So far, so good

The season has opened on a very positive note for Team Excelerator!  The first 2 races we've entered have seen Darren Goff take second place in each, at Tax Day Circuit Race and East Canyon Road Race.  He'll now be racing with Ben, Kevan, Farrell and Vladimir as Cat 4's.  One of our new racers, Jason Knighton, also managed to finish his first grueling race.  We're proud of him and know he'll keep improving.  East Canyon also saw Ben and Farrell finish in the top 20 as Cat 4's, both putting in solid efforts.  Jerald Olsen continues to improve as well and he'll tackle the Masters B division with Trent Olsen at the Bear Lake Classic coming up on May 15th. 

Trent has had a bit of bad luck however.  He has yet been able to show his awesome strength due to flatting in his first 2 races!  Lets send some positive no flat energy his way for Bear Lake.

Kevan Steed attended the suffer fest that was the Antelope Island classic last weekend.  Last year the weather was wet and rainy the entire time.  This year the weather gods added cold and hail to the mix.  Frozen fingers made it tough for Kevan to even shift but he didn't quit and is a better rider because of it.

Darren will race his first race as a Cat 4 this weekend at the Utah State Crit Champs this weekend in downtown SLC.  The watch for the above racers with Brooke Dominguez and first timer Robert Castro at the Bear Lake Classic on May 15th.

Don't forget to put the Powder Mountain Hillclimb on your calendar for June 12th!
