The Tour of America’s Dairyland has five criterium races for junior development. Several prominent national devo teams race ToAD as a final tune-up race for […]
Last year, I experienced a type of racing that I had never had before — very large fields (120+) and huge crowds at Tulsa Tough gave me a taste of what it must feel like to be a pro. This year, I got all of that and more as my Harvest Racing teammate, Jordan Ross, won […]
Harvest Racing was well represented in this past Memorial day weekend’s races. With multiple podiums by junior racers, as well as strong performances by the senior squad, there was lots of high-fives to go around. Cole Limpach: 2nd, Quad Cities, M4 In the Quad Cities Men’s category 4 race, junior Cole Limpach made it to the […]

Harvest Racing Development team member Tyler Reynolds recently won the Cat 4 Tour De Husker criterium. After the race, we got together with Tyler’s father, Steve, to discuss Tyler’s development as a junior. Steve is also a competitive cat 4 cyclist, and is currently able to offer support to Tyler during the race itself. It’s fun seeing […]
We were grateful to get the invite to the Rapha Prestige Midwest event last weekend. It was awesome just to be able to ride this great course, but it was even more fun that we put in the fastest time. Scroll down to see a gallery of images from the event by Lucas Marshall. We have […]
One of the things I like about road and cross bikes are their drop handlebars. The mono-position flat bar of mountain bikes just doesn’t do it for me. Drop bars give you so many more options. The question is then, where should your hands be and when? As a junior, one of the first camps […]
Can I take a moment to share how grateful I am for having the opportunity to race for The Harvest Racing team? (ed note: “yes”) Our team, as presented by the Midwest Cycling Community, came together this inaugural season through the efforts several people. Kent McNeill (Owner, Trek Bicycles Stores) and Ryan Atkinson (Owner and founder, […]
A few images of the juniors racing with wild abandon through the rain at Cliff Drive.
I learned a few good lessons doing my first P/1/2 race at Snake Alley. The racing was good but short. Snake Alley is a race of attrition where, if you are not near the front, you fight like hell to get as close to the front as possible. However, you may learn that even in […]
If you ever find yourself around the quad cities and care to venture off the beaten path, there’s a swell little park you should visit, or pitch a tent. Wildcat Den State Park just a few miles up river from the Melon City Criterium course. It’s small enough that you can easily see everything there […]
After several recent second places finishes, I finally got to stand on the top step of the podium at this past weekend’s Nebraska Omnium Weekend’s cat 3 criterium in Ashland, Nebraska. The race featured eight corners and an uphill finish. Pre-riding the course, I found that turns six and seven were very tight, requiring some […]
Crash-o Sore-ass Wrecks: The Lead Up. I wrecked myself on a training ride a few weeks ago. It was dumb and the outcome has sucked …fiercely sucked. I will get to the specifics in a bit, but this injury has been part of a month that I never want to relive: It began with what […]
We are proud to have an athlete and person like Brady Murphy on the team. A class-act both on and off the bike…an exceptional athlete and person, who truly completes the Harvest Racing team and its values. This article is a repost from Brady’s blog that we just had to reshare. My teammates joke with me […]
Harvest Racing’s Jordan Ross took the family up north last weekend to compete in the LaCrosse Omnium and sat down with Brady Murphy to share his thoughts on the experience. What made you decide to make the drive to Wisconsin? It was a last minute, a perfect storm – LaCrosse is home to my wife’s sister and my […]
Harvest Racing’s Brady Murphy sat down and talked with last weekend’s omnium champion Lucas Marshall about his performance, the team’s effort and whispering to cows at the Chris Lillig Memorial/Old Capitol Criterium Omnium in Iowa City. What was your perspective going into a wet and gritty road race? I hate the mess of rain so I […]
Harvest Racing had a strong weekend at the Chris Lillig Memorial/Old Capitol Criterium Omnium in Iowa City. Thanks again to the Trek Bicycle Stores of Omaha for supplying luxury team transportation in the Sprinter van. The added time working on strategy together really paid off. You’ve gotta see what our lodging was like for this weekend. […]
“The Harvest Racing team took to the roads and streets of Eastern Iowa for the Chris Lillig Memorial Cup and 38th annual Old Capital Crit weekend. The Cup began with nasty Spring conditions which gave way to a near perfect sunny Sunday for the criterium in Iowa City. I managed to take some time out […]
The Harvest Racing team showed up in force for this past weekend’s Twin Bing Classic road race just outside of Sioux City, Iowa. Billed as 7000+ feet of climbing over 80 miles of rolling Iowa farmland, this race had all the makings of a USAC Spring classic. The team rolled out of Omaha early to survey […]
Last night, even though the we put the kibosh on the Wednesday Night Ride out of the Trek Bicycle Store, Jordan, Brady and I still went out and braved the elements. It was actually nice getting to practice riding in a small group that would simulate a three man breakaway. We’re all pretty astute at […]
The First Race of 2015 The Harvest Racing Team competed in its first race of the 2015 season at this past weekend’s Tour De Husker.
