Game Day has partnered with the Office of Sustainability to bring three human-powered pedal cabs to campus. All proceeds from the service go toward the operator’s student club. Look for the green and blue pedal cabs making their way around campus throughout the 2011 football weekends!
ND Riders Jenn Perricone, Brian Boyle, Matt Prygoski, and Joe Magro will be racing in the 2011 Collegiate Road National Championships this weekend in Madison, WI.
“Wondering who to watch for at the 2011 USA Cycling Collegiate Road National Championships? We’ve asked the experts, the Collegiate Conference Directors, to give us their picks for each category, based on what they’ve seen week in and week out during the regular racing season, which started all the way back in February and just wrapped up this past weekend. Here’s what they had to say…”read the full article here , with mentions of ND riders, courtesy of USA Cycling.
With the ND Collegiate Cycling Classic less than a week away, Fighting Irish cycling has been featured in a number of news publications.

A major breakthrough in Niemann-Pick Type C research was reported today by ND and Cornell scientists! Read about their work here
ND Cycling is proud to announce a partnership with the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation for our upcoming criterium on March 27th. This is the same cause that Dean Crawford of the College of Science rode for in his Desert to Dome trip last summer. The Foundation is dedicated to developing a way to treat Niemann-Pick Type C Disease. NPC is a genetic, neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressive deterioration of the nervous system in children. There is no effective treatment for NPC. You
can learn more about the Foundation and NPC on the Parseghian’s website.
We hope not only to raise funds for NPC research, but also to increase awareness about this tragic disease. Each Notre Dame Cyclist will be collecting sponsors in the weeks leading up to the event and we hope to make a meaningful contribution to the Parseghian Foundation as a team.
Sunday morning (March 27th) our criterium will take place in downtown South Bend. At this highly public location, we’re planning to erect a display with information about both the Foundation and NPC research. We’re hopeful riders from other schools as well as spectators will take the time to learn about NPC. The Parseghian Foundation is supplying a banner which will hang across the start/finish line and Dean Crawford will say a few words before the Men’s race.
If you would like to join the fight for a cure and sponsor a ND rider, please e-mail bike@nd.edu for more information. Every dollar is meaningful.

Ride The Divide, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the world’s toughest mountain bike race, will continue its Midwest mid-winter tour when it stops in South Bend on Sunday, January 30, at Notre Dame’s Eck Visitor’s Center. The film chronicles the story of several mountain bikers who attempt the 2,711-mile race named the Tour Divide along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The movie was named the Best Adventure Film at the 2010 Vail Film festival. Ride The Divide embraces the inspiring stories of three of the racers who experience he immense mountain beauty and small-town culture as they attempt to pedal from Banff, Canada, to a small, dusty crossing on the Mexican border. There’s Mike, a 40-year-old family man who uses this challenge to chart a new course in life; Matthew, a leader in extreme endurance racing who’s competing for his fifth time; and Mary, the ?rst female rider to race this route. As they set out, they will attempt to accomplish what very few have been able to. Over the course of a few weeks, they’ll attempt to climb over 200,000 vertical feet along the backbone of the Rocky Mountains.
Ride The Divide will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Eck Visitor’s Center, located near the main entrance to Notre Dame University. Tickets are $15 at the door, and $10 in advance at www.IMAthlete.com/Events/RideTheDividemovie. The event is sponsored by the Spin Zone bike shop of South Bend and is a benefit for the Northern Indiana Mountain Bike Association.
Noted for a, “very original kit that pays respectful homage to the historical legacy of the school all the while still remaining classy.” Notre Dame recently took 2nd place in the USA Cycling King of Style Collegiate Jersey contest. Read more here
