upcoming races!

First road race of the season this saturday, April 4. A race not to miss (just don't ride that new carbon frame you sprung your kid's first year college tuition for). Info and registration here:



Depending on the weather, we'll be meeting at 7:10 am at revolution to ride out (if it's dry. if it's wet and miserable we'll just drive).

First stage race of the year the following weekend (april 11-12). Yea, we know it's easter weekend. just hide the eggs real good to keep the kids busy til you finish racing:


And the classic East Canyon road Race on April 25th. This is a great race that sells out every year, so register early. To register you must stop by Canyon Bicycles in Olympus Hills Mall (3969 S. Wasatch Blvd.) or print out and mail in the registration form from the website:

There is no online registration or day of registration for this East Canyon RR. You must register by April 18, so get that race registration and check in the mail.

Great to see a bunch of you this week at the crits. Remember, starting this week the RMR crit moves to tuesday nights and the DMV crits will start next week on wednesday nights (April 8). Check the Utah Crit Series website for more info.

T-shirts sizes and a few more pics

The kits are being sewn now, so we should have them and the rest of the swag by the end of the month. If you wear a different T-shirt size than jersey size, email us and let us know, otherwise we'll order you the same size T-shirt as the jersey you ordered.

And a few more pics from St. G. from John Peebler. Thanks John.

Thanks Megan and Jenn!

Nice to ride with everyone who came down to St. George. We had great, sunny, dry weather (despite a bit of wind on saturday), and got some good miles in. Thanks especially to Megan and Jenn for putting together the BBQ saturday night and feeding so many hungry cyclists (and a bunch of their kids).

Congrats as well to all the guys who did well at the Red Rock Rampage. I haven't seen the results yet, but heard good things.



Now that race season is started we'll be riding out to RMR on saturdays to race for the next few weeks. A/B flight is at noon, C/D flight is at 12:50. If you haven't raced, this is a great way to start and get some experience. If you plan on racing (even just the crits), you will need to buy a USAC license (https://www.usacycling.org). You can buy a one-day license if you are racing in the C or D flight, but if you plan on racing much at all in terms of crits or road races, it's worth it to buy the license. At this point, you should also print the "permission to ride" form when you renew/buy your license since the license probably won't come in the mail in time. Also remember to select "Skull Candy/JSA architect" as your team and email us your license no. (skullcandyracing@gmail.com)

Of course, we hope to continue saturday club rides as well if you want to ride, but don't necessarily want to race. If you are interested in helping coordinate these, please let us know.

And finally, we will also be organizing some ladies' rides, so watch for those as well.

Spring Training in St. George, Mar. 5-8

Get some spring miles in and enjoy the warm weather and a change in scenery. The current weather forecast for SLC for this weekend is snow and rain, but the St. George forecast calls for temps in the 60s and mostly sunny (except for a little rain on saturday). What better excuse do you need to load up and head south?

Some people will be heading down early thursday to get in a short ride thursday afternoon, and others will be heading down thursday afternoon. The basic plan is to ride to Mesquite by way of old highway 91 on friday (11o miles or so with a good climb both directions), then ride from St. George to the Zion park entrance on saturday (another 100 miles or so, mostly flat with rollers), though some people are taking down mountain bikes to do the opening race of the Intermountain Cup MTB series (http://www.intermountaincup.com/race/) on saturday as well.
On sunday some of us will get out for a shorter ride like the Gunlock loop (40 miles or so with a couple short, steep climbs).

Of course, if you dont' want to ride those distances, or if you can't come down until friday or saturday, don't let that stop you. There are plenty of riding options regardless of how far or how fast you want to ride.

We're trying to coordinate meeting times and places so, please email if you plan on heading down so we can let you know the details. (skullcandyracing@gmail.com)
