With a background in track and field, Maureen Bruno Roy made the transition to racing cyclocross in 2004 and quickly moved up the ranks with some big wins. Highlights include the overall win in the Verge New England Series, the overall win in the Verge Mid Atlantic Series, winning the Masters 30-34 Cyclocross National Championship, placing 3rd in the Elite Cyclocross National Championships and earning a spot on the US National Team to compete in the World Championships.
Last year, Mo made the switch to Seven Cycles, who became a title sponsor in the New Englander’s operation. This year, Bruno Roy has teamed up with Bob’s Red Mill and is tackling her first national cyclocross campaign, traveling across the country to some of America’s biggest races. Mo’s Seven Mudhoney SLX features an elegant set of titanium lugs with carbon fiber tubes, as well as a cyclocross specific titanium rear triangle. A full SRAM Red drivetrain provides the shifting for Bruno Roy, while a set of Mavic Cosmic Carbone Ultimates wrapped in Challenge tires keeps her connected to the ground. Mo prefers a 44 tooth Thorne Koksijde compact outer chainring and a 36 tooth compact inner chainring paired with her SRAM Force level cassette in a 12/27 configuration.
