545 Velo Cycling Team 545 Velo is a multiple-category bicycle racing team based in Newton, MA. Membership
545 Velo currently consists of over 40 strong and dedicated cyclists.

Based in Newton, MA, 545 Velo is a road-bicycle racing team committed to promoting our passion for all aspects of cycling. With a main focus on racing and training as a team we also work to promote bicycle safety, racing and awareness, and general fitness within the local community.

We race and train as a team.

๐ŸŽ‰ 545Velo BOSSCROSS 2025 โ€” What. A. Day.

Dust in the air, unhinged announcing, gritted teeth everywhere โ€” and smiles to match. The event was everything we love about cyclocross: fast, friendly, occasionally chaotic (we still love you, Cat4/5), and full of heart.

The new course features were a big hit (even if a few barriers wanted riders to take that literally). We saw some clean bunny hops, heroic remounts, a few unplanned tumbles, and plenty of determination. It was a beautifully dusty day (sad but we still gotta ride!) to remember.

A massive thank-you to everyone who made it happen:
๐Ÿšฒ Our incredible sponsors โ€” Wheelworks, Teddie Peanut Butter, and Conteโ€™s Bike Shop โ€” for helping us keep this event rolling.

๐Ÿ”ง Abby Velo for providing neutral support and saving more than a few racers in the pit.

๐Ÿ™Œ And most importantly, every single 545 Velo volunteer who spent the weekend building, taping, timing, cheering, and tearing it all down again. Youโ€™re real MV[d]Ps.

To all the racers, spectators, and hecklers who came out โ€” thank you for bringing the energy.

Hereโ€™s to another year of mud, dust, boogers (see BO**ER hat in one of the podium pictures), smiles, and that perfect mix of suffering and joy that only cyclocross can deliver. See you next year!

Feedback on our course design the past two years suggests that we pretty much have the tight 4-H Fairgrounds venue dialed like a fine shot of espresso. In need of a refresher? Haven't raced it yet? Here's on-board video from 2024 ๐Ÿค˜โฃโฃhttps://vimeo.com/deepbrook/bosscross2024-cat-4-5-40-plus
