Mike Phillips – Semi Pro Men’s XC
Chloe Forsman – U23 Women’s XC
Brian Matter – Male Open 4 Person Team 24 Hour
These three Momentum Endurance athletes have recently earned the Stars and Stripes Jerseys at USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championship Events. On July 20th Mike Phillips earned the Semi Pro XC National Championship. Later that same day, Chloe Forsman convincingly won the Women’s U-23 XC Championship. These racers excelled on the rugged and challenging Mt. Snow course, proving that they were in fact the best skilled riders. Brian Matter, with the help of his three Gary Fisher 29/Trek-VW teammates followed up on the winning ways with a victory in the Male Open Four Person Category at the 24 Hours of 9 Mile National Championship event. Brian did his fair share of work to help his team put in more laps than any other.
Each of these three National Champions has dedicated great amounts of energy to their causes and it has been a privilege to aid them along the way. When hard work is aimed directly at the target, wonderful things happen on race day. I’m proud to have shared a part of each of these three victories. Congratulations and here’s to more great rides to come,
TJ Woodruff
