclecross is supposed to be a grimy, wet, cold, and bitter experience, but with lots of really, really good heckling and usually beer handups at some point!  I don't think the lack of rain made Orchard Cross any less hardcore or fun this year!
