Thank you so much to everyone that helped us make this event so successful! We raised over $2800, $2655 of which came from online support. We also rode 1962 cumulative miles, and laid the groundwork for events just like this one in years to come. We could not have achieved any of this without the help of our event sponsors:

Hey all! 3 quick announcements:1) I just heard from the organizers of NSC's grass track races, the latest of which will take place at 9pm this Sunday 1/29, and they've decided to add a women's only race after hearing that so many UMCT ladies were interested! This event is going to be super fun, so if you're at all on the fence, you should definitely attend.http://www.facebook.com/events/136248089827630/
2) There's going to be a UMCT meeting tomorrow, 6:00pm. Location still pending, but we'll make an announcement tomorrow. It'll most likely be in Cooke hall. Topics to be discussed: The 24Hr Ride for Research, and the Spring Break trip.
3) Remember to visit the Rec sports open house today at 4:00pm! Check out the details here: http://www.facebook.com/events/230497073698652/

Lots of new stuff! In no particular order:
- UMCT Calendar is now up to date, including all of the races through the end of May. Look for one or two big events still TBA, so check back in.
- We're entering the Build 1 training phase on Monday, and a new, up-to-date training plan has been uploaded. You can find it over in the forms and files section.
- We're 8 days from our next power testing session, brought to you by The Fix Studio. Be sure to send an email to karlschuchard@gmail.com if you're interested. This opportunity is only available to Dues-paid members.
- Racing season is less than 2 months away! It's time to get your annual collegiate USAC License. You can either pay $30 and get the collegiate license, or $60 to get a USAC road license with the free collegiate add-on. The big difference is that the $60 license covers you for both collegiate racing and any racing you do during the summer. If you decide to go with just the collegiate license now, and realize later you want to race during the summer, you'll have to pay the additional $60 to get another license at that point. You should do this ASAP, because it's the busy season for those guys, and if you show up to a race without a license you have to pay a fee, do a mountain of paperwork, and cause a big headache for the race organizers and officials. Just remember to click the free collegiate add-on if you decide to go for the full season license!
- This upcoming week will witness round 2 of the hotly contested UMCT Crazy Socks competition. Judging will occur on Wednesday February 1 at indoor training. MK & Jennie clearly had the goods in round 1. Who will up their game for round 2?
Check back for updates in the coming days!

Hey All! FYI, Dr. Linsey Hamilton will be teaching a clinic on proper stretching for cyclists on Dec 11, at 1:30, right after practice. Dr Hamilton is an incredible cyclist, and a great resource. We'll be having practice that Sunday as usual, then conducting the clinic immediately after practice. Don't miss out on this great opportunity! |

Results from the first official CRAZY SOCKS DAY are in! Competition was fierce, but in the end, two UMCT'ers, Jennie and MK, broke free of the pack with some admittedly quite crazy entries! Thanks to Twin Six for providing some awesome prizes. Check them out over at http://www.twinsix.com/

That's right, we're very excited to announce that this year, UMCT will partner with Kurt Kinetic, a Minneapolis, MN based company that manufactures some of the best trainers ever made. Needless to say, whether it's winter training or warming up at nationals, expect to see UMCT riders on those iconic lime-green Road Machines!
