Rutgers Cycling looks to extend its conference lead on home turf
New Brunswick, NJ - The Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference
(ECCC) leading Rutgers University Cycling Team looks forward to
extending its lead this Sunday, November 12, on home turf at HPCX in
Jamesburg, NJ, round 5 of
the Verge Mid-Atlantic Cyclocross Championship Series.
Cyclocross, a discipline of cycling, originated in the early 1900s as a
way of off-season training for road cyclists. Cyclocross races take the
skills of road racing and test them on short, closed courses consisting
of varying terrain from pavement to grass, sand, and mud. Contested in
the late fall and early winter, the hallmark of cyclocross races is the
dismount where riders face sections of the course that are unridable
and must gracefully dismount, run, and remount their bicycles without
losing momentum. Cyclocross is the fastest growing discipline of
cycling in the US drawing upwards of 500 racers and thousands of
spectators to events.
Sunday's race in Jamesburg, NJ at Thompson Park is part of the Verge
Mid-Atlantic Cyclocross Championship series and the ECCC Cyclocross
series. In addition to the collegiate races, the event will feature
professional, international cycling competition starting at 2 PM. Among
the elite riders confirmed for Sunday is Christopher Horner, top ranked
US cyclist who has competed in the Tour de France and won
stages of the Tour of Romandie.
Rutgers has lead the ECCC Cyclocross Series in its inaugural season
since its opening round at MAC #3 at Beacon in Bridgeton, NJ where the
seven member strong team swept the Men's B category and took the lead
over division I rivals UPenn. Last weekend, ECCC 'cross action moved
north to Chainbiter 8.0 in Farmington, CT, part of the Verge NECCS
series. There, Rutgers fought fierce competition from New England
collegiate cycling powerhouses like UConn, Dartmouth, MIT, Tufts, and
Harvard to win the division I team overall standing. Sunday, brought
the team back to the Mid-Atlantic to race at Nittany Lion 'Cross on the
Lehigh Valley campus of Penn State. Rutgers again brought out a massive
team in what looked like a showdown between perennial collegiate
cycling force Penn State and Rutgers in the collegiate men's category.
UPenn rider Robert Sprague won the day, but Rutgers riders Mark
Vareschi, Charles Florek, and Don Yungher rounded out 2nd through 4th
place to deliver yet another win in the team overall competition.
Going into this weekend, Rutgers has an almost 80 point lead over
division I rivals Harvard University. Sunday's race in Jamesburg, NJ
will pit Rutgers against Ivy league riders from Princeton, Cornell,
UPenn, and Columbia. Buoyed by the hometown advantage, Rutgers is
poised to extend its lead this Sunday in its campaign to win the ECCC
Cyclocross Series.
The Rutgers University Cycling Team is proudly sponsored by Efinger
Sporting Goods, Pacific Health Labs, Inc., Maul Electric, Inc.,
Cycle-Smart: Solutions for Cycling, and Verge Sport.
The ECCC Cyclocross Series is a 10 round series of races run in
conjunction with Verge NECCS and MAC races and select non-series
events. The purpose of the series is to bring team-oriented collegiate
racing to already established cyclocross races in order to support the
future growth of the sport.
Rutgers Extends its Lead in Collegiate ‘Cross Series
Following the success of its undefeated football team, the Rutgers
University Cycling Team extended its conference lead this weekend in the
inaugural season of the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference’s
Cyclocross Series. Saturday’s racing saw the team in action at NECCS
series race Chainbiter 8.0 in Farmington, CT where they took the
Division 1 team overall amid fierce New England competition. Sunday saw
the team in action closer to home at Penn State’s Nittany Lion ‘Cross on
the Lehigh Valley campus of Penn State University. In the collegiate
men’s category, Upenn rider Robert Sprague took the win, but Rutgers
rounded out the top 4 with Mark Vareschi taking 2nd, Charles Florek 3rd,
and Don Yungher 4th to take 1st in the team overall competition.
The ECCC Cyclocross Series continues next weekend with the ECCC Easterns
on the campus of UNH in Durham, NH on Saturday and the HPCX in
Jamesburg, NJ on Sunday.

Hi All,
Just a reminder that the Tour de Rutgers is this Sunday (Oct. 8th). The
RU team will be out in force.
http://recreation.rutgers.edu/tourderutgers/
Remember to pre-reg. It's FREE for students and $5 for everyone else as
long as you pre-reg.
Free t shirt to the first 200 to register.
Reg opens at 8 AM, Ride starts at 9 AM. It's a sloooow ride, so we'll
probably be done around 11. I think most of us are planning on doing a
group ride following.
It starts on Busch campus by the Werblin Center. I'll lead a group over
to Busch from HP Cyclery at 8 AM on Sunday. So we can get all registered
and stuff.

It's come to my attention that there might be an issue with the
newest version of the Rutgers shorts (with the orange/black chamois)
where the pad can come unglued from the chamois.
I found this out because my shorts from my summer team did just that.
There's a simple solution: DO NOT PUT YOUR SHORTS IN THE DRYER. One
whirl around in the dryer after a torrential downpour during the Owasco
Stage race was enough to damage the chamois.
The Apollo chamois (that's the orange one) cannot be machine dried. Let
your shorts air dry on a hanger. You roommates might look at you weird,
but hey, you shave your legs already.
If you have a chamois that has come unglued and you'd like it replaced,
Verge will replace it with the ESP chamois (it's not as plush though).
The catch is, they need to have the shorts by mid-week next week. I'm
going to send out a bunch of shorts on Saturday morning. If you have a
pair that needs a new chamois, get it to me before then.
I'm sorry to have short malfunctions with our gear. This was news to
Verge as well.
