About this Event
Tom Trauger, former CFO of Sports Basement died last year while riding an annual century in Nevada with 20 friends when an impaired driver in a box truck struck and killed 5 of the cyclists and injured 3 others. Tom was a loving husband, a caring father and a world-class triathlete.
Escape from Alcatraz was one of Tom Trauger's favorite races and race weekend just so happens to fall on his birthday, so join us for a shakeout ride in celebration of and memory of Tom.

Tom was devoted to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), so this ride will be in collaboration with them, read more about their organization and how you can best support below.
