Cedar Hill is pleased to announce the return of Lowest Rates Cycling, our Northern Brethren, lovingly known as "The Canadians", this their 3rd trip to Nashville for their annual training camp. If you were on the pins last year (P123), it was likely due to one of these dudes. Also, if you didn't get any free beer after your race, then it was definitely one of these dudes (or possibly one of the Treehouse dudes) after all, we're all McKenzie descendants. Bottom line. This race just got really, really, hard. Jelly donut, anyone?

Race Update: T-Minus 45 Days

2/23/2016

Warmer temps has Spring knocking at the door. Looking closely at the early 2016 TBRA race schedule, a sense of excitement and nervousness sets in. It's been a long off-season and there are embers smoldering in the belly. All the more reason to weigh caution when balancing the serious nature of adding another set of intervals versus that 3rd donut.
Here's a little fire starter for you:
Returning for 2016, The Cedar Hill Criterium and The Hell of the South road race, race weekend is scheduled for Apr 9th & 10th. Maximizing your time in Nashville this Spring weekend, our devilish friends at Hell of the South have decided to add the Varken Berg Time Trial to their lineup! Our operatives tell us to expect a lumpy and intense (like our friend Marshall Bassett ) short 3 mile effort. An epic time trial course with flame throwers and beer(*two of these are for certain).  

Sunday, April 10th, the Cedar Hill Criterium returns for it's 5th year. We listed a number of exciting elements below, notably payout kickers for Cat 3 Women and Cat 2 Men, oh, and this fun community race video. 

Rapid fire Cedar Hill Criterium update:
  • Many of your event sponsors have returned. We can't thank the folks at the Madison Chamber of Commerce or the Madison Police Dept (volunteering officers on bikes) with their continued support. 
  • Returning for their consecutive 3rd year as your 2016 Official Cedar Hill Race Vehicle Volkswagen of Cool Springs 
  • ​The FREE Juniors races are now part of the USA Cycling Junior Race Development Series and on their national calendar. Over the years, Cedar Hill has seen tremendous growth in the Junior categories and we're stoked to have the opportunity to bring our race to more juniors regionally. Additionally, Smoothie King Truck/West End will return as a 2016 podium sponsor for these junior races. 
  • PRO123 bonus for  C2M & C3W
  • Large #EQUAL payouts
  • Free Intro. to Racing Clinic
  • Free 2-lap Beginners Race
  • Free Kids Race 
  • Great music, food, local craft beer
  • The Cedar Hill Growler Trophy

Return of the ​#HOSERS

Canadian Press Announcement on the return of the Canadian National Amatuer team, Apogée-Lowest Rates Équiope Cycliste Élite, our friends just north of our border. 

Back story: The #HOSERS came down to Nashville in 2015 for a week long team camp, tons of miles, and Molson Golden. A lot of miles and laughs and some hot bike racing action at
Hell of the South and Cedar Hill Criterium.

We look forward to seeing all of our friends
beer and donuts
at the 2016 Cedar Hill Criterium

Smell Canadian Bacon? Yeah, that sizzle was the culmination of a week-long Canadian Nat'l team camp in Nashville, maple syrup, #HOS, lot's of beer, #CHCRIT..oh, and this

The rest of the season was, typical TBRA style, pretty dang awesome. Tennessee Bicycle Racing Association promoters from all corners of our volunteer state gave you hammer heads more than >60 permitted events this year. Dang. that's a lot of kick butt racing throughout the year! For the numbers geek: TBRA's road director Nathan Stone reports supremo-growth for the skinny tires this year. 
We're stoked to bring you another full weekend of hard racing and great family fun in 2016. Our friends over at Hell of the South RR have been busy in their secret laboratory, God only knows what kind of beautiful nightmare they'll dream up for ya'll. You're still reading?!....You should probably put down your phone and go try on that nice onsie that Mammie got you.

For the record, we don't know WTH these chicas are doing, but they're wearing Swiftwick socks, and look to be having a damn good time #Swiftwick
Swiftwick Socks
Good socks = Happy Tootsies. So when our friends at Swiftwick reached-out and said "hey, can we come over an massage your lil piggies and slide some of deez on your feet?"...we were like "WHOA, need a beer there first, Homie"...haha, just kidding, that's actually not anywhere near the truth, but it sounded funny. 
Swiftwick did reach out and we're sure somebody's funky feet are gone be happy - 30 pairs of socks to some lucky devils! #THATSRIGHT! #PRIMESGALORE! 
See you this Sunday at Cedar Hill. Pre-Reg is open until Sat. 5pm CST. Come by the Swiftwick tent and say hello, ask for the Italian massage.

Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia
Please join us in welcoming for first year sponsors, MTSA, Midde-TN School of Anesthesia. MTSA will be on-site, supporting our Cedar Hill's Medical Director, Steven Ragle, MD. 
We're stoked to have extra helpers for Dr. Ragle, so he can really focus on figuring out what in the world he broke on his bike before his giant self got shelled...
In all seriousness, we're pleased to have MTSA on-board as your event medical staff, they'll be manning two separate medical tents, just in case this happens on the back side of the course and your team is left in shambles...
Seriously, stop by if you happen to get a boo-boo, we'll take care of you, or, just pour some of that orange burn-like-bejeebus-ointment on there and say "it's fine, drink this"...but we'd rather you just stop by and say hello and check out the booth!

Emily Magli
Wife. Mother. Bike Racer. Lingerie Designer & returning sponsor of Women's 123 Race (prime)
Many of ya'll may recognize Emily from her time of indentured servitude as Cedar Hill's Queen of Race Registration. Most of us Middle-TN dudes love to watch her drop the hammer on her sandbagging husband and then drink him under the table later. heh heh. Over the years, Emily has been so very generous with her time and now her business (*she's also in real estate if ya'll need a solid agent!)

My vernacular is just not capable of aptly describing such things (she would kill me if I call these pajamas or drawers...), here's the word from the pro-designer herself:
"I specialize in making garments from high quality silks and cottons. The garments may be worn for sleepwear, daywear, or evening wear. I make each item upon order. I also use many couture techniques that add an heirloom quality and beauty to the garment."
For more information, please click thru to Emily's Facebook Page

Picture
oh yeah we almost forgot, PRO 123 Ladies, Emily has sponsored a prime for the Women's 123 race: A White Silk Kimono (similar to this one pictured here), designed and handmade by Emiyl Magli (Valued at $200).

Deets:

3. Finish within the top 20 for all (4) 2015 Cedar Hill KOMs Challenge from any USAC/TBRA sanctioned races (Cat-5, Masters, Women Cat 4 PRO123 etc)

*obviously most of this is complete baloney, which tbh, tastes so much better than Canadian bacon, don't you agree?
April Fools!  

However, we would encourage you to pre-reg, or we may quite possibly price-gouge the beejebus out of you. 

AND

Smashville Epic Race Weekend. T-Minus 12 Days

3/30/2015

Weekend Musings. 

Sunny King happened this weekend. Damn they put on a big event. Congrats to everyone involved and all those who raced including the big fella (hope you're all good, mate). 

Moving on. Secret intelligence (Strava) picked-up on a significant amount of activity South of Smashville, which can only be interpreted as a number of 2015 Hell of the South recon missions, or, quite possibly, double-coupon day at the Lewisburg Cracker Barrel. 

Early return is the mad scientists at HoS designed a course is w/pain and beauty at a premium resulting in what will assuredly be a spectacular day of racing. A 21 mile loop with 3 nasty bumps and equally treacherous descents, long slogs into what could be amazing head/side winds, and if there's rain, oh sweet baby Jesus. Marshall, Sir, you have created a monster. Chapeau, my friend.

"Then he pulled on his pimp hat for the P/1/2/3 race and held onto that bull for a full hour. Chapeau to you my friend.” - Brian, you got a special kinda scribble going on there, and we dig that! Keep doing yo thang, boi. See you next month!

“feeling comfortable as the field thinned from about 90 to 30 riders….launched a bit early into the sprint and was swarmed in the final 200 meters, and finished 10th.”  You had’er dialed-in for sure..we would like to recommend fine-tuning your approach just a hair..this year go with just one double Ellison #boom

They’ve won so many times here, we may as well call it the Cedar Hill/TXRH Criterium, ah….but not so fast my friends...Village VW… they’ve been very busy this offseason! There’s also a strong possibility of some foreign mavericks who may try to steal your top spot. Whatever the case, gonna be awesome fun and hard as nails racing - Good luck!

http://teamwesports.com/2014/04/01/race-reports-hell-of-the-south-cedar-hill-criterium/
“At the last hill, attacks happened on the left and right, creating a massive sprint finish.” - Love the passion. We Ladies, keep bending those cranks and needles! Gonna be a good one this year!

http://www.jacksonvelosports.com/cedar-hill-criterium-2014/
“There are a few mild hills and 2 turns on a good road, making a really nice race course.” …well, Tom Gee, that dude is just amazing. Rumor has it he did a 400k recently, to SOUTH freaking CAROLINA. Go on with yo bad self, Tom. We can’t wait to see that fitness in April!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grKYP9kFMn0 Resident beer drinker, watt-bomb5k, posted this vid shot from the trunk of the pace car....not bad for 6 or 7 beers and a bag phone *note:you may want to take a motion sickness pill before watching this.

"Cedar Hill was tough, and had a lot of climbing for a crit, but I was ready.  Asheville isn’t the easiest place to ride with a standard 53/39, and I had been training for this.  I kept waiting to blow up, but I never did.  I attacked.  I covered.  I worked.  I also hid for the last few laps, because I wanted to test out my new legs at the finish.  And they didn’t let me down.  I got 4th. Stoked. Sh0p Kitty, you’re such a inspiration. Thank you for bringing all things fun and stoke to events! Hold onto that passion and know that Big Uni watches over you. #Boston. You lucky devils.

http://sadlebred.com/january-2015-news/
"Hell of the South and Cedar Hill have teamed up again for the first full weekend of TBRA RR and Crit racing, . Hell of the South offers gritty, Belgium style racing with less than ideal roads and typically early season cold, damp conditions. The following day Cedar Hill promises to be fast and thrilling. Over the past two seasons this race has grown to nearly 400 entries and is quickly building a reputation as one of the premier races in all of the southeast. “  Thanks, Saddlebred, we like our pals at HOS, they put on a kick-ass race and help make our double race weekend one of the best.…they also drink almost as much beer as we do, so we have that in common too.
