We Lost a Good One


As many of you may have heard, Matt Bradley died Tuesday in an accident at his home.
Matt was one of the original founders of the Skullcandy cycling team and a great advocate of the sport. He will be sorely missed within our club and within the cycling community.
Here are a few news articles about Matt

This weeked at the RMR crit 1 lap of each race will be one legged to remember Matt. Stay tuned to the Crit series website for updates as things may change.

Due to this unfortunate event, some of those planning to head down to St. George for the Spring training events may not be going. However, it sounds like there will still be a group heading down for the rides as planned, so if you are planning to go, please do so. Alternatively, there is a group that will be organizing a modified training camp to be held here locally in the Salt Lake area. There will be rides on both Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th of march. We are trying to get those plans made quickly and will have them available by this evening.

Also, I know we have made commitments to some of you regarding club related issues such as kit orders and access to previous versions of Skullcandy kits. We will still honor those requests, but may need some additional time to do so. Thank you for your understanding.

Spring Training Camp

The Skullcandy Spring Team Training Camp will be March 22-25.

The tentative plan is as follows:
Thursday March 22nd - Travel to St. George and short ride in the afternoon/evening.

Friday March 23rd - 100 Mile Loop. We usually climb Utah Mountain on the way to Mesquite and then we climb the back side which is a monster. Don't be discuouraged, this is base miles not racing.

Saturday March 24th - 100 Mile Loop. Head towards Zion's and back (various routes avaliable).

Sunday March 25th - Some will stick around for a shorter ride in the morning and then head home in the afternoon.

Come out and ride with the club and get to know some of the people!!
