Wow, things have been pretty sleepy over here on the ECCC Blogosphere,
but thanks to the fine folks in Hanover, NH we have a reason to update the site.

Why, because Dartmouth College Cycling has a new blog! Hooray! So, check out the Dartmouth Cycling News!

While we were here we decided it was time for a new poll and to add the Rutgers countdown to the site, so yipee!

Get ready ECCC, road season is just around the corner!

ECCC News Network!

Hey All,

As Mr. Ian C. Sullivan has previously mentioned, the ECCC was trying to start a news network in the spirit ofcyclingdirt.org/cyclingnews.com to inform the people on all the exciting things that are happening each week during our fantastic spring campaign.

But wait, there's more! The site is not only home to race reports, and omnium updates, but is also featuring a few team previews and other fantastic features like the revived "Ask-A-Pro" series.

So, prepare your minds for the awesomeness of the ECCC News Network and steer your browsers towards:http://ECCCNews.wordpress.com/

Lastly, the ECCC News Network needs your help, so if you'd like to contribute e-mail us at ECCC.NewsNetwork@gmail.com
