Felt and Greyhound Juice Join Verge NECCS
The Verge New England Championship Cyclo-Cross Series, presented by Cycle-Smart, is proud to announce Felt Bicycles and Greyhound Juice as the newest sponsors of North America's premier regional cyclo-cross series.
While based in Southern California, Felt has thrown its full weight behind supporting cyclo-cross in New England. Beginning last year with its sponsorship of Verge NECCS champion Mark McCormack and continuing into 2005 with the addition of U-23 National Champion Jesse Anthony, Felt has endeavored to bring its company philosophy - “To design, develop and deliver the best
bicycles in the world. Period." – to the world of cyclo-cross with the F1X 'cross bike.
“Felt has gained so much from our association with such great elite riders as Mark McCormack and Jesse Anthony,” said Felt Marketing Manager Beverly Lucas. “It was a no-brainer for us to say a resounding 'yes' to the opportunity to sponsor the Verge Series. The Verge Series is the epitome of what cross racing is all about - we learn from it and, most importantly, we bloody love it!"

Started in Seattle by bike racers Greg and Sirikit Valentin, Greyhound Juice offers full line of skincare products, including every cyclo-cross racer's favorite, a pre-race warming salve. Created from a base of shea butter, Greyhound Juice's salves ward off the cold and wet all too frequently visited on the Verge NECCS in November and December.
“My introduction to bike racing was in cyclocross, so I am partial towards this discipline,” said Greg Valentin of Greyhound Juice. “In fact, our first product is a muscle warming salve that is ideal for cold weather riding that is so often associated with cyclocross. Given that the NE series is such a successful series and that there is a great chance for a large audience, I am willing to invest my marketing in the series.”
