UT Cycling will hold it’s Spring 2009 Information session on Wednesday, January 28th at 7:30PM in CPE 2.206.  If you are interested in joining the club, or have any questions, this is the time and place to get them answered!  See you there!

Texas Cycling is sprinting into 2009 and looking forward to a very successful road racing season.  We just had our annual training camp in Leakey, TX January 12-15, which was overwhelmingly successful and got everyone excited about the season ahead.  We even had one of our riders place in the top 10 in the first road race of the year this past weekend in Copperas Cove!

Check our ride calendar for upcoming rides and the race schedule for this season, and we look forward to seeing you out and riding!

First off, thanks to everyone who was able to join us at our first meeting!  If you weren’t able to attend or had any questions about anything we talked about, feel free to email us with any questions!

We have a few upcoming rides that we hope you’ll be able to join us on!  All rides leave from in front of Gregory Gym.

-Thursday, September 4th we’ll be riding out to the local criterium race.  Groups will leave at 4:30 and 5:30.  It’s an easy ride out there, and it’s a lot of fun to watch the races (or try them), so come check that out!

-Friday, September 5th we’ll have our weekly Shoal Creek Ride.  We’ll meet at Gregory at 5:00 and do a few laps of Shoal Creek.  This is another fairly easy and beginner-friendly ride, so come try it out!

We’ll have at least two weekend rides this weekend, as well.  For more info on those, as well as future meetings and rides, please join our email list by filling out the form on this page to the right.

Join the UT Cycling team this Friday (8/29) for the team’s oldest and most popular ride, the Shoal Creek Shootout!  After a yearlong hiatus, it’s back!

We meet at Gregory Gym at 5:00 on Fridays, and head North on Shoal Creek for about one hour of riding.  It’s a great social and beginner ride, and is perfect for any new people looking to meet other members and find out more about the team!

UT Cycling will be tabling in front of Gregory Gym from August 27th-September 2nd from 10-3 each day.  If you’re interested in joining the team, or just want to get some more information, stop by then to talk to current members and ask any questions you might have.  We’ll also be at Party on the Plaza on September 3rd.

Our first meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 3rd at 8:00PM in the Gregory Gym Games Room.  Just come in the front doors to Gregory, and we’ll have someone there to point you to the correct room.

If you’d like to join us on rides before the first meeting, consider joining our listserv, by filling out the form to the right.  We send out all rides and meeting announcements on it.

Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your Summer!

Whether you’re new to UT this Fall or Summer, or just new to UT Cycling, we welcome every to learn more about us!  More info about the team, how to join, benefits, etc, can be found on our about page.  If these don’t answer your questions, or you’d like more information, feel free to contact us!  Also, if you plan to be in Austin over the Summer, let us know and we can probably get you set up to ride with some current team members.

Finally, we’ll be having an information table during the first week of class, as well as information session.  More information will be available about these as they approach.

Have a great Summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the Fall!

UT Cycling raced to an 11th place finish in the Women’s National TTT event, and the Men weren’t far behind with a 12th-ranked finish!

Congratulations to both teams, and keep up the great work!

UT continued it’s string of successful Spring racing season this past weekend at our home race. The team not only took 1st in the Men’s A Crit, the Men’s A TT, and the Men’s B TT, but had an extremely strong showing, including no fewer than 13 other podiums on the weekend! The team raced great, and continues to look strong heading into the last two collegiate races of the season.

A special thanks go out to all of our sponsors, especially Bicycle Sport Shop and all of the many volunteers who helped make this weekend a great success.
