University of Oregon Race Report

March 1-2

First race weekend of the 2014 season!
Finally, after many months of preparation, the Whitman Cycling team packed up the trailer and headed off to Eugene for a little bit of fun on bikes.  We made a statement at the opening race letting the other teams know that we are back this year and better than ever.  We had multiple podiums and big smiles from all of our new riders.

Big thank you to the Watkins family for hosting us at their home and evening and for providing dinner for us on Saturday night.  Another big thank you to UO for putting on another fantastic race weekend to open the season. Thank you to Cassie for chaperoning for the team and cheering us on during our races.
