The 2024 Assault on Currahee Mountain put on by Chainbuster Racing, was put on just 5 miles away from campus at Lake Russell. The course was designed by the Piedmont Cycling team's very own head coach,
Jame Carney.  Forty-one miles of gravel and almost 5,000 feet of elevation put for a tough race ahead of the Piedmont Cycling team.
On the women's side, there was a ton of success! We had three women in the Long Open category.
Grace Wilson and
Emma Frost both snagged a spot on the podium in 2
nd and 3
rd place respectively.
Katie Prowell finished right behind them in 4
th place.
 On the men's side, however, it was just a series of unfortunate events waiting to unfold. Three of our athletes on the Men's cycling team suffered bike-mechanicals that put an end to
Ben Kolbie's and
Dylan Lindsey's races.
Preston Eye was able to come back from this and get 6
th in the Men's Long Open category.
