PCC and UVic Cycling Announce Partnership

Pacific Cycling Centre (PCC) is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the UVic Cycling Club (UCC). This collaboration is designed to expand opportunities for university cyclists at UVic, using the expertise and experience that PCC offers. Houshang Amiri, head coach, PCC, will be coaching the UVic cycling team to help riders prepare for the upcoming cyclocross and road season.

“Pacific Cycling Centre is excited to be partnering with UVic Cycling Club. We share the same values and look forward to providing training and coaching services, and supporting UCC athletes at races,” says Amiri.

To date 22 members have registered with the club which as the first year as a varsity club is a huge step in the right direction for the team.

“This partnership is the foundation for supporting riders at every level. Our goal is to create structured pathways for development — whether you’re training for fun, aiming to improve your fitness, or pursuing competitive cycling. With strong coaching support from PCC and a team-based training culture offered by UCC, every rider has the opportunity to grow,” says Abigail Drews, UVic Cycling, Co-president.

October will see an info session with coach Amiri and an advanced skill session for riders who are ready to push their technical ability further and sharpen their cycling skills.

This partnership between PCC and UCC is just the beginning, and it will be exciting to see how much UCC riders will achieve this season.
