Rice University Cycling Team Restarts After 10 Year Absence
from the Rice Thresher (full article link)
It often seems like most biking on campus is either in a rush to get to class or is preceded by Beer. But Rice’s long-dormant Cycling Team is starting to put campus peddlers back into competition.
The year-round club, started by Baker College senior J.C. Zapata and Brown College sophomore Jasper Yan this semester, meets several times a week to bike around Houston.
Yan said the team was an effort to revive Rice’s cycling team, which was extremely active about ten years ago and had road races with the University of Texas, Texas A&M and the University of Houston. Although the team has existed since then, it became less active over the years until Yan and Zapata decided to revive it this year.
