*** 2019 COLLEGIATE RACE CALENDAR***
Let's talk about racing...
If you don't know the first thing about collegiate bike racing, please start by reading this right here:
While you're there, please poke around through the other resources on that site as well. Including this bit which explains what a "racing license" is:
Based on our geographical location, Shippensburg University is in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference, or ECCC. Here's the 2019 ECCC Road Race Calendar:
Because of distance, there are really only three race weekends I expect our riders will have any interest in attending. However, these three weekends (including our race weekend) are SO CLOSE this year that I hope EVERYONE will put these on their personal race calendars. These are the races. These are why you are in this club:
MARCH 16-17, Philly Phlyer, Philadelphia, PA
MARCH 30-31, Bucknell Cycling Classic, Lewisburg, PA
APRIL 13-14, Shippensburg Scurry, RIGHT HERE, PA
MARCH 30-31, Bucknell Cycling Classic, Lewisburg, PA
APRIL 13-14, Shippensburg Scurry, RIGHT HERE, PA
However, besides these events we can all race collegiate events in other conferences. The Atlantic Collegiate Cycling Conference (ACCC) is just to our south. Here's their calendar:
Of particular note are:
MARCH 23-24, Virginia Tech (two road races!)
APRIL 6-7, Maryland
APRIL 6-7, Maryland
These races fill in gaps in the ECCC schedule quite nicely. Taken as a whole, we have FIVE really great, reasonably accessible race weekends ahead of us this spring. This is really great.
Remember that the club reimburses all race registration fees (and sometimes more, depending). And we generally travel on the cheap--big carpools, sleeping on floors, etc. We want to keep this racing thing as cheap as possible.
