Berry finishes Belgian Euro Cross Camp campaign

Jan 6, 2010 by editor

OBRA’s Joshua Berry, an Idaho rider who moved to Portland this year to learn the finer points of navigating through mud during cyclocross season, has been in Europe with Geoff Proctor’s Euro Cross Camp and recently published a brief diary on cyclingnews.com.

Berry’s performance at the USGP in New Jersey, where he finished 6th in the U/23 category, paved the way for selection to the European trip. A regular rider on or near the front of Oregon’s Elite Men’s races, he won the Blind Date at the Dairy series and finished second at the SSCXWC09.

Berry competed in 10 races over 16 days at the same Belgian camp that has previously hosted Ryan Trebon, Jeremy Powers, Erik Tonkin, Jamey Driscoll, Barry Wicks, Jesse Anthony, Bjorn Selander, Danny Summerhill, Troy Wells and Nicholas Weighall.

From Berry’s cyclingnews.com diary:

“I have just finished my season and in the best way possible I am not relieved with the end but ready to prepare for the next one. Also, I decided that Ryan Weaver is the Sven Nys of Portland. Sorry, you don’t get that if you are not from Portland.”
