Also a huge Thanks to Black Rock Bicycles for lining up the Titus folks and providing a free tailgate BBQ for all the racers! Not to mention the cruiser bike they donated to the raffle which was won by Shawn O’Meara. It seemed like almost everyone went home with something! …”

Eric Opperman broke his collarbone in three places Saturday in a crash at downhill practice for the Peavine Challenge. They operated on him at Renown and put in 7 screws to hold it in place.  He is out of the hospital and recuperating at home if you want to give him a call. Get well soon Eric!
