About HUCA
We are the fastest students
at Harvard and have been since 1890!
has coached the Harvard cycling team since 1980, and he still wears the same wool jersey he did back then! He is a longtime champion who has been a three-time Olympian ('64, '68, '72) and has ridden in five world championships. His accomplishments, among numerous others, have earned him induction into the Cycling Hall of Fame. He is also the co-founder of Wheelworks (http://www.wheelworks.com) one of our sponsors. He has taught us everything about proper positioning, cornering and hill climbing, and why not to eat ice cream. We all aspire to pedal as fast as he can (he pedals faster than his cadence monitor can record!). Mark Bowen Mark started riding bikes in 1962 and hasn't stopped pedaling since. Tinkering with bikes handed down from his older brothers and building others from the local dump led him to become an engineer. He did some racing in the later 70's, but mostly was a commuter until he started riding with HUCA about 5 years ago. His main interest in coaching is helping people get started in cycling, and the annual Fall skills weeks are the high point of his season. During the USCF season, Mark rides with NEBC, and does most of his racing on the track. He is also involved with organizing the Beanpot each year, and is a USCF Official. Jamie Wong Jamie started road cycling after meeting Amy Kerdok, the then '03 poobah, at the Grad student registration. He didn't start riding with the team until November of that year after getting a bike and warm clothes. He quickly found that his athletic talents off the bike from other sports were very out of place save for one exception--racing for townlines. However, that only generated frustration in races and training. His "sprinting" potential never came to fruition until the '06 season during the Men's C criterium at Easterns. Jamie and Keith Hemmert collaborated with a two-man attack with a lap and a half to go to bring home a victory for HUCA. Since then, Jamie has reached the finish line for his graduate career and has moved up into the coaching ranks to give back to sport which has helped him survive his graduate school years. He looks forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals for the coming season and year!
HUCA
is an entirely student-run organization. It's pretty amazing what
a bunch of Harvard students can accomplish (on bikes!)
Everyone on the
team helps out in some way, whether it’s creating Cycling Film
Festivals or organizing transportation for the Racing Season.
