It's here!!! We finally have a kit store open! It is on-demand so you can order whenever you want! If you are considering purchasing kit, please also consider donating. We don't make anything off of the kit so a donation would go a very long way!

Please let us know if you need any specific items and we can try to get something cooked up.

BIG THANKS to our sponsors The Bike Room and 2 Rivers Bicycle and Outdoor who's contributions have landed their logos on the jersey.

This last week UW-W Cycling Club member Alex Ferguson raced in the USA BMX Grand Nationals. This is the final race on the national circuit and also the biggest one as well. So big, it takes 2 whole days to finish! Out of 45 riders in the 17-20 year old cruiser class, Alex was able to take 3rd place. Mega stuff

We're gearing up for an exciting road season, including the USA Cycling Collegiate National Championships in Waterloo, WI, and major races like the Tour of America's Dairyland!

We’re seeking donations and/or sponsors to help cover travel, registration, and bike maintenance costs. Donations of $100 or more will get your logo on our jerseys – the bigger the donation, the bigger the logo (see skinsuit template below)! A great way to support local athletes and gain exposure at national-level events.

Spring recap! The club members have been up to quite a bit!

Dylan Schroeder (riding for Team California) had a packed schedule that included the Redlands Bicycle Classic, Tour of the Gila, and USA Cycling Nationals. He had a strong performance in Charleston where he placed 15th in the U23 criterium!

Alex Ferguson has been very busy slinging BMX races which earned him a qualifying spot the UCI BMX World Championships to represent Team USA. After multiple great runs, he finished withing the top 40 cruisers age 17-24 in the world! Class racing from Alex!

Jack Heier has been ripping road season at the local races including the La Crosse Omnium and Tour of America's Dairyland. He donned the Warhawk jersey and wheeled his way to two wins at Grafton and Manitowoc.

The club has a lot planned for the upcoming academic year!

The club is pleased to announce that the UWW jersey is returning to competition. We are once again a USA Cycling official collegiate club team. A little late for MWCCC races, but just in time for local races. The club's president will be racing Battle on the Border this Sunday in Kenosha.

Hey everyone. Here is a brief-ish report of the club's first semester back.

The club's main goal for this semester was to re-establish ourselves as a recognized university student org / club sport. We wanted to lay a foundation to rebuild the club with the hopes of hosting fun events such as group rides and even getting a race team going again. The club's president has been in constant communication with asst. Rec Sports director Matt Schneider on important matters such as club funding, kit orders (and the licensing hurdles), USAC application, as well as other things. We can say with confidence that we have done a lot this semester, and have big plans for the upcoming semesters!

Good news regarding 2024-25 funding! The club applied for $1500 of SUF dollars and was awarded $1350 due to an excess of SUF requests. Hey, money is money and it's more than 0$ that we had this year. The SUF request was based on a 10 person roster with 3-4 competitive members with projected estimates of ~$5,500 (travel, fees, maintenance, etc) in expenditures and ~$4,000 of revenues (dues, donations, sponsorships). On the topic of donations/sponsorships, we have reached out to several businesses inquiring about sponsorships/donations such as 2 Rivers Bicycle and Outdoor. If anyone would like to donate or knows someone who would like to donate, please contact the president at [email protected]

Here's the thing. The fall semester was a slow one for us, as we expected. The casual season winds down with the weather. We plan on doing some recruitment and advertising in the spring when more people are thinking about riding. That being said, we will be introducing group rides (community members welcome!) when the weather is warm enough. The club president plans on riding these when he can, even if no one shows. Routes will be shorter at first, 10-15 miles no-drop. If we have enough demand, we will also include longer routes, fast rides, and see if we can get some trail action of at the Muir/Emma trails. Hopefully with campus recruitment and group ride exposure, we can attract more members.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day!

P.S. I know we got you guys excited for new kit! Don't worry, we are still working the hassles of that out. Matt is helping us out and we are getting connected with university marketing and communications to see what we can do with a limited budget with/without licensing.

Take care everyone, and ride on!

- Jack Heier, UWW Cycling Club President
