About the Team
The 2006 Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference* (ECCC)
Spring Road Racing Season marked the inaugural season for the Colgate
University Cycling Team. The road schedule was comprised of nine
consecutive weekends of racing starting the first weekend in March and
ending the last weekend in April. Most of these weekends consisted of an
individual or team time trial, road race, and a criterium
stretched across Saturday and Sunday.
The 2006 Season also saw the Colgate Cycling Team host the
1st Annual Colgate Fall Classic in Hamilton, NY. It was a resounding
success and we have plans to make it bigger and better at the 2nd Annual
Colgate Fall Classic in late September 2007. More information will be
forthcoming.
Additionally, the 2006 Colgate Fall Classic was the
unveiling of our new cycling kit, which is available for purchase.
And lastly, financial and in-kind support from individual
donors and sponsors has allowed Colgate Cycling to get off the ground and
keep running.
The Colgate Cycling Team would like to take a moment to
thank the following sponsors who have helped make this past season and
future seasons possible: Adventure Bikes and Boards, Mezza
Luna, Roger’s, New York Pizzeria (“Slice’s”), and Combustion Science and Engineering. Come
this fall, their logos will be seen on the new team kit. Additionally, the
Colgate Cycling Team would like to acknowledge the support and assistance
of Roxanne Benson and Janet Little in Recreational Sports, our faculty
advisor Erik Moore, our spinning instructor (and so much more) Deb Bordelon, Karl Clauss, and especially Randy Adam.
* The ECCC is one of 10 regional governing bodies for the
National Collegiate Cycling Association, which is a standing committee of
USA Cycling. It consists of collegiate teams from Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and Delaware.
It organizes the Fall Mountain Bike Racing Season and the Fall Cyclocross Racing Season, as well as the Spring Road
Racing Season.
