Congratulations to Matt Brungard of our own Team MVC.  The guys kept the race tough (Jim Yankush took a prime) all weekend, and Matt put himself in a great striking position, with an 8th in the TT on Friday, a very impressive 6th in the tough road stage on Saturday and a 4th place finish in Sunday’s criterium to seal his top 5 overall in GC.  Complete weekend results can be found HERE.  Thanks again to everyone who came out to support Matt and all of Mahoning Valley Cycling (especially Matt’s cheering section, seen below).

Thanks to the local recreational cycling club, The Outspokin’ Wheelmen, for coming out to support The Tour of the Valley, Carbon Racing and of course, your own Mahoning Valley Cycling!  We love it when you come out.

More photos of MVC at The 2010 Tour of the Valley to come … Stay tuned.

Team MVC traveled to Chester, WV for a tune-up race before the Tour of the Valley and to celebrate the 4th of July with teammates. The paparazzi followed. The results include a win and 7 out of the top 8 places. Reports are sketchy but there may have been at least one more MVC jersey in the peloton than normal.  We will try to confirm these reports.

To all MVC Riders on the 2010 Roster:

We’re ordering team kits again this year.  Pricing was sent via email from Chris Anthony.  Our team director Jim Yankush will be collecting your checks, cash or money orders.  We’re pre-pay only, and the deadline is March 15th.  Please, email Jim or I with questions, and let Jim know quantities as soon as possible.  Thanks, guys.

Mark your calendars. Mill Creek Park has just approved Team MVC to once again host a notoriously tough crit at the park. If you’ve missed this race in past years, make sure you show up excuse-free and ready to race. More details to follow.

Tom C. is still killing it, even in the sub-zero temps.  Go, Tom, Go.
