Bluegrass Nationals – Kentucky

The Bluegrass Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, on January 27 and 28 was the first stop for the USA Cycling Development team members who are based in the eastern United States. With a frigid and snowy start to 2018, the riders were itching to get some time on their bikes.

First up was Payton “P-Nut” Ridenour, coming off an impressive 2017 season earning the Race of Champions #1, National Age Group #2, and UCI World #2 plates in the 15-16 Girls class. She definitely picked up where she left off showing rad skills on the short, tight track to take the win on Saturday and a 2nd on Sunday. Camron Mason, a new rider to the team in the 16 Expert class, showed great potential with a 6th on Sunday. As the season ramps up, we expect great things from these two as they continue to develop and train.

The next stop on the USA BMX national circuit will be in mid-February at the Winter Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona. This will be the first race for the full team. Can’t wait!
