NCCCC Launches New Logo
0
The NCCCC is proud to present a brand new logo! Many designs were submitted for the recent “new logo contest”, and after review, a few tweaks, and final approve, we are proud to announce and display our new look. A special congratulations goes out to Daniel Criag from UMTC for submitting the winning design. As a special thank you, Daniel wins an Oakley USA Cycling backpack. Congratulations Daniel!
2012 Road Schedule Announced
0Here it is – the 2012 NCCCC Road Schedule!
What’s new? Glad you asked!
NEW JOINT CONFERENCE EVENT!
We are teaming up with the Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference (the MWCCC) to do a joint conference event at Lindenwood University on March 17-18. This is going to be a FANTASTIC event, with some really great courses around the St. Louis, MO area. From what I understand, the RR and TTT will feature plenty of climbing while the Crit in downtown Charleston, MO has a cobbled brick street finish, which should make for some great racing and spectating! Fortunately, this date coincides with many of our spring breaks so it should be a good opportunity to either start off a good week of “southern” training or a nice way to cap off that spring break training camp. We’ll have more details to announce as we get closer, so stay tuned!
2012 NCCCC Road Season (as of Jan. 10th)
- March 17-18 – Lindenwood University, St. Charles, MO (Joint conference event)
- March 24-25 – Tour de Husker, Lincoln, NE (UNL)
- March 31-April 1 – Jayhawk Classic, Lawrence, KS (KU)
- April 7-8 – Open (Easter)
- April 14-15 – Wildcat Weekend, Manhattan, KS (KSU)
- April 21-22 – Hawkeye Weekend, Iowa City, IA (UI)
- April 28-29 – Gopher Weekend, Minneapolis, MN (UMTC)
- May 4-6 – Collegiate Road Nationals, Ogden, UT
The week ahead for Jan. 8th…
