River City Bicycles and Team Rose City are proud to be hosting the 6th
annual Eric Kautzky Memorial Track Race on May 7, 2011. It will also be a
Men’s Pro/1/2 qualifying event for the 2011 Hellyer Testarossa Velodrome
Challenge, July 1-2, 2011 in San Jose, CA. Last year the EK was the largest
single-day track racing event in the Pacific NW, with 103 racers. Come join
us for the first points races and omniums of the track racing season, and
help contribute to Eric's legacy as a science teacher and athletic trainer
at Tigard High School.
Eric was a Team Rose City team mate who lost his life tragically in 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. Eric was 56. Thanks to our community of track
racers we have donated over $10,000 to Eric's scholarship fund over the past
5 years.
