The U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame held its annual induction ceremony and dinner at UC ����ԭ�� for the first time last year — and a few months later, in April 2009, the hall of fame decided to pack up in Somerville, N.J., and move to ����ԭ�� for good.

Now it is time for the 2009 induction ceremony, and it will take place at UC ����ԭ�� again, on Nov. 7 in Freeborn Hall.

And, like last year, Transportation and Parking Services is holding a drawing for free tickets to the dinner. All TAPS customers — anyone who has purchased a parking permit or a bicycle license, or anyone who belongs to the goClub —are invited to enter. All you need to do is send an e-mail with “Prize Drawing” in the subject line, to Mary Maffly at TAPS: mlmaffly@ucdavis.edu, by noon Oct. 27.

The dinner is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $120 per person, available online: .

The 2009 inductees are: Richard Cortright, Olympic competitor in 1952, 1956 and 1960; Phyllis Harmon, cycling contributor; Clayton John, BMX organizer; and Nelson Vails, the first African American to medal in bicycling in the Olympics.

Organizers said the keynote speaker will be Connie Carpenter-Phinney, who was inducted into the hall of fame in 1990. She won 12 U.S. cycling championships, more than any other woman or man; four medals at the cycling world championships in both pursuit and road race; and a gold medal in the first Olympics road race, at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.
