Imagine yourself riding on a course that is half a mile, that might include sand, mud, hills, stairs, barriers and even creek crossings. The sound of music blasting and the motivating sounds of cowbells and cheering keeps cyclocross…<\/p>\n

\nLast fall, senior Jenna Emerick started mountain and road cycling because of her twin sister, who cycles at Texas State University.

Until this weekend, Emerick was the only member to compete through the South Central Collegiate Cycling Conference, but competitive membership tripled this past weekend in the University of Texas at Austin Mountain Bike Weekend 2012 at Flat Rock Ranch in…<\/p>\n
