Kick Off Meeting

jordankestler — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 20:19:47 +0000

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!

Home Race Recap & BIG RIDE with Stanford Cycling

jordankestler — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:31:42 +0000

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!
