7-14-2018 Masters Track National Championships I have spent the last week at the Masters Track National Championships in Trexlertown, PA. The Valley Preferred Cycling Center is affectionately known as TTown. It is the center of UCI track racing in North America. As many of you know, I race for Sorella Cycling. I was proud to represent them at #tracknats. I put in a lot of good efforts and came away with bronze medals in the Time Trial, Individual Pursuit, and Sprints as well as 5th place medals in the Scratch Race and Points Race. I was very pleased with my races and that the hard work from the last few months has paid off.

Southeastern Cycling will be back to normal in a few days after all of the laundry is done and bikes washed.

Trish (Sorella Cycling) won the bronze in the Time Trial at the Masters National Track Championships this week.

6-25-2018 Magner wins US Pro Crit Championships Wow! Georgia is racking up the National Championships at US Pro this weekend! From Cyclingnews: “Ty Magner capped a dominant performance by Rally Cycling Friday at the US Pro Criterium Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, winning the bunch kick ahead of teammate Eric Young in a one-two finish for the Pro Continental team. Sam Bassetti (Elevate-KHS) was third. Rally held the field together throughout the 90-minute race, then delivered Magner and Young into the final corners, where Young, who won the criterium title in 2011 and 2013, was the team’s second option behind his younger teammate. Magner took care of business, however, attacking on a final uphill with about 400 metres to go and closing the door on Holowesko-Citadel’s John Murphy and Miguel Bryon in the last corner, allowing Young to slip past and cutting off the Holowesko riders’ momentum.”
