Race Weekend Coming Up! XC & DH

Mountain Bikers,

There is a race this weekend!

If you are interested in going to this race in Albuquerque please let me know as soon as you can! Preregistration ends at midnight this Thursday. Events include Downhill or Cross Country. We will be leaving this Friday and returning Sunday. We are trying to set up accommodations with some fellow riders from NMU but if we cant make that work air mattresses and tents will be our best friends. There will be more info at the meeting on Thursday. If you can't make the meeting let me know. Please let me know if you have any further questions. The more people we can get out there to represent the U of A the better! You can email me or call me at 520-301-6064.

Thanks,

Sean

The ride is USAC sanctioned which means all participants must wear a helmet, purchase a USAC license (annual or $5 day of) and must have a mechanical brake on their bike (coaster, rim or hydraulic--no legs). Otherwise, ride any bike you like and enjoy the cruise!

Support UA Cycling at the JW Marriot Resort & Spa

The cycling club is selling raffle tickets for a chance to win a night for two at the JW Marriot Spa & Golf Resort in Tucson. The package includes greens fees for two. If golf isn't your thing, the JW Marriot also boasts trail access to some of Tucson's best mountain biking. All proceeds from the ticket sales will directly benefit the cycling club.

The tickets can be purchased by check or cash by using the "Contact" page of this website. Or, pay with a credit card via Paypal through www.uacyclingraffle.blogspot.com. That's also the website with all the nitty-gritty details of the raffle.

Bottom line, $10 gets you a raffle ticket and a warm fuzzy feeling that you've contributed to something great. The UA Cycling club sends a huge thanks to the JW Marriot Spa & Golf Resort for their generous donation and to the rest of our sponsors.

Now we thank you.
