VAHS Race 1 - Miller School

September 17, 2022

What a race! Times were dropped by all compared to last season and out of over 550 that pinned on numbers, our team brought home a 1st (Joren), 2nd (Zach), & 4th (Elletta) podium spot, plus 2 top 20 (Jacob - 11, Wesley - 17) spots in the JV field. It was a great day!

Is is always great time at Stokesville! Congratulations to Zach who had a podium finish placing 4th out 67 Middle School boys. Valentino was 11th in the same very competitive race. Keegan turned in the fastest lap time for the team at 18:00 earning a 15th place finish in JV boys. 
Weston had the steadiest lap times, his two laps were only five seconds off from each other. There were some impressive drops in one-lap times from the last time we visited Stokesville. Everyone is improving & getting stronger! 

VAHS Race 2 & 3 - Stokesville

May 08 & 09, 2021

Who would have thought a pandemic would bring a double header race weekend, on Mother's Day weekend no less! All the Chain Gang racers did such a wonderful job despite the different race environment. The course was longer than last time we visited Stokesville to accommodate for a different parking arrangement for pandemic safety purposes, but it all worked. All the racers improved time and had fun! It was windy as all get out, but overall a great weekend to race. Our team was small this spring season - but still mighty! Go Chain Gang! That's a wrap till NICA! Keep riding! Fall season practice will be here before you know it!

NICA Race 3 - Bedford

November 09, 2019

And that’s a wrap for the Chain Gang’s 2019 NICA season! Great job team! Not everyone could make this rain date, but Chain Gang still represented strong out in the cold! Congratulations to all of our athletes on a job well done! The Chesterfield Chain Gang placed 9th overall for High School and 4th for Middle School! Great job, Gang! Special shout outs are a must: Emma had a 1st place Bedford win with a 1st in the overall for MS-B. Thomas took 1st place at Bedford with a 2nd in the overall as a sophomore racing JV! Laurel had a 2nd place race & overall for HS Freshman and Maddie had a 3rd place race & overall for MS-A. Awesome! This team runs on volunteers! Our Head Coach, Coach Paula, along with Coach Joe - they don’t even have kiddos on this team, but invest so much time, effort, and care - it’s incredible! The team is beyond grateful! We are thankful for all who volunteer their time to help the kids on this team; all the parents who go through the NICA Coach training to help the team run, those who don’t bike, but are always there to lend a hand - every roll is vital and so very appreciated! Thanks also to all of our sponsors & supporters. Please support those that support the Chain Gang! And of course, thanks to the great kids that make this team a team. They have worked hard, they have grown, they have learned, they have succeeded, and they had fun! What a fantastic season! Mountain biking rocks! Go Chain Gang!

NICA Race 2 - Woodberry Forest

October 15, 2022

Congratulations to Zach who had another podium finish (3rd). A great race day for the entire team. Woodberry Forest brings fast & flowy trails and the team came to race hard! Beautiful weather always makes for a super day of XC MTB racing! Race times continue to drop! Go Chain Gang!

NICA Race 4 - Monticello High School

November 5, 2022

Team Chain Gang rocks! What  great way to start the race season! Everyone raced tough! The HS crew came in 16th overall and MS was 8th. Keegan was our top HS point scorer, followed by Jacob, Sarah, & Danny S. MS top scorers were Zach, Collin, Danny A., and McKenna. Not all riders were able to participate and we were missing some of our veteran athletes due to injury or pandemic concerns, but that did not stop this team. They raced! A special shout out to Ric who had a mechanical, fixed it himself, and got right back on the trail to finish hard. That is the name of the game in mountain bike racing - keep going! Great weather, awesome athletes, fantastic coaches  - that makes for a successful and fun race day!

Even though all is still..... "pandemic weird" - it sure was great to be racing again. We have a small group participating in VAHS this spring, but wow, did they bring it! Times were faster than last time the team hit this course so kuddos to all! A special congrats to Zach who pulled out a 3rd place podium spot! Go Chain Gang!

NICA Race 2 - Stokesville

October 06, 2019

What a day! Nice fall weather despite a little rain and...... the Chain Gang did great! All the dedication, hard work, and perseverance is paying off! GREAT SPORTSMANSHIP cheering for teammates and competitors! Completing a race even when the chips are down takes strength mentally and physically. Seeing one of our teammates run 2 full laps on the course due to an unfixable mechanical was inspiring. Congrats to all of our amazing athletes, 5 of which made podium. Go Chain Gang!
