The Cal Poly Cycling Club, reigning Club Sports Team of the Year award winners, is seeking your support to send our athletes to the Collegiate Road Cycling Nationals!
We are a club sports team at Cal Poly that competes regionally and nationally against other colleges and universities in both mountain biking and road cycling. Last year, the team had many successes at the national level, winning two National Championships in Dual Slalom and Cyclocross, while also taking home five other Nationals podiums. This year, we have already taken another two National podiums in gravel and dual slalom events.
We hope to give our riders the chance to secure more National Championship hardware this year at the Collegiate Road Cycling National Championships in Albuquerque, NM in May. Our riders placed well last year with two top 10s, but we plan to send an even larger squad this year to compete for the team ominum.
National events are costly for our riders to attend, and many riders need our support to compete to the greatest extent possible. Throughout the year, our riders have been diligently balancing their academics whilst training, deserving the opportunity to compete alongside the best in the country. Donations will go directly towards registration costs, travel, and lodging for our riders. This will help lift the financial pressure off our athletes so that they can focus on riding their bikes!
We rely on the generosity of donors like you to help keep the club going. Every little bit helps. The Cal Poly Cycling Club thanks you for any and all support. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions you have regarding the club or extra details about what your donation will be used for.
At the State Championships hosted in Berkeley, two of our riders, Hannah Stackpole and Mattheus Johnson, were both able to defend their U23 District Champion titles for another year. Hannah also won the Pro Criterium. Dylan Pollard won the Men's Collegiate A Criterium and Caiden Hartrich won the Men's Collegiate A Road Race and overall Omnium. All of these riders will be at nationals, so it was awesome to see them on good form this weekend.
