The Bridges Family Represent WSI Cycling (Well) at Fort Custer Stampede

One of the cool parts about our team this year is that we have all levels of riders participating. One such example of this variety is the Bridges family. Mom, dad and the kids are all enjoying their time on the bike and even got on the podium this past weekend at the Fort Custer Stampede. Below are the race reports from mom and dad, as well as Scott, the oldest son. Great report "Team Bridges" and way to represent. Be sure to check out WSI Cycling's Facebook page for more photos of the Bridges family in action!

Scott Bridges' Race Report - First Place Win!!!

After checking the weather and seeing who’s registered for the past week. The day has arrived. This year I was racing in the 15-18 age group so there was no playing around. After talking to some of the guys at the line and looking at their bikes, I knew my work was cut out for me. They feel comfortable in there niners, while I can hardly fit in one. As we took off hauling butt, I gained the lead, took the sharp turn and went down the hill into the trail and I caught some traffic by the time I got around it, a fella in a yellow and red cross county cycles jersey caught up to me. But that did not last for long. As I got to the rough switchbacks on the green trail there was a big pile up. Once I got through that I looked below and saw a yellow and red jersey. The second half of the race was mellower, finished with my first career win. Looking forward to yankee tt next on the schedule.

Katie and Kevin's Race Report - The Rest of the Bridges Family

The Custer Stampede was good to the Bridges family this year, Scott and Marie took first place in their age groups. Mom (Katie) and Dad (Kevin) did not bleed on their new WSI/Team Active race kits. Rose did not race as she’s recovering from a foot injury acquired in Track.

All told it was a great day to be in the woods and out of the wind. With Yankee TT postponed the Stampede was the first mountain bike race for us this spring making an already long winter seem to drag on even longer. Now the racing has started it feels like summer is here. Next we race at Yankee hopefully Marie and Scott can continue their winning streak.

We might need to buy Scott a larger helmet if he wins again, he’s pretty happy with his race and Marie as usual is very mellow about the whole ordeal.

Ps. This is Katie checking in, I had a great ride in the woods and saw a huge blue racer… not the kind on a bike!
