Keep on rollin'

As the Tour of Utah kicks off it brings bike racing to the forefront of the local sports media and cyclists and non-cyclists get a glimpse of big time pro cycling.  While its awesome to have the T of U going on lets not forget how successful this year has been so far for TE. 

Darren and Trent have obviously been kicking butt and taking names.  Darren was 2nd at the Tour of Park City and is currently leading the standings at the Simply Mac Crits.  Trent is the Masters B State Champion after winning the Chalk Creek Road Race.  But we have shown tremendous depth this year too.  Farrell has won most of the TT's up in Logan in his age group.  Aaron Thomas has been on the podium at the Snowbasin Crits.  Jerald sprinted to a best ever 4th place finish at the Bear Lake Classic.  Ben won a prime a few weeks ago at the Simply Mac Crits and Kevan took 2nd in a prime sprint as well. 

There's been some bad luck though.  While contending for the lead at Chalk Creek Road Race, Ben flatted and despite a super, nuclear fast tire change couldn't catch back up.  Trent was involved in a crash at the Tour of Park City but still finshed 21st.  Darren would be a Cat 3 by now but was involved in 2 race ending accidents. 

But through it all, TE is showing class and character.  A big shout out to our awesome sponsors!  They have taken great care of us!

Next up for TE is the Sanpete Classic road race on Aug 28th, LOTOJA on Sept 11th and the Harvest Moon Crit on Sept 25th.  We're the sponsoring club for Harvest Moon so make sure you get out and support this awesome event!
