Winter term 1 was a whirlwind of activity for the UBC TSC Cycling Team. We ran weekly Saturday training rides, rostered 20 athletes and even ventured into the world of fundraising with our successful Krispy Kreme sale. We wanted to thank all of those who supported us by buying donuts, without your generous support the cost of racing in the Northwest Collegiate Cycling Conference would be a barrier for many prospective athletes.

This semester we are looking forward to continuing our weekly indoor spin sessions at Method Cycling. We are very grateful for this partnership as riding in the cold rainy Vancouver winter isn’t always ideal! We are also very excited to distribute our new team kit for this year, it looks awesome and it’s exciting to see everyone start to look like part of a team. We will be finalizing our roster within the next few weeks, and are excited to maintain our reputation as one of the teams with the most women within our conference.
