A reminder about the "overall" Utah State Championship award. It will be scored omnium-style using results of the upcoming State Time Trial (May 28th), Criterium (June 23rd), and Road Race (June 9th for categories / July 21st for Masters & Juniors). Tie breaker will be the Road Race. Lowest score wins the jersey of Overall Utah State Champion!

Our next race on the calendar is The Antelope Island Classic! Since I am the promoter, I obviously feel that it is the best race on the calendar.
New Mazda SUV wheel cars for each category, good roads with minimal traffic, plenty of port-a-potties, free water bottles, free Johnsonville Bratwurst lunch and for the first time in years (knock on wood) – great weather! It is a good opportunity to have a great time racing your bike.
If you have a racer in your car, you will be asked to pay the minimal toll of $2 to get across the causeway. If there are no racers in your car, you will have to pay the standard Park fee. We cannot get around the $2 charge since the causeway is a toll road and

UCA members, there has been some confusion about how points multipliers are applied to races and the bylaws are somewhat open to interpretation. So for the 2012 season the UCA board has voted that they will be applied as follows. State championship races and stage races will receive 2.0 multipliers, all crits and RR's on the UCA calendar will be deemed "official" and receive 1.5 multipliers, hill climbs and TT's will receive 1.0 multipliers. This will be revisited at our annual meeting and bylaw amendments proposed which clarify the UCA points scoring.

Time Trial times are up for this weekend's race.

Also registration will remain open until 6pm tonight. It's not too late join in the action. Spread the word.

We'll see everyone out there tomorrow!

Weather.com says the snow should stop this afternoon and melt off. That will keep the dust down.
