In this final installment of our Cape Epic series, Payson is joined by Trinity Racing teammates Chris Blevins and Cameron Mason. Chris won the U23 cross country Pan American Championships in 2019 and placed second at the UCI U23 World Championships last year. Cam is a cyclocross racer from Scotland who placed third in the U23 European Championships last year. Both of them are at the forefront of the new generation of multi-disciplinary pro cyclists, which their team, Trinity Racing, as made its hallmark.
In this interview, they talk about the prospect of racing as a team in the Cape Epic even though, due to the unusual racing conditions brought on by the pandemic, they have yet to meet in person. Chris talks about why he chose to join Trinity this year, and how he’s finally finding the right balance between college and professional racing. He also talks about his latest creative side projects including poetry and music, and being a member of the advisory board of Silver Stallion, a non-profit in Gallup, New Mexico that provides bikes to Native American reservations in the area. Cam talks about the ups and downs of his 2020 season which was cut short by a broken collarbone in November, but which has allowed him to dedicate more time to creating videos for his popular Youtube channel. He also talks about stepping outside his usual cyclocross training by dipping a toe into ultra distance bikepacking over the summer. And both talk about why having creative outlets makes them better racers.
