Kenda-Seven racer took lead early and never looked back
In commanding fashion, reigning U.S. National Champion, Mary McConnloug (team Kenda-Seven Cycles), earned her second consecutive victory at the Mount Snow stop of the NORBA National Series this Saturday, June 17. Attacking from the start, Mary took a decisive lead in the first lap that she never relinquished and finished with a nearly two-minute cushion over second place.
Mount Snow is considered one of the most demanding courses in the series. It features approximately 1,000′ of climbing per lap, perilous descents, and ribbons of classic rocky, rooty east coast singletrack. Fresh off of the World Cup circuit in Europe, Mary said of the course, “I’ve always loved racing here.”
In the pro men’s cross-country event, teammate Mike Broderick scored an impressive 13th place, despite a poor call-up position. He and Mary have focused their season on the World Cup and have not contested any of the previous Nation Series races.
Both McConneloug and Broderick have their sights set for next weekend’s World Cup race at Mount Sainte Anne in Quebec, Canada.
