CBR says goodbye to two racers

Ryan Crabbe sprints for a Top 10 in LaGrange



This year's team was fortunate enough to have Ryan Crabbe and Stephen Bolton race most of the season. Ryan joined CBR in 2007 and won the Georgia Cat5 Road Race championship in his first season of racing. Steve joined the crew in 2008 and put in a 20 race season with his last team race in Elberton. Steve & Ryan both put in several great performances highlighted by achieving top ten finishes in the Tour of Atlanta Stage race. Both men placed top 10 in a 7 stage - stage race. Both were always strong competitors and typically were within the top 15 finishers in every race.

Ryan raced through LaGrange before moving on to Indiana for his new job as the head coach of the St. Mary's College Women's Soccer team. Ryan raced both road and cycle cross with the CBR team. Ryan recently upgraded to Category 3. Congrats Ryan!! Steve has also moved from Ft. Benning to Ft. Bragg. He will eventually return to his home in Colorado. We were lucky to have two such strong riders race and support our team. You will be missed, good luck guys!
