The Official Site of UCSD Cycling Race Club News & Updates

The UCSD Cycling team has been around for quite a few years so far, and it works as a Collegiate Sports Club which competes in the WCCC cycling race. Of course, their main goal is to ensure that all cycling races and categories are a safe and healthy environment for both professionals and amateur riders.

This is why, the team is comprised of both graduate and undergraduate students at the UC San Diego, and while they are part of the team, they also work hard toward learning new cycling races and types, improving their sports routines and overall, getting the sport industry to a better place.

They are a part of numerous cycling races including road races, track cycling races, cyclocross events and of course – mountain cycling rides and tracks.

The thing about enjoying cycling races and rides is that you get to build a whole community around you. And the best way of building friendships is through the great racing and cycling events. For those who enjoy socializing and sharing experiences, eating good food and just hanging out with people they have things in common – we have several events to share. First of all, we have the Rock’em Shock’em Triton Grand Prix event which is absolutely the best race for beginners and learners. With distance of about 1 km, it is perfect for those who are just starting with cycling races. The road is the old Aztec Classic criterium course and it features a zippy little 4 corner office park crit. The whole road is completely flat which makes it the perfect choice for learning.

Another event we are proud of having is The Annual Boulevard Road Race which is another very popular event we are holding. Occasionally, we hold it in February, in the Boulevard, Campo, Live Oak Springs area, of the east county San Diego. It is one of the first cycling races for the Southern California cycling racing season, and it is great for advanced cyclists. It features a challenging 22-mile loop and has rolling hills of almost 1500 ft elevation per lap. Great for those who are looking for a challenge or testing their abilities.

Besides these, we also offer Le Tour de Donuts for those who look socialization besides just plain sports. It is the road-season ender and as a tradition, it includes the UCSD Triathlon team and the Campus Bike & State support. Both otusiders and UCSD students are welcome which makes it a great event for hanging out, as the stages are at the donut shops, and the winner is crowned the Gluttonous Champion.
