We made a few changes to the crit schedule. Registration opens at 630am, and there are more collegiate primes. You can view the finalized flier here: TTT, RR, and Crit Flier (Updated 3/13).

We are hosting our race on March 17-18. There’s a collegiate TTT and RR on Saturday, and a crit on Sunday. The crit will have both collegiate and uscf categories. Check out the flier here.

Our start of semester meeting will be on Tuesday, January 24 at 7:00pm in 56 Barrows. There will be a presentation about the team and road racing for any new recruits. Even if you don’t need a review on how racing works, it would probably still be a good idea to come to meet with your team captain to discuss the season and regular training rides, and watch a silly PowerPoint. And we’ll have some free swag!

For those that haven’t heard, we ended up second place in the Conference in the mountain bike season, with three omnium champions; Kyle Zampaglione (MC), Joanna Bechtel (WA), and Jessica Kuo (WB). Nice job! Also, Joanna was voted “Most Talented Women’s A” in the awards. Let’s keep this momentum up for the road season!

Speaking of road season, our first official road event is this Sunday.

The BIG GAME is this Saturday, which means the BIG RIDE is on Sunday. For those that don’t know, this is an annual tradition between us and that Jr. college in Palo Alto where we just hand out and ride together. It’s hosted by whoever’s hosting the BIG GAME, which means this year we are driving to Stanford. There will be a 30 mile option,  a 60-70 mile option, an 80 mile option with some dirt, and a mountain bike option!

Although their school is vastly inferior to ours, their riding is comparable. They’ll have coffee and bagels available at 930am. Yes that’s right, FREE BAGELS AND COFFEE. They’ve been completely left out of the whole occupy movement, so let’s do them a favor and occupy their campus while we devour their bagels and coffee.

We will be meeting at West Circle at 815am on Sunday morning to carpool down to their campus with a small tower. Please sign up before Thursday night at 10pm. See you there!

Here are a few last minute updates for our race:

Saturday Updates

1. Light rain is forecast for Friday, but we are keeping our schedule the same. XC is still on Saturday, and the DS is still on Sunday.
2. We reserved campsite E, not D.
3. XC Reg opens at 7am, not 630am

As of right now, the weather looks like it will permit us to have our race as scheduled (Cross Country and Super D on Saturday and Dual Slalom and Short Track on Sunday). We will make the final decision on Wednesday night, and it will be posted right here.

We arrived at Angel Fire Resort today to find…tons of snow! We pre-rode the [snowy] course, and it’s gonna be a muddy, cold, and icy race. Joanna, Sofia, and Katie start at 9am, and the forecast calls for 23 deg F. The men, Nitish and Jordan, are racing the cross country at 12noon. Chase, Jordan, and Nitish will race the downhill seeding run tomorrow at 3:45pm. We’ll update with results tomorrow. Go Bears!
