The
Team
The University of Colorado has been a major part of collegiate
cycling since the inception of the National Collegiate Cycling
Association in 1987. The club's success can be attributed to CU
Cycling's reputation as one of the best programs in the
country, allowing the team to attract new talent and give new riders
the tools and guidance to reach their goals, each and every year.
CU Cycling has provided a venue for the development of
riders such as Tim Peddie, Juli Furtado and Tyler Hamilton. CU Cycling
strives to offer every member of the program the best opportunities to
improve, both on and off the bike.
 CU
Cyclists race in NCCA, USCF and NORBA category races. Riders
benefit from racing through the whole year by competing
in mountain, track, road, and cyclocross events.
The team's main focus remains collegiate racing. There is
no substitute for the teamwork and fun of racing at the collegiate level.
The goal of the NCCA is that the
team is placed above the result of any one rider. In collegiate
racing, placing a number of riders high in the results is
much more important than taking first. The point structure
rewards the most consistent team.
Bicycle racing is a time and capital intensive
sport, and there is no better time to test the waters than
one's collegiate years. The team provides the coaching,
resources, and camaraderie that help anyone reach their goals on the bike.
