SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. (BRAIN) — Interbike said Thursday that Utah is no longer in consideration as a potential show venue in 2018 or beyond.

Officials from Emerald Expositions, parent company to Interbike and Outdoor Retailer, met via teleconference with Utah Gov. Gary Herbert on Thursday and determined that in light of the outcome of the call and the ongoing debate over the issue of public land use, Interbike will not include the state of Utah in the RFP process for future show locations.

"We will continue with the RFP process in the other locations that we've been in contact with for Interbike," said Pat Hus, vice president of Interbike. "Other than removing Utah from the process, nothing has changed from our standpoint. Interbike is committed to finding the best location for the cycling community, and we hope to have a more definitive direction in approximately 60 days."

Let's see now...

I HAVE heard of Utah. I have NOT heard of Interbike until this posting.

Score: Utah up by 1 at the end of the 1st quarter.

They were just taken out of consideration.
