COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College cycling has signed Zach Dorsey to the squad for the 2010-11 season, the school announced on Wednesday. Dorsey competes in BMX, gravity, cross-country mountain biking and road racing.

Dorsey was the nation's top ranked rider as a novice before moving up to the expert category in 2005.

Dorsey finished second in the Kentucky State Points Series in the single-speed category.

The Louisville, Ky., native participated in the cancer awareness ride from Louisville to Lexington and back this past year, helping raise over $2,500 for charity while completing the 160-mile ride.

Lindsey Wilson cycling coach David Grigsby is excited to work with his new cyclist.

"Zach brings experience and leadership to the squad," said Grigsby. "We are really excited to have him join our fantastic group."
