4th Annual UA Criterium Updates
Thanks everyone for coming out and racing the 4th Annual UA Criterium! We had a record turnout of over 300 racers which included 50 juniors. Outstanding!
A huge thanks to our 30+ volunteers and sponsors. The event couldn't have happened with the support of Fair Wheel Bikes, Genuine Innovations, Beyond Bread, XOOD, and of course, the UA Cycling Club volunteers!
Two days before the race we had four inches of standing water pooled at the start/finish area. The issue started from a water main leak and was worsened from rain the past two days. Tucson Water had a crew out on the course from 2:00am-7:00am working to fix the problem and clear water from the course. Thanks City of Tucson!
A few items were left at the event. Please use the contact page on the website to claim any of these items (please provide a brief description) and I'll do what I can to get them back to you:
floor pump
sunglasses
one leg warmer
We also hope to have the race results posted online tomorrow. Please be patient. We'll have them up as soon as we can. Thanks again,
Chloe

Fall '09: What's Happening?
It's the time of Fall where midterms, bike racing, class projects, and pig flu, have finally come to pass (for me anyway). Those are my excuses for not keeping this website updated as often as it should. Especially, since the club has some exciting news! Here's the summary:
- UA Cycling takes home the 2009 MTB SWCCC Conference Title. Our club had it's largest turnout at a mountain bike race since (ever possibly). With 16 racers, we took 3 category wins, and qualified our team to race at Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals in Truckee, CA.
- Chloe Forsman wins D1 cross-country Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals & Kevin Clegg rides to a 10th place in the men's D1 race with a broken finger! In her last collegiate mountain bike nationals, Chloe unseated the reigning XC champion, Carla Swart, to add to her XC titles from 2006 & 2007. Matthew Jones and Michael Sencenbaugh rounded out the UA nationals team.
- Clif Bar sponsors UA Cycling. This means that UA Cycling members will have access to all the wonderful, nutritious, organic goodies that Clif Bar makes.
- Specialized sponsors UA Cycling. That's right, UA Cycling now has a bike sponsor.
- Planning begins for the 2010 UA Criterium. The race will be the 4th running of the UA Criterium. The race course is one of the best in Arizona and takes place in the heart of central Tucson on the U of A campus. The club will begin a search for event sponsors soon.
