Rutgers Countdown, New Blog!

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!

New Blog!

Hey All,

MTB Season 2010 is here and we are giving you a gift by adding a blog.

Jesse Steiner, notably of RIT, is doing a crazy long bike ride to Argentina from Montreal. You should check out his website, The Transcontinentalist. It can also be found in the Alumni Section.

MTB and CX Bloggers Needed! New Poll!

Hey all,

The ECCC Blogosphere is now seeking bloggers for the Upcoming ECCC Mountain Bike and Cyclocross seasons. If you have a blog that you'd like linked to the ECCC Blogosphere or would like to start one shoot us an e-mail or comment below!

Also, we added a new poll in anticipation of ECCC MTB 2009!

Easterns poll and some hopes...

A new poll for the awesome PSU Easterns is up. Vote away.

As the collegiate road season begins to close, I'd like to thank Joe and all the volunteers for helping the ECCC run as smoothly as possible. I'd also like to wish all our teams going to Nationals the best of luck in all of their events.

While the ECCC season is over, many of us have USAC teams and know that with bike racing there is no off season like other sports. I would like to encourage continued blogging throughout the summer by teams and indiiduals; people get bored at their summer jobs too and need good reading material.

Go Be Somebody.

The Lion Cub, a new blog

That's right boys and girls, we've added another blog.

Columbia Cycling: Drafting off a Taxi ... The Columbia Lions are now gracing the Blogosphere with their presence, I guess late is better than never.

We so got you! But we're making up for it.

Howdy.

So, as you can probably tell by now the ECCC Blogosphere shutting down was a hoax. But the commentary was great. Good to know we have the power to make the ECCC cry at will....

In order to calm your nerves and ensure more stability for the future we've added 2 more blogs!

Bicycle! A blog by Jose "Soul Train" Soltren of the MIT Beavers. A little to technical for our tastes, but were letting it slide because he's racing As.

The RIT Cycling and Fine Dining club Developed by a series of smart, sly and stinky engineers from Rochester Tech. Known for their debut season in Under Armour "Performance Apparel" T-shirts. They got real jerseys this year..... Lame.

ECCC Season Begins, New Blog, New Poll

Wow, winter is over, the spring has made an appearance and the carnage has begun. Rutgers/Princeton put on an awesome event last week, and to get your feelings on it we added a new poll.

Also we added a blog.

Mount Holyoke Cycling ....  A blog by the lovely, lavish, loquacious, livid and lively ladies of Mount Holyoke College. Often seen travelling in packs, this pack of amazon warriors races tougher than most. 

Season Approches, Blogs added...

The season is just 4 Days away! And to help you get hyped up we've added more blogs...

BARDcyclingBLOG.... Authored by Brooks of Bard College. What can we say, he races insane bikes, grows ridiculous mustaches, and has invested a small fortune in saddles named after himself.

muddylegs.... An ECCC Alum, Kate S (Williams '07), is living the good live out in the Rockies. Follow the chronicles of the 2008 Colorado State Criterium Champion and 3rd place in the U23 USA Cyclocross Championships. She's also nuts, loud, silly and bizarre.

Life at Latitude 64.8 .... Coming to you from Alaska, by Way of Penn State. Julie M, dictates tales in the great north. Fighting off the cold, the bears and the Sarah Palins!

New Blogs, New Poll.

The Rutgers/Princeton Weekend is drawing near. Just less than a fortnight away.... And we've got a New POLL! Hooray! Also, a new Blog!

Boston College Cycling... The White Clad Warriors from Chestnut Hill crank out a chronicle of cycling related carnage as the church bells chime above their campus.

Goodbye Blue Mondays... This ECCC and Skidmore Alum, diligently details the daily drab of dramatically drafting news reports from his home in Saratoga Springs for The Saratogian, he races occasionally to.

BTW, Check out these Recent Highlights:

Shave and a Haircut

Would you like a slice of Blog with that?

We've added more blogs, can you believe it? I know, it's getting ridiculous!

Bucknell Cycling and Random Thoughts from Academia... A blog by the cornflower blue clad warriors from some where between Philly and Pittsburgh. Much like Floyd Landis these Mennonites race bikes.

Fear and Loathing in Rhode Island... Promised by the author to be "a bit edgy," much is expected from the Man from brown, Graham Anderson, winner of best Facial Hair in the ECCC in 2008.

-Blog Czar.

Even More Blogs

That's right boys and girls, we continue to add blogs! It's almost getting hard to digest all of them while still maintaining your climbing weight.

Velo-Ciraptor Attack- A training, pain and lifestyle blog by one of the scruffiest Boston University Terriers..... Known by some as "that kid with great hair," BRoberts is laying it down old school as he details his ongoing battle with his legs.

Chair's Blog -  An ECCC veteran with a tendency to race beyond his ability and the uncanny ability to lick his own nose in A races. Chris Hair, of Boston U is another terrier to keep an eye on. 

25 Credits Per Semester or Bust!!!- Another Steven's Tech Blog? Where do these yokels come from? You know, apparently it's just an army of Dudes from the Jersey Shore that do nothing but train, blog and learn.... Maybe they'll find enough time to put on an awesome race. 

Racing on no sleep- Tales of an ECCC face smasher AJ Moran of WIT. A man with the uncanny ability to ride the goofiest bike ever, a full dura-ace nine speed with a triple ring, Zipp 404's and a skinny tubed Steel Salsa. He's also an insomniac, architect and narcissist.....

The Blogs Keep on Coming...

Much like a kid on anabolic steroids the ECCC Blogosphere continues to grow with several new individual blogs. Experts say that soon, the Blogosphere will invade expand from your Laptop to you blackberry and ipod.......

Another Beautiful Day in Paradise...  The twisted views of the man who runs one of the largest teams in the ECCC, a group known to be found in large piles of riders, cuddling together for warmth and travelling around the northeast in large green vans like a cult.... UVM.  

Fast with Poor Grades or Slow with All A's...  The detailed training log of a hopeful champion, as he battles the life of a grad student at some second rate school in Cambridge Mass. I think they let the kids play with LEGO's there. 

Lindsey Jean Bishop and Out of the Saddle with Armstrong... Tales of two ECCC alumni who did the stupidest thing ever... graduate. They manage to keep racing, apparently there's racing other than the ECCC, who knew?

ECCC Blog Roll Comes to Existence!

Arising from a dark layer in the depths of the ECCC basement the Blogosphere has come to be! Some say that the blogosphere has a mind of it's own and can only be seen by students.
