The BC cycling club looks to finish their spring road season strong as they head to nationals in May.
The cycling team of Boston College deserves recognition as one of the most competitive and active clubs on campus. As part of the Eastern Collegiate Conference (ECC), the club participates in races in both the fall and the spring, requiring many hours on the road traveling throughout New England.
The cycling season is broken up into two parts: fall and spring races. Fall races consist of mountain bike courses while the spring season consists largely of road races.
In their first race of the spring season—the Rutgers Frozen-Toed Season Opener in Piscataway, New Jersey on March 6th—Boston College took 20th place out of 34 colleges and universities.
Boston College took a 13th place finish at the Colombia Grant’s Tomb race and the Stevens Duck Country Circuit in New York on March 13th. On March 20th, the team took 30th place out of 38 schools in the Philly Phyler. This competition took place at Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA.
Although the team is more than halfway through their spring season, they are still hard at work training for their upcoming events, including the Army Spring Classic in mid-April, Easterns at Dartmouth starting on April 24th, and the Collegiate Road Nationals in Madison, Wisconsin, from May 7th to the 9th.
