Hey Everyone,
Our first Mac Court Clean up is this Thursday January 21st at 9:30 pm. If you are on the team this is mandatory unless you talk to me.
I will have the jackets for everyone there to pick up. If you are not on the team but want to help feel free to stop by and lend a hand.
Please meet in the main lobby (right inside the doors) a little before 9:30 so we can start on time. It should take a couple of hours. See you there.

Hey Everyone,
There is a mandatory team meeting scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday January 7th at 6 pm in Essllinger 107.
Several things we will cover at this meeting are:
1) Boy Scouts of America Insurance: We get really cheap insurance for any team function. It is helpful incase of crashes or other injuries that happen while with the team. I suggest that everyone get it and always be with some one from the team (as long as there are two people from the team in a location, it is a team function). You will need to fill out a form I provide and pay $13.
2) Pactimo orders: I need everyone to place their orders for Pactimo (our team kit).
3) Nike Jacket Sizing: We need to figure out what distribution of sizes we want for the Jackets.
4) Collect $: Please bring checks or cash for stuff you owe (dues, t-shirts, showerspass, nike, pactimo, etc.)
If you can’t make it let me know and we can figure out another time to meet.

A huge group of people attended the seminar on training. Now that these people understand the basics of training the next step is to focus your training toward a specific fitness goal.
The focus of our next seminar will be on setting goals and implementing strategies that increase the likelihood of achieving your goals. Goals and motivation are not only important for success in sports, but also academics and everyday life.
Located In Mackenzie Hall in Room 240B. Starting at 6 o’clock PM on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Hey everybody!
The U of O cycling team will be meeting at Life Cycle Bike Shop at 10 o’clock AM sharp on saturday, October 10th for the first official team ride!
The ride is non-competitive, will be somewhere between 15-25 miles, and will pedal along at a very easy pace. Anyone is welcome as this is a great opportunity to get introduced to the sport of cycling!
If you are feeling a little more competitive a ride will be going out at 8:30 at Life Cycle (See link above) to do a faster paced ride before meeting up with the 10 o’clock group.
Be sure to bring plenty of warm clothing, water (very important!), and food (clif bars, a PB&J sandwich, bannanas, even a snickers bar can be empowering fuel on a bike ride).
We go rain or shine, and always have a good time. Hope to see you there!
Also, please note that helmets are required.
