This race is named for current legend-in-residence, Amos Brumble, a legacy CCB club/team member and owner of the local Brumble Bikes shop in Westerly, RI.  Amos was one of the first riders from New England to spend extended periods of time racing in Belgium in his youth, cutting his teeth on the ever-challenging and often-windy and always-technical kermesse circuit.  This race is an homage to everything Amos has done for the New England Cycling community over the years as a rider, shop owner, and event promoter.  It’s also our way (the CCB and AP Junior Devo teams) of “being the change we want to see”, by taking on the task of promoting more road races in New England.  We believe this to be an important and integral part of keeping our cycling and racing community healthy and thriving.

-one note on start times: The Men Pro1/2/3 is listed for a start time of 12:01pm.  This should be a few minutes before the completion of the first lap of the Women Pro1/2/3 race.  The goal here was to reduce, as much as possible, the chance for overlapping/lapping fields.  We believe this should accomplish that goal.
