About the team

Who we are

CSM Cycling is the official cycling team of the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. We are a coed club sport that races competitively in races all over the mid-west. Our team consists of about 70 members with around 35 active racers, both men and women, that race in all disciplines of cycling from the beginner to the professional level. Meet the team.

We're always looking to recruit new talent and provide members with the opportunity to compete in both mountain bike and road disciplines. Our continued goal is to qualify for and attend the Collegiate National Championships each season.

New Riders

Interested in joining?

pic Every fall, dozens of new riders join our team, the vast majority having never raced before. Racing at the collegiate level is a fun way of introducing competitive cycling to the average cyclist. The mountain bike season happens in the fall of each school year, while the road season takes place during the spring semester.

If you're interested in joining, come to our orientation meeting that happens at the beginning of each semester and join us on a team ride. If you're joining mid-season, don't worry about it, contact us and we'll get you started! We're always looking for new riders, especially women. While we are a racing team, the atmosphere on our team is low-key, and we're all there to have fun before anything else. Don't worry if you have never raced, most of us started cycling right here at CSM too.

Any CSM student, faculty or alumni can join the team, though you must be a full time student to race. Make sure to join our mailing list and to register for our team forum!
