This week, The Pioneer met with three students who completed long-distance bike rides from their hometowns to Whitman at the start of this academic year. We also talked with a few members of the Whitman cycling team about several of their community service projects.
This past weekend the Whitman cycling team hosted the Missionary Omnium, bringing together teams from across the Pacific Northwest. Organized and run by the same student-athletes that were racing, the event brought in funds to support the growth of Whitman club cycling.
Coming off an 09-10 season that ended in a team national championship, the Whitman cycling team looks to build on that success and work towards a repeat. The Whitman Bike Race, held this past weekend, helped bring the Missionaries one step closer to that goal, as the team moved into second place overall in the team conference standings.
