At MTB Nats, Josh Bezecny took the overall omnium, and the team took second! Also, Colorado schools took four of the top five overall places, and further confirmed that we can ride in almost any condition. And finally, three riders represented us at Cyclocross Nats in Portland taking fourth overall.

CU Cycling takes 2nd at MTB Nats
At Mountain Bike Nationals in Angel Fire, New Mexico the CU Cycling Nationals team took 2nd. Thanks to our riders, coaches, sponsors, and fans for another dominate, successful mountain bike season. One clarification: In their original press release, USA Cycling mispoke and said "Fort Lewis College successfully defended their Division I Team Omnium," when in fact CU Cycling won last year's Division I Team Omnium. USA Cycling has apologized for, and corrected the error, but since it ended up in print in various publications, we wanted to clarify it ourselves.

CU Cycling Invitational - March 29th, 2003
Unfortunately, CU Cycling was unable to organize a race for its tentative March 29th date, but we still want the company of our fellow collegiate athletes. We have decided the next best alternatvie to a race was to invite everyone to Boulder to accompany us on one of our infamous group rides.
We are still trying to put a race together, albeit another date, and hopefully will have an announcement shortly. However, we figured many of you are traveling to the Front Range for CSU's Sunday race, so we thought we should make your trip worthwhile.
Post-ride info: We are meeting for food and a movie in Hellems 199 (#36 on map). Bring $5 for a burrito, chips & salsa, and more.
You can download the invitational flyer for details. There is no registration (or cost for that matter) for the event, but we would appreciate an RSVP to: invitational@cucycling.com.
