Daily Pioneer: UW-Platteville Cycling Club wins Cycling King of Style Collegiate Jersey Design contest

2011-02-12T15:30:00.007-06:00

PLATTEVILLE – The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Cycling Club recently earned the Cycling King of Style Collegiate Jersey Design award given by the USA Cycling organization to the college that creates the most unique and visually appealing jersey for its team.

Max Anderson, UW-Platteville Cycling Club president and mechanical engineering major from Waukesha, and Tony Damhoff, a mechanical engineering major from Morrison, Ill., created the jersey based off of Anderson’s design concept. Damhoff created the graphics and sent them to Champ Systems, a company that generates a proof to create the jersey. The design is an orange and white plaid with jean style shorts. Anderson and Damhoff said they created the jersey because it fits with the pioneer theme, but they also like western-cut clothing. They also felt that creating this unique design would help the team stand out in races.

Ted King, the self-proclaimed King of Style and professional cyclist, critiques the jerseys entered into the contest and places the top three on the USA Cycling website.

“These fleeting four years are the unique time for shorn-legged collegiate cyclists to embrace their baccalaurean antics, maintain a steady (albeit skewed) balancing act between athletics and academia, and still have an amazing time in the process,” King wrote on the website. “The winning kit embodied these principles to a degree unreached by the other institutes of higher learning. This school embraced their mascot and rode away with it, which was an oft’ overlooked practice in this competition. Plus they used denim. And plaid.”

With many of the participants coming from some of the largest schools in the nation, Anderson feels that this award has an added importance. “Even underdogs can succeed,” he said.

The cycling team received a jersey signed by King in addition to the recognition of designing the best jersey. “This means a lot to us because every other school in the nation will be looking at UW-Platteville,” said Damhoff.

SNOW DAY!!

2011-02-04T13:23:00.018-06:00

What does the cycling club do on their day off from school? Ride their bikes of course

This is what we had to deal with heading out of town

Most of the "ride" was spent hiking through snow,
sometimes only a few inches, other times up to 4 feet

A rare stretch of pavement. The guy in the house in
the background warned of 5 foot drifts ahead

One of those drifts has Cory buried up to his waist

The solution? Tunnel yourself out

Once Cory dug himself out, we decided it was time
for a break

Time to relax

We Made It! You can't tell in this picture, but
beneath that snow is the world's largest M

Proof

At the top!

Time for a breather, that was hard work. Now
time to go back!

Kind of a Big Deal

2007-09-20T09:03:00.000-05:00

Well we had one of the largest turnouts for the road ride last night. I don't want to give an exact number...but in all honesty I can't count that high. So, lets keep it up and I want to see more out there.

Decorah TT

2007-05-02T17:18:00.000-05:00

This past Sunday Max, Joe, and I headed to Decorah, Iowa for the annual Decorah Time Trials. The race consisted of a 9 mile loop of technical singletrack with 2000 some feet of climbing. The trails were in great condition with some sweet log crossings and scary fast downhills. Max set out with a mission and set the fastest time of our crew, finishing 3rd in the 19-23 age category and 7th overall despite his obligatory 3 crashes. On a sadder note, I discovered a crack in the seat tube/bottom bracket weld on my trusty 2002 Trek 6700 singletrack slayer just before the start of the race. So naturally I gave her one more good flogging at the race before I have to put her down. Rest in peace.

Thanks For Coming Out

2007-04-25T00:06:00.000-05:00

I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who came out and raced this weekend. I hope everyone had a good time. People like you guys are why putting on a race can be so enjoyable and you guys are why this is the second year we put on this event. We also raised some money for the UWP cycling club which helps us maintain the trails and do things that the state budget crunch wont let us do normally.
Also I would like to remind everyone about the sweet picture CDs that Mark Hirsch is put together over the weekend. Mark is a pro photographer and it shows. If you want the feeling you had while ridding the trials to continue Marks photos are one way to continue that feeling. Every time I look at them it brings back the race feeling. They are artistic and creative and not your run of the mill race shots. If you would like to purchase a weekends worth of pics for 10 dollars you can contact Mark through his website at http://www.markhirschphoto.com/ bellow are a few shots he quickly sent me for examples.

Thanks for coming out

Time Trial This Weekend!!!

2007-04-16T21:20:00.000-05:00

Well updating this blog seemed to have taken a back seat to simply organizing and putting on a quality event. This years time trial is sure to be as much of a hit as last years. Some of the major events that have happened in regards to the TT include:

-We will have a shuttle for the dh this year it wont go all the way to the bottom but it will get close.
-We will have a pro photographer onsite pending a huge news story.
-A whole dvd of photos from the entire weekend will be available for only 10 dollars.
-Red bull should be on site again with some red bull.
-We have tons of prizes on the way again so almost everyone should get some sort of prize.
-New course features which include:
----Super cool birms on the xc
----Big double on dh
----Log bridge over big double on xc
----Log gap double on dh
----2 more sm doubles on dh
----New and improved birms on dh

Bellow are some pics from the trials that were taken this last weekend. As you can see everything is dry and in super good shape. I think times should be faster than last year because the trails are in such great shape.

Race Flyer

2007-02-19T17:52:00.000-06:00

Here is the race flyer. We have had it done for a while but have been a little too busy to post it. It's the last semester for many of us so were busy looking for jobs whatnot. If you have any quesitions about the race feel free to email me at bighitrider777@hotmail.com and i will do my best to answer them. Also please check back here often this will be an open blog for anyone doing stuff with the race so once we start working on the trails getting prizes etc we will be posting it here.
