Spring Update

Its been an eventful spring, and the racing has only just begun!  We've had solid results, crashes and many enjoyable miles on the team's brand new Trek Madones.  We've finally started to creep out of the basements and off the trainers and hope for some good weather to finish spring racing.

We had solid performances across the board in St. George at the Tour del Sol.  Save for some chilly weather it was an outstanding event.  Kudos to the promoter at Spingeeks who only took over the event just a few weeks prior to the event.

A stage race consisting of a TT, crit and road race, the Tour del Sol provided an early season test for the team.  Darren Goff proved to be the strongest of the TBS/CFA squad.  He took 5th on GC in the Cat 3's.  Darren's been working hard for his Cat 2 upgrade and is almost there!

Sponsors Jody Harris (Harristone) and Denis Porter (Sun Valley Mortgage) manned up for the always tough Hell of the North.  The Utah version includes dirt roads and unpredictable weather.  The rough conditions took their toll and Denis went down.  Stitches took care of the wound but the nice staph infection afterward was uncalled for!  Denis motored to 9th in the Cat 1/2 division proving his intense winter training is paying off.

Nate Baldwin was in Houston for a half Ironman and we'll have more as we get updates.

This weekend you'll see TBS/CFA racing at the UVU Road Race and Team TT.  We will also be at the Tax Day Circuit Race in Idaho.  The team's coming out party will be the revamped East Canyon Road Race on April 23rd.

See you on the road!
