In Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Bike Law CX team participated in the Tailwind Veterans Memorial Park Cyclocross Race. Bike Law teammates Amy Meldrum and Wade Burch rode their way to the podium with Amy taking the top spot in the Women’s Category 3-4 race and Wade riding to 2^nd place in a very fast and talented Masters 35+ field. Additionally, Bike Law lawyer and team “captain,” Bryan Waldman, missed the podium by one spot, taking 6^thplace in the Masters 45+ division.

In Ashville, North Carolina, Bike Law Lawyer and newbie cyclocross racer, Ann Groninger tore it up in the AVLCX Pisgah Brewery Cross Race. A wet muddy day made for perfect cyclocross conditions, but Ann managed to keep the new Bike Law kit relatively clean and is now hooked on the sport. We expect her to be a regular on the North Carolina cyclocross circuit for the remainder of the season!

MUCH more to come.

Bike Law North Carolina

Ann Groninger Dec 06, 2022

Unless you’re a very recent follower of ours, you’ve heard us talk before about “contributory negligence.” To recap: “pure contributory negligence” is the law in North Carolina and only 3 other states (Alabama, Virginia, Maryland).
