We're about set to host our annual ACCCCCCC Conference race. This year we're excited to finally get a race on campus, around the WVU Stadium. But first we're going to hurt the other teams with a time trial in Mt Morris that includes a 1.2mile climb up Kiger Hill.

02/12/2009 Road Season Begins

This weekend commences the 2009 ACCC Road season, starting with NCSU for a RR and Crit. It's been a rough start this year, with a few schools unable to put on their races due to conflicts with other events consuming their venues. Team activity has been at an all time high this whole school year, and hasn't really slowed down due to weather. It just shifted from wheels to boards. We'll see how that translates to race results-but it's more about the fun anyway, right?

01/12/2009 Jerseys Are In!

All the tops and bottoms are in, including the cold weather gear. Socks have not come in yet. There is a limited supply on sale at Pathfinder, and other items will be made available to the public after classes resume and the team members have a chance to get what they need.

01/12/2009 C-dale Art Redux

Cannondale's 09 paints do not include any versions of yellow/gold, nor a usable blue, so we had to remove that. But we did get some very custom additions.

The custom bike order along with component orders will be placed at the end of the semester, so we should have them by February for racing.

01/12/2009 Jersey Order Placed

01/12/2009 Random Something

I was surfing the internet looking for ideas on how to improve this website, and I ran across StumbleUpon.com. I found some amazing things while looking at things related to bicycles, including a working bike made entirely of Wood, and a bike that I think is an awesome piece of art, but I doubt its rideable.

Since April of last year, WVU Sports Club Federation (SCF) has been working with WVU Student Government Assoc.
