I made this folder for all who have graduated and would like to still be involved with cycling or lost contact with other alumni.
Although there may not be many alumnus discovering this website I would like to provide it as a means for communication.

I graduated Orono (as it was called then!) in 1988 and unfortunately had not yet discovered cycling. Since then I've won both MB and Road races, and can't get enough of it. I hope any interested continue the sport, especially for fun of it.
I would like to purchase a UMaine jersey... are there any avaialble?

Hey Todd I can put you on the reorder list. The jersey price is right about $63 dollars. I need to get about 10 more people so it may be a bit longer.

Hello -
I was one of the original riders to start the University Cycling Team (then club). There were about 10 of us... The Club was started by a guy named Dana (cant remember his last name); he lived in York Village. I believe that was about 1985.
There were several guys and one woman - she was a German Exchange Student who went on to a great Pro Down Hill Career with Schwinn - Elke Brussart (sp?)
Others Alumni Names that I can recall are:
Brent Richardson Barron Richardson Josh Smith Steve Hand Rich Goodnough (sp) Todd Savage (now or recently was Director for a large club in Mass, I think Minuteman) Me (Tom Scontras) - One of the founders of NorEast Cycling
We used to do races in the area: Sugarloaf, and Ellsworth, and Bar Harbor. One year a bunch of us even went to Lehigh for the a series and rode the Velodrome there. Some of the greatest riding ever...enjoy.
So there you have it, a bit of History for Maine Cycling
PS. Would love to order a kit; also, I may have one of the old original jerseys around, will let you know, they were vintage.

I wish I still had first class email, and that there was an easier way to update these websites. I think the club is doing great things since I graduated. I miss it !

Is the cycling club at UMaine still active? I rode 1986 through 1988. I would be interested in ordering a UMaine kit since my old one gave up the ghost about 5 years ago.
Thanks - Jay
