Coal Creek Trail gets Erie extension

News Item: 

Having worked in the Louisville area a year ago I know the gem the Coal Creek Trail system has. This trail allows you to ride from from Lafayette to Hwy 93/Dowdy Draw on trail and now they are going to extend it into Erie. Fantastic place to ride in the winter months... trail is mostly empty. David and I did this more times than I can count last year.

Earlier this spring I had heard about a cool cycling event in Utah. I didnt know alot about the event until recently when promoter Burke Swindlehurst sent us and email. We asked him a few questions about the event.

[303Cycling] Can you tell our readers a little about yourself?
[Burke] I raced professionally on the road both domestically and internationally for 13 years with teams such as Saturn, Navigators, Toyota/United and Bissell as well as racing professionally on the Mt. Bike for Moots and Monavie/Cannondale. After retiring from professional racing last year, I took a position as a Director Sportif for Team Bissell. I have also worked with the Tour of Utah for going on 7 years as a course designer and team liaison. 

[303Cycling] Can you tell us a little about the event you are putting on (i.e. distance, how did you get the idea, etc)?
