2010-04-26T19:32:00.002-05:00

The Tour of St louis was this past weekend and went well for honorary member/future cycling star Josh Johnson. He represented the team by winning Stage 1 and 2 of the junior race. As well as placing 3rd in Stage 3. Despite being sick, Kellan True attempted to race but couldn't complete the final crit and dropped out about 30 minutes into the race.

JC does it up

Depauw

2010-03-15T12:43:00.002-05:00

Well it was another good showing for Semo Cycling on the collegiate circuit. The team was small in numbers at Depauw but rode hard on Saturday Road Race and Team Time Trial. Josh Cox and Jeremiah Ostlund stayed at the front of the pack in the cat D field and were set up perfectly until a crash happened a few miles from the finish. They finished mid pack.
Later in the day they kitted back up and entered into the Team Time Trial and finished 5th.

2010 SEASON UNDERWAY, Good Results So Far

2010-03-01T12:55:00.007-06:00

The 2010 road season has commenced and the SEMO team has something to show for it already. A crew of five team members raced in Murray Kentucky in the first race weekend of the collegiate season. The road race on Saturday turned a 9th place finish for newcomer Josh Cox in the Mens D race as well as another new rider, Jeremy, finishing with the pack. Former president Adam Gohn finished with the pack of Mens C riders, and on Sunday Adam raced a fast criterium into 11th place. Current Club President, Kellan True, went to Froes Toes Road Race in Columbia, MO, and placed 10th in the category 3 race. Next up is the Depauw weekend in Indiana on March 13 and 14.

We will also have some riders competing at Froze Toes in Columbia, MO. Everyone is chomping at the roads, ready to begin what should be a great season for us. Hopefully the rubber stays down and it leads us to lots of podiums.

More work coming

Training Camp 2010

2010-01-19T01:31:00.008-06:00

This past Sunday we wrapped up our first official team training camp in St. Genevieve Missouri. We arrived at the hotel on friday evening and went out for a short spin before going to grab some grub. Saturday Morning consisted of readying bikes and gear for a day of chilly riding along the roads of the Missouri State Road Race course. I wasn't feeling quite up to par so I drove sag in Kellan's car and snapped some pics and brought along some backup gear and replenishments in the car. Once we finished up almost 4 hours of riding we cleaned up and just relaxed a little. Next up we had a meeting at the hotel to go over some more in depth thoughts on the upcoming season with some of the newer guys on the team. It went well and I think we're going to have a lot to look forward to this season with the new guys on the SEMO Cycling Team. Dinner Saturday night provided some hearty Mexican replenishment's at the El Indio in St. Genevieve. Sunday the team drove over to the KOM climb for the 2nd stage of the 2009 ToM route. We met up with team sponser John Dodd from Cyclewerx and one of his new riders Codly. With the climb lasting approximately 4 miles the idea here was to instill the idea of climbing in the subconcious and make it more of a comfortable thing with practice. Most guys did the climb a few times before cruising around at the top of the climb to spin the legs out before heading out and concluding a great training camp all before class starts!... Good Job to the team last weekend and we hope to have a great season this spring!

CROSS IS BOSS

2009-09-22T22:01:00.003-05:00

So the cyclocross season has begun. It started last week with Bearcat cross in Hermann, MO. Casey and Kellan went and did the best they could. It was a difficult weekend racing with both of them a little under the weather. Kellan placed 10th in the cat 4 cross race with Casey placing 3rd in the cat 3 race.

This past weekend a few of us went and raced the Hermann in The Dark cross race. This was an amazing venue for a race and Jeff the organizer did an amazing job. The racing was good and results were good also. Adam had an ok race finishing 32nd in the cat 4 race which was fairly decent considering he had a few wrecks. Kellan had a bad start and was the last man in the 60 man to run the famous stairs in Hermann. He was able to make up positions but could only get up to 17th. Casey however took home the win in the cat 3 race. Congrats on the early season win.

Whats the deal?

2009-07-07T23:40:00.001-05:00

Where have we been lately and what have we been doing?

It's the middle of the summer so the collegiate cyclocross/mountain bike season is on the horizon. This coming semester we're putting on a sort of demonstration cyclocross race on campus to help show some bike racing to the students at Southeast.

We've been redisinging our jerseys and shorts. and they are about to be ordered for the summer order.

Also Adam Gohn, Kellan True, and Casey Saunders are going to represent SEMO at the local cyclocross race series in and around St. Louis and at the Cyclocross National Championships in December in Oregon.

We're also trying to recruit new members and promote our club at the school.

RACE REPORT #1

2009-03-04T22:50:00.000-06:00

We survived! That was hopefully the worst weather anyone of us will ever have to race in, let alone ride.

Murray
State in KY was supposed to be a warmer race as was the purpose, at least, for having it early in the season and the southern-most race in the conference. Saturday was the road race and it was in the upper 30's, windy and rainy off and on all day. We even got sleet!

Somehow all three of us finished our races as southeast missouri state has officially enter the world of collegiate cycling for the first time in history. Mr. Dave Hearnes stuck it in the D race and finished strong, and our star rookie Josh Morrow finsish a very respectable 9th in the D race! and yours truly hung onto the back of the pack for a fun little bunch sprint in the A race.

Get Ready

2009-02-12T00:52:00.000-06:00

Road season is nigh!
Next Sunday the 22nd will mark the first road race of the season for many of us at Froes Toes in Columbia, MO (http://www.columbiabikeclub.com/forms/2009frozetoes.pdf) and the weekend after that is the first collegiate race in the MWCCC. Our team will be traveling to Murray, KY for a road race on Saturday the 28th and criterium on Sunday, March 1st. We should have a strong showing for a first year team, it will be exciting to test the waters though. Check back for updates about how the races went!

Tunnel Hill Ride

2009-01-11T22:27:00.000-06:00

Today the Semo Cycling Team met up and rode the Tunnel Hill Trail. It was a very cold day on an old railroad bed. We didnt get started as early as we wanted to but we still got in about 7 hours of riding today. It was a great day and a great learning experience for a lot of the team members. Cant wait to do it again and the semester to start again so the other members of the team will be back in the area.

45 Days

2009-01-08T20:12:00.000-06:00

With every day that goes by it means one day closer to the start of the 2009 race season. 45 Days to be exact with Froze Toes in Columbia, MO. It's not the start of the collegiate season which actually should start about a week or so later. The spring semester is also about to start so hopefully we can do some good recruiting and get people interested in the sport of cycling. Never know we could recruit the next Lance Armstrong or the next Casey Saunders.

Winter

2009-01-04T18:04:00.000-06:00

Well the winter has set in and we've been trying to get everything finished up with the team. We are reconized with the school and all the paper work has been sent to USA CYCLING. The first batch of team kits have been delivered to us and they look amazing. We look so Euro in our white kits. I have been riding hard for the past 2 months getting prepared for the 2009 season since I'm going to try and make the jump to cat 2 racer. The winter has been cold and I've been doing a lot of mountain biking in order to stay warm. This coming weekend on January 11th some of the team members will be going to Tunnel Hill trail in order to get a 100 mile ride in. I hope its warm for them.

Cyclocross Races

2008-10-20T22:39:00.000-05:00

Hey folks!

As many of you know cyclocross season is upon us. Some of us are competing with our respective race teams, so if you'd like to get a feel for race atmosphere...we'd be happy to give you a ride.

Additionally, if you'd like to get a taste of bike racing in a laid back atmosphere, cross is for you.

Booster Ride Nov. 1st

2008-10-08T10:32:00.000-05:00

We will be hosting a benefit ride (to benefit us) November 1st which is a Saturday.

It will be a 20 mile loop first and then if people would like to join, we'll be doing another 30 right after.

We'll start at the Osage Center parking lot, just north of Cyclewerx on Kingshighway at 9 a.m.

We're asking riders to donate $15 to raise a little money. (team members won't pay)

We're thinking about driving a sag car with either Kellan or I in it with a bunch of tools.

First team meeting

2008-10-06T23:52:00.000-05:00

We're having our first "official" team meeting this Thursday night at 7:30 at IMO's. It is completely optional. A couple of you met us last thursday. I will say it probably wont be much different then last thursday. We will answer questions you have and just let you know everything that we have accomplished so far in getting this going. Be there at 7:30 pm if your interested.

2008-10-03T21:23:00.000-05:00

I just want to let everyone know that we are getting all the paper work done very quickly and we will race. I hope everyone is as excited as I am. The team I feel will have more riders the first year than what we expected. But that is a good thing as it gives a good base to expand into a strong force in the midwest cycling conference.

SEMO cycling team!

2008-10-02T23:37:00.001-05:00
