Bike 2 UA Day

Here's a few pictures to sum up Bike 2 UA Day.  The Cycling Club would like to thank Trek Bicycles of Tucson, City of Tucson Transportation Department, and UA Parking & Transportation for putting on such a fun event.   And thanks to Clif Bar for the Clif Bars (and Shot Bloks too!).  

Club members probably lubed 50 squeaky chains, installed 100 Incredibell's (a Bike Fest giveaway), fixed 5 flats, adjusted many brakes, cables, and fed many pounds of food to hungry campus bike users.

ASU Crit - February 22, 2009

So the UA Cycling Team continues to dominate the "A" catagories in the SWCCC.  We occupied the top-6 spots in the Men's A race and the top-4 spots in the Women's A race.  You can look at the results here to get an idea of the competition we were up against in those categories.

Niko Skievaski (ASU) won the Men's B event and Terrin Lane (ASU) won the Women's B event. Cedric Bosch was the first UA racer in the Men's B event in third.  Kate Van Roeckel and Kim Truitt both started the Women's B race for the UA but were forced to abandom due to an early crash.  

Altogether, we had 18 racers representing the UA.  Everybody raced in the Collegiate races and most racers doubled-up for their category races as well.

What a great start to the race season.  Next up we've got the Hillsboro Omnium, the SWCCC Road Race Championships.  UA Cycling is out to defend our SWCCC title!
