A great time was had by all who attended the Team Party at the Pikers house Saturday night. Huge thanks to the Pikers for hosting the party and to Snake River Brewing for the delicious Snake River adult beverages. If you missed the party and submitted a payback request, you can pick it up at Fitzy’s. Dave’s Saurman’s animated crash-by-crash description of his Cream Puff race stands out as a highlight.
Announcement: We are planning a team party for Saturday, July 17th at the home of the Pikers in Jackson. Stay tuned for details.
We have lots of racing coming up including two great races in our backyard…WYDAHO at Grand Targhee on July 3rd and the Jackson downtown crit on July 11th. Speaking of the crit, I have heard through the grapevine that some folks are on the fence about doing the crit. We have some experienced racers on our team and I encourage you to leverage their experience. The next two Thursday night rides will begin with a short “crit practice” to help anyone who has questions or wants to learn a little more about racing/surviving a crit. Last year’s Torch Criterium was my first crit and I had a blast!
Lastly, how cool is the new Game Creek reroute? I can’t believe how fast it was completed and how well it is riding already.

One of the best things about reading race reports from teammates is discovering new races through their adventures. Sure, I love to hear about the glorious suffering but I also like to hear about a race that was organized well, offered a great vibe, and/or is held on a great course. Thanks to Mark Hershberger’s report, I will add the Rabbit Valley Rally to my list for next year.
Speaking of races, can I get a roll call of everyone heading to theBoise 9 to 5endurance mtn bike race on June 12th. Michelle and I are entered and rumors of Bergy, Kyle, Saurman, Mark H, JayP & T-Race, Piker, Nash, and even Hami have been floating around. Shoot me an email if you are racing in Boise.
