Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference

Transcription

>> (Music) >> [IAN GIELAR]: It's sort of like in between mountain biking and road biking. So, it's like road bikes off-road and it's on a course about a mile in length and the races go between 30 and 60 minutes. >> [CHRIS HARTMANN]: Practices we do a mix of just endurance training and then we'll do some speed training where we'll do a couple of fast laps then take a break for a short amount of time. Then, we'll keep doing fast laps to get our speed up and more of an endurance run. The courses we do, we have a grass loop that we do and it handles a lot of different techniques for turning as well as the terrain. Grass rides differently than mud or dirt. The second half of practice, we generally go into the woods. There's a loop that we set up out there and do more technique with turning and more about just finding your own confidence in your bike. >> [IAN GIELAR]: There's seven race weekends that we're going to be in this season and it's through the ECCC, so it's collegiate racing. We have, there's three categories: A, B and C. This year we have one male rider that's in A and one female that's in A. And right now we're in second place overall in the conference.
