Collegiate Update

Racing has been canceled today due to snow. Boise got a big dump and people are reporting 40mph winds.

The team will be playing a basketball game against Portland State and hoping for a crit tomorrow.

The Collegiate Season Starts this Weekend

The Northwest Collegiate Cycling Season kicks off this weekend in Boise.

The MSU and UM Cycling Teams will be attending in full force. The UM Cycling Team is sending 10 riders. We rode with the team last night and they are ready to rock. I'm particularly excited about the Men's A Team Time Trial potential. John Fitzgerald, Jessie Agner, and Bryce Daviess make up the base of the team. John won the first TTTT and Jessie won the hill climb yesterday. I can't wait to hear how it goes. Also, newcomers Peter, Seth, Brian, and Luke all are strong and ready to rock the D group. I expect to see a UM victory in the D men's road race. Campbell will be representing for the ladies as she starts her quest for a NWCCC overall title, and national championship.

I'll keep the blog up to date this weekend with the latest UM Cycling news and notes.

Rebecca Rusch and the Marshall Mountain Challenge

I'm no Greg Siple and this isn't the Western Montana Hill Climb Championships.

This Thursday is not about record books, times or aero equipment. It's about bragging rights and who's been working hard during the winter. To celebrate Rebecca Rusch bringing her new movie to Missoula we are having a un-official mass start hill climb. The ride will meet at Big Sky Bikes at 4pm. We will complete the Turah Loop at a "piano" pace (my wannabe euro reference). On our way back in to town we take a run up Marshall. First guy and gal to the top get free tickets to the show.

Speaking of the show. Tickets are limited. I got the word today that 90 have been sold. Tickets are at Big Sky Bikes.

No TTTT Tomorrow

TTTT round #2 has been canceled.

Two Reasons:

1. I will be out of town tomorrow.

2. UM Team Trial practice.
