Rams Cycling Team takes 4th in the nation at the 2006 NCAA Mountain Bike Championships

I am proud of our riders who went to the NCAA Mountain Bike Championship. We had a number of suturing performances. The team ended the weekend as the 4^th place mountain bike team in the nation. The men's and women's teams in both the gravity and endurance races had top ten finishes and one podium finish. We had an amazing time and have a camaraderie and team unity that defines the cycling program at Colorado State University.

We have great riders here and a riding community that is based on hard work and commitment to the team and to our teammates. The team showed great support to each other in both successes and difficulties this past weekend in Angel Fire, NM. This camaraderie is what is bringing us success now and will bring us more in the future.

I want to thank everyone that is involved with this program, from the sponsors and CSU Sport Clubs to all the club members. Most of all I want to thank all of the riders who train so hard and are brave enough to compete. Your courage is inspiring.

Thank you all,

AC
