Spring Update

Posted on by Social Media

We hope everyone had a restful break and you’re ready for the new semester! Here are some updated for the team and how you can get involved:

1.) Contact us on how to join. Dues are $40 and get you a team mask, water bottle, plus access to all our sweeeeet sponsor discounts!

2.) Once you’ve joined, you can come on our rides. Currently:
Mondays @ 8 AM: skill practice at Rillito Downs. We’ll work on turns, sprints, and other handling drills.
Wednesdays @ 9 AM: Foothills ride. I’ll lead a group into the foothills for some fun (and sometimes steep!) hills. Expect ~30-40 miles and 8-10 hills, but you can turn back at any point in time. We’ll re-group at the top of each hill.
Thursdays @ 8 AM (weather permitting): doughnuts at the park. We’ll meet at the park off Bonita and Congress for doughnuts and empanadas (provided by the team). We may swap this to the afternoon if it is chilly.

Later in February: time trial series. We’ll do a ‘most improved’ rider award over the course of 4 time trials—more details when we get closer to that.
General requirements from the school for all rides:
1.) Only current team members can attend rides
2.) Complete the Wildcat Wellness Check before the ride: https://wellcheck.arizona.edu/
3.) Complete a weekly COVID test. On campus is the easiest, and they use the new saline swish instead of the nasal swab.
4.) Masks are required.
We hope to see you on the road soon! Bear Down!
