That's right, and it's about time this announcement came along. The Cycling Club will hold its first meeting this Thursday, August 27th from 6:00-7:00pm in the North Conference Room of the Student Rec Center. You need a Cat Card to get entry to the Rec Center, unless you fill out the form on the "Contact" page of this website with your full name.

Wildcat Night @ the Rec Center!

Come meet a few cycling club members on Monday, August 24th from 6:00-8:00pm at the Student Rec Center. We will have a table set up among all the other sports clubs in the North gymnasium. Keep your eyes open for some U of A cycling jerseys (but please don't mistake us for the Tricats!).

Find out about collegiate mountain bike and road racing, become a member, and network with some other bike-loving students on campus. Free Clif Bars!

Welcome back!

2009 SWCCC Mountain Bike Race Schedule

The SWCCC (Southwest Collegiate Cycling Conference) has a prelimenary race calendar for the fall collegiate mountain bike season. The series will have races for categories A, B, and C. So there's a race for everyone. Here's the current schedule:

• September 20th - Horny Toad Hustle MTB Race, Las Cruces, NM (hosted by NMSU)
• September 26th - High Desert Screamer MTB Race, Gallup, NM (hosted by UNM)
• October 10th - Dust Devil MTB Race, Fountain Hills, AZ (hosted by UA)
• October 16-18th - Collegiate MTB Nationals, Truckee, CA *Category "A" riders only

To race with the UA Cycling Club, you must purchase a USA Cycling Collegiate License and become a club member. The annual collegiate license costs $30, and a single-day license costs $10 (purchased at the event). If you're considering trying to go to Collegiate MTB Nationals, you must purchase an annual license. Unfortunately, you must be a full-time student to race.

But anyone associated with the University of Arizona or wider Tucson cycling community can join the club. Membership benefits are in the works for the Fall but include a discount at Fairwheel Bikes, and special pricing on our team clothing. To become a member, just fill out this form, and bring a check to cover the $35 annual dues (written to "UA Cycling Club") to the next meeting.

We hope to see you this Fall!
