Elle Pirahna: Maggie Coles-Lyster’s titanium track bike
Here at Naked Factory Racing we really like ‘cross, and that’s most of what we talk about. And we talk about it alot. But Sam’s roots are on the boards of a velodrome. So, when Maggie Coles-Lyster, Junior World Champion in the Points race and second in the Omnium, found herself without a bike earlier […]
NFR heads East to steal medals: 2018 Silver Goose Pan American cyclocross championships
“Hey. Steel bike kid. Come with us.” This is how they addressed 16 year old Naked Factory Phenom Carter Woods after he pulled off a bronze at the SilverGoose CX Pan-Am Championships on in Midland, Ontario this November. It seems the Ontario cycling officials don’t know who Carter Woods. Same for NFR’s 99lb “Killer” Emilly […]
Cross-toberfest! All the action from the middle-month of cross on the coast
After launching into the Cyclocross season full-tilt with a busy September, October was … just as jam-packed with races. Between Cross on the Rock races on the Island and venturing over to the big, scary Mainland for VCXC events, every weekend had a race. Or two. Nanaimo started Cross-toberfest off with Kona Kup, a post-turkey […]
Sweeping out the cobwebs – NFR’s speedy September
Cross arrived suddenly this year, it seemed. When the start gun fired at Topaz GP, some of us were more ready than others.

The women of Naked Factory Racing were looking sharp and on top […]

Cross on the Rock 2017 Season
This post started as a look back at the Cross on the Rock season through the lens of results. Two things happened. First, I quickly realized there’s only so many ways you can combine “Mical,” “Emilly” and “podium” in the same sentence without sounding like a broken LP played at 45rpm. The two didn’t […]
Naked in the Valley: BC ValleyCross Provincials
Last weekend, Canada’s west coast cyclocross season wrapped up – mostly – with BC Cyclocross Provincial Championships at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford. A small gang of five made up Naked Factory Racing‘s team, supported, as always, by Regan and Laila in the pits. We showed up with a small crew, but we walked away […]
The Biggest Tool in the Shed
You know that amazing adjuster-hammer-wrenchy-thingy-bob in your tool box that you have relied on for years. You use it daily, for so long, you can’t even quite recall how it got there. You are incredibly fussy about who gets to use it. Only a select few know how to handle it. It is for pro […]
