My mind moves backwards, eleven years, to March 1993, when Bob Truelsen and I launched this publication. I clearly recall setting out in my car in an equally heavy snowstorm to distribute our inaugural issue. It seemed out of place to be delivering a local cycling publication in such a storm with a foot of snow on the streets.  \nWe had our share of naysayers at that time, who suggested such a publication would never last long. Indeed, as I look back, I realize that conventional wisdom would say they were correct. But we were willing to give it a go, and not be deterred by all the reasons why we would not be successful.  \nWe have worked hard. Also,  \nwe have had some unusual circumstances that turned in our favor, and have had some plain old good luck come our way. There are several such instances that, but for their occurrence, cycling utah would have ceased its existence. But I firmly believe these things happen to those who move forward with determination.  \nMy wife was reading an article about Tyler Hamilton. He stated how fortunate he had been, and how many times things just seemed to go his way to bring him to where he is now.  \nContinued on page 7  \nCover Photo: Don’t Try this at home!
