Lane Maher (JAM Fund/NCC) hasn’t been on the start line at a US Cyclocross National Championship race since December 2019, where he finished 15th as a 19-year-old in the U23 division, won by Eric Brunner. For the next three years, he did not race a bike at all.
The 23-year-old New Englander took time away from racing his bike to focus on his passion for trains. He was happy for a year as a railroad conductor, his main journey on the rails along the Hudson River between Albany to New York City, and then worked toward a degree in civil engineering at Central Connecticut State University.
