Welcome back, Wildcats! We’re stoked to get the 2022-23 school year underway and to meet all of you!

 

If you love bikes (any type and racing or otherwise), then the University of Arizona Cycling team is the place for you! Our team rides road, mountain, CX, and more. We have daily team rides, tons of opportunities to race, and weekly meetings to help you learn more and get more out of your bike. If you’re new to UA, refer to our sticky post for common questions for new members.

Our first meeting is THURSDAY, AUGUST 25th, from 6-6:50 PM in Harvill 313. At our first meeting, we’ll discuss what we do, the perks of joining, and how to join. Dues are $40 per year and can be paid via cash, check, PayPal, and Venmo.

Not much to say beyond:

2022 ROAD NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! Our women took home the win in the TTT, and Cara won the road race (second in the crit). The guys finished 4th in the TTT, 11th in the road race, and mid-pack in the crit. Overall, the team won the road omnium title over UVM AND locked up the season-long omnium (across all 5 nationals). Boom! Number 1 team in the nation!

The return to racing went well for the Wildcats! A few highlights:

1.) Team membership is up to 50!
2.) We hosted four successful events (the Race Against Time, La Clasica San Manuel, and 2 days of Compost CX)
3.) We sent 3 riders to MTB nationals and 3 the CX nationals: Mary finished 4th at CX nats and the team finished 2nd in the relay!
4.) We’re gearing up for the return of our crit and road race weekend in San Manuel. Check the race pages for more info!

Of course, we couldn’t have done this without the support of all of our sponsors and the hardwork of the team! We’ll see you all in the spring semester!
