For several years now, Cyclocross Magazine has been the title sponsor of the United Kingdom’s www.cxmagazine.com Racing Team.
Starting for the 2015-16 season, we’re excited to announce, we will have a small presence in the American cyclocross scene as well with the Cyclocross Magazine Racing Team.
“Andrew Reimann, our star editor based in New Jersey, conceived of the idea of flying the colors of the magazine while racing the Elites this season,” said Cyclocross Magazine’s founder Andrew Yee. The team now stands as a husband and wife duo, with Kathryn Cumming, the current New Jersey State Champion and top ten finisher of nine UCI-level races last season, representing black and orange in the Women’s Elite fields.
“Kathryn has had really strong races, and may surprise some people this season,” Yee said, after watching her fight to a top 20 in Austin at the 2015 Cyclocross National Championships in January.
“We’re a small organization and team, but we’re honored and thrilled to have a competitive UCI racer wear our jersey in the States this season. Cumming and Reimann will be great evangelists for Cyclocross Magazine’s mission to grow and celebrate the sport of cyclocross, and if you see them at any event, they’ll jump at the chance to chat and hear your feedback about all things CXM and cyclocross.”

Cumming has a full UCI season scheduled for 2015-16, starting with the two C1 races of China’s Qiansen Trophy starting next weekend in Beijing and then in the island of Hainan, where she will be racing against international fields and fellow American riders like Emily Kachorek and European-based Christine Vardaros.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to race for Cyclocross Magazine,” Cumming said, “I had great support with the Austin crew, Team Yacht Club, for the last few seasons, but it will be amazing to partner up with one of the biggest names in the sport as I continue to the next level.”

Cumming has also landed a color-correct bike sponsor, and will be riding a team edition VonHof CX bike this year. VonHof is a small batch frame company located in Hoboken, New Jersey that specializes in American handmade aluminum and steel frames.
We look forward to seeing you at the races…if you see us in the jersey while racing, or covering and event, please be sure to say hello, heckle or better yet, offer a post-race hand-up.
