Hosted by Brown University and RISD, the races took place in Scituate and Charlestown, RI. The weekend started off cold and wet on Saturday with a road race around the Scituate reservoir. The course included a few sections of dirt road and a covered bridge. Conditions deteriorated quickly when it started raining, leaving both our riders and our bikes dirty and wet. Alexander Truitt \u201919 finished strong in 5<sup>th<\/sup> in Men\u2019s D, and Margaret Conley \u201918 battled through to place 8<sup>th<\/sup> in Women\u2019s C. Boyang Zhang placed 44<sup>th<\/sup> in Men\u2019s D after a difficult first lap.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was a major improvement in weather, with sunny skies and relatively warm temperatures. We raced on a course designed for bicycles in Ninigret Park, RI, a flat loop with lots of corners and a good tail wind on one side plus a challenging head wind on the finish stretch. Alexander placed 12<sup>th<\/sup> in the Men\u2019s D criterium in a large group sprint to the finish. Boyang started strong but suffered a flat in the middle of the race, unfortunately putting him out of the running. Margaret placed 4<sup>th<\/sup> in Women\u2019s C, also earning points in a prime lap. This was a great weekend for the Cycling Team, and Alexander placed 4<sup>th<\/sup> in the overall standings for Men\u2019s D. Though our season this spring was shortened by bad weather, we had a great time and we were proud to represent Bowdoin in the ECCC (Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-102\" src=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/files\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3949-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-101\" src=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/files\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_3929-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-103\" src=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/files\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/students.bowdoin.edu\/cycling-club\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2017\/08\/IMG_5864-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our second race of the season, Bowdoin Cycling competed at the Easterns Championship this past weekend, April 22-23.
