About Us

The Vandal Cycling Club is made up of collegiate cyclists that enjoy riding at all levels. Some club members are recreational riders that are looking for someone else to ride with while others are racers that compete in regional and collegiate road races. The club is a United States Cycling Federation (USCF) sanctioned collegiate club and competes against other schools in the Northwest Collegiate Cycling Conference (NWCCC).

For more information about the club, please contact our president Adam Cadez-Schmidt

Membership

Students can join the club at any time during the school year and membership is renewed annually. Joining the club is as easy as filling out the required application from Student Organizations and paying club dues. Being a member of Vandal Cycling has benefits beyond the comeraderie of riding with others.

The club offers two types of membership, General membership and Race membership. The details of each type are outlined below. Students should not feel obligated to be a racing member of the club. The purpose of the club is to provide an opportunity for students that enjoy cycling to ride together and to help promote the sport of cycling. The Race membership is offered for students that enjoy racing and provides a means for them to compete at the collegiate level and represent the University of Idaho.
