Every year, the USA Cycling Development Foundation awards four scholarships to collegiate athletes that exemplify the qualities set forth by their namesakes, Joshua Kuck and John Stenner. Each scholarship is awarded to one man and one woman, each a full-time student and licensed member of collegiate cycling. All USA Cycling collegiate members are encouraged to apply for one or both of these prestigious awards. You can find details about each in the scholarships' applications by visiting: http://www.usacdf.org/dfstory.php?id=3252
For the second year in a row, Baylor Cycling has been represented at the USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships! This is a note-worthy mark for Baylor Cycling as we progressively work to increase the representatives of the club at future SCCCC mountain and road bike races.
Thanks to all the cyclists who came out and raced this weekend! This was definitely the largest turnout Baylor has seen at a mountain bike race in several years!
We could not have put on this race without the help of our faculty advisor, Joseph Rafferty, and his clan of Baylor Cycling Alumni (Brandon and Josh). Please thank them for all their hard work next time you see them!
We only have two more races left before a long break which precedes the conference championship weekend. If you have not already signed up to race the next two weekends and wish to, please e-mail one of the officers.
Thanks to all who came to the first meeting of the 2010-2011 school year. If you have any questions about upcoming rides, races, joining the club, or anything else cycling related feel free to e-mail one of the officers:
Emilie Miesner - emilie_meisner@baylor.edu
Andrew Cork - andrew_cork@baylor.edu
We hope to see you out on the road or trails soon!
Hello cyclists,
- We gave a huge kudos to Amy West who got 7th in the Cross Country and 9th in the Short Track at USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals. Sic 'em Amy! We're proud of you!
- The 24 Hour Ride will be Thursday 11/19 - Friday 11/20 at Daniel Fountain Plaza across from Fountain Mall. It's going to be a huge event and lots of fun! Plus, let's not forget that we're riding to benefit the Jon Pursley Victim Fund. At the next meeting (11/10) we'll be signing up for shifts to ride and going over final details. Also I'll be sending out a copy of the event flyer some time in the next week - start posting them everywhere!
- The Waco Women on Wheels Mountain Bike Clinic is coming up (11/6-11/7) in Cameron Park. We'll have the opportunity to volunteer as a team to help out at the clinic, meet some mountain biking pros, see some sweet bikes, and earn service points. More details to come.
- Upcoming Rides:
- Thursday 4:30 - easy ride leaving from Fountain Mall
- Saturday
- 9:00 - Jon-Howard is leading a long fast ride leaving from Fountain Mall. Contact him if you're interested
- 11:30 - GUT PACK RIDE leaving from Fountain Mall. Short group ride to VITEKS FOR GUT PACKS! We'll meet up with those who went on the long ride at Viteks a little before 12. Yes, there's a Baylor game but we can watch it at Viteks and 'tailgate' there. Wear your Baylor jersey! (please remember to bring $$$ to buy food at Viteks!)
- Those who ordered team performance fleeces at the meeting I'll be sending you another email with more specific details.
- ***I just received an email from the person in charge of Beardowns. They've eliminated the rule restricting us from having only 2 cycling members per team. They want us out in full force to kick butt and take names. Anyone interested? The event will be next Wednesday. Registration ends Monday.
Although cycling is slow this time of year I can assure you it will pick up quickly in the spring. In the mean time, put some base miles under your butt, serve others through volunteering and riding at the 24 Hour Ride, and get to know your team mates! I haven't seen several of you for a while - please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
