Darell C. Provencher

River City Bicycles and Team Rose City are proud to be hosting the third
annual Eric Kautsky Memorial Track Race on May 3, 2008.

Eric was a Team Rose City team mate that lost his life tragically on
Saturday, June 18, 2005, while out on an early morning training ride on
Tualatin-Sherwood Road. The accused 19-yr old motorist was found guilty and
sentenced to 17 months in prison for negligent homicide.

Team Rose City will honor Eric at the May 3rd track race by giving our net
proceeds to the Eric Kautzky Memorial Scholarship Fund at Tigard High
School. Eric was a science teacher and a well-known athletic trainer at
Tigard High School for 24 years.

Thanks to our community of track racers we have donated $5300 to Eric's
scholarship fund over the past 2 years. So far the fund has issued
scholarships to five deserving high school seniors who are planning careers
in exercise science or physical education.

And yes, the Kiddie Kilo and Splinter will also be back!
