Team Core Workouts will be starting next week, Monday Oct 19th. They involve a small amount of running, plyometrics, core work, and strengthening. They’ll start out fairly easy and become harder as you get stronger.
They will be held twice a week at the Student Rec center on:Mondays at 6:30 PM and Fridays at 8:00 AM.
We will meet in the Student Rec Center lobby by the front desk. Wear workout cloths, running shoes, and bring a water bottle. They usually last around an hour and a half. If you have any questions let me know. See you all there,

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.

The UO team has been pretty quiet since the season ended in April. Most of us are doing OBRA races with other teams, or taking some time off. I’ve been very behind on processing photos from the collegiate season, so I thought it’d be worth sharing some now. These are from April 11th and 12th, at the Central Washington Omnium. You can click on either image to get to the full gallery.
