Races: September 18 & 19 – Spokane, WA September 25 & 26 – Bozeman, MT (women race free!) October 2 & 3 – Boise, ID Events: Downhill, cross-country, and short track on the Northwest’s best trails! There is no better way to kick-off the school year! Email Kamila (kamila@uw.edu) for more information. Summer has held myriad highlights for Husky cyclists. Whether it has been Kamila Gwiazda’s and Lisa Toner’s San Juan Islands tour or a contingent of Huskies riding the STP, riders have been enjoying the region on two wheels. Naturally, this has included plenty of race success. Pete Hall flew the purple-and-gold colors on his mountain bike at Wisconsin’s Suburu Cup, medaling in all three of his events (XC, short track, and super D); Genevieve Gebhart has been speeding around the velodrome; Ryan Larson stood on the podium after the crit at the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic; and Davis Shephard, after tearing up the Cascade Classic, smashed the Cougar Mountain course record.  "You call this a mountain?"

Husky Cycling has been at nearly every local road race and Huskies set the bar at the track, albeit under the cover of other teams. Grant Boursaw (Gregg’s Trek), Rad Cunningham (Lenovo), and Jordan Louie (Broadmark) are forces to contend with on Friday nights. With the days getting shorter, Husky Cycling is getting ready for the Northwest’s world-famous cyclocross season. We are already looking forward to defending our collegiate men’s individual national title and improving on the team’s fourth place overall.  Grant Boursaw. Photo by Katie Houck. The Collegiate Road National Championships are this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin and the University of Washington Cycling Team will be sending six riders, including NWCCC Men’s Champion Grant Boursaw. Backing up Boursaw, will be Jordan Louie, Davis Shepherd and Marc Schwartz. The men’s team will compete in all three events at nationals. On the women’s side, Lisa Toner and Devon Simpson will line up in Madison with the nation’s best.

The Husky Cycling Club ended one of their most successful seasons on record, capping off with an overall team victory in the Northwest Collegiate Cycling Conference. The final weekend of racing was hosted by Washington State University and University of Idaho cycling clubs. WSU hosted the road race Saturday morning in Palouse, Washington. Idaho hosted the team time trial Saturday afternoon in Genesee, Idaho and then the final criterium on their campus in Moscow, Idaho on Sunday morning. The Huskies only nabbed one individual win with Michael Kim in the Men’s D criterium and UW cranked out Team Time Trial wins in the Men’s A, B and D fields. Despite crashing in the final lap of the criterium, Grant Boursaw won the Men’s A overall with an insurmountable lead. But the biggest prize off all was the Huskies winning the conference title by a thousand point margin.  The Men's A Criterium. Photo by Eric Foss.
