Even in my junior year when I bought a car I quickly found that it was quicker and easier bike to class and park my bike near my classes. When I commuted to work nearby, sometimes the commute was quicker than driv- ing. Now, I commute over ten miles to the down town area. When people want to start com- muting, I would tell them first to analyze their needs and then work out how to accommodate them. For example, will your commute require you to shower? If so, do I have a bag or do I need invest in panniers? Will my bike accommodate panniers? What is the best route to commute on and what is traffic like during the time frame I would be commuting?

Chase Gentry: My commute recently changed to a very short commute to work and school. But whether it’s five miles a day or almost thirty I love just being outside of my car, getting around, and getting the exercise. I originally started commuting the sum- mer of 2008 because gas was like 4+ dollars at one point, and I was literally spending more money on gas for my car than any other monthly expense. So I picked up an old steel Centurion road bike at the thrift store, and still ride it to this day. I always get excited when people want to start commuting. Like Sam I would suggest taking a good look at what equipment they have, and what equipment they’ll need to make their commute most efficient. But above all else my biggest suggestion for them is to find a safe route. As much as you wish cars would see you, most of the time they won’t. There’s no sense in riding on a busy road with little to no room for bikers jam-packed with cars. Find a wider road that’s less busy, even if it may extend you’re commute a little longer.

C.U.: Thanks guys for your help. Sam, congratulations on your acceptance to the Physician Assistant program at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook NY. I’m sure the BTC will miss your expertise.

Setting up for it It is important to establish your ideal, maintainable speed BEFORE entering a turn. Moderate your speed, i.e. do any necessary braking, before- hand. You don’t want to obsess about the road right in front of you. Rather, focus on the entry and exit paths of upcoming curves, and in general on the stretch of road before you. This will allow you to optimally assess an approaching turn as well as a suitable speed given the overall situ- ation – from changes in road surface, to lean of the road itself, to cars and other riders. Braking while cornering will straighten your bike’s path of travel, changing your targeted line through the turn. It can also cause one of your tires to skid. Since front tire traction is your highest priority, avoid use of your front brake while cornering; you should only do so when absolutely necessary, and even then with great caution.

Frontier Airlines has removed the flat fee for checked bicycles and will now include them in the standard baggage allowance, meaning customers traveling on Classic or Classic Plus fares can include their bike as one of their two complimentary checked bags and Economy passengers would pay $20 if the bike is one of their first two checked bags. Bikes will be exempt from any oversize fees, but subject to overweight fees and excess bag fees, if applicable. This is similar to the carrier’s current policy for golf clubs and skis.

Road Racing Booth and Howat Win Bear Lake Classic

By Ryan Barrett

In a repeat of the previous weeks’ state criterium championships, Michael Booth and Laura Howat (both Ski Utah-MarketStar) won the Bear Lake Classic Road Race. Held on May 14th under warm and sunny skies, the primary difficulty in the event was the wind. The Pro 1-2 men rode two laps around the lake, total- ing just over 100 miles. The race was aggressive from the start with the author (Ski Utah-MarketStar) and Darren Goff (Chick-Fil-A/The Bike Shoppe) forming the early break- away in the first few miles. The grue- some twosome were able to pull out a maximum advantage of less than Above: The Cat 3 men's field.

And so it was, with about thirty miles to go, they were brought back into the fold. The field split through the cross- wind section at the north end of the course, only to come back together. From this point on, the race was extremely aggressive with attacks going constantly. The final group of six came into the finish, with Booth able to take the sprint in front of Chase Pinkham (Bissell Pro Cycling) and junior TJ Eisenhart (FFKR). The Pro 1-3 Women completed one lap of the 50-mile course, and also came down to a six-rider break. Howat was able to use her sprint prowess to best Amy Frykman (GAS/ Intrisik) and Megan Hill (Porcupine). The Bear Lake Classic remains a full weekend of racing, with Friday nights’ hillclimb time trial won by Pinkham and Howat, respectively in the men’s and women’s pro events. Sunday featured a 50-mile team time trial won by Ski Utah-MarketStar in the men’s pro event and Revolution Café Rio in the women’s open divi- sion.

A series of attacks and counters by Wangsgard and a motivated pack negated their bid for freedom. The net result ended up gruppo compatto. Dulce Altabella Lazzi (Contender) went next. Her move triggered a series of attacks, from which the eventual wining break would form. When the flurry ended Olsen, Howat and a third rider would remain clear.

Ride of the Month Ibapah Valley Ramble

By Wayne Cottrell

The Ibapah Valley Ramble is a 24.2-mile, out-and-back ride on Ibapah Road in extreme southwest- ern Tooele County. The route is from Ibapah, at the Deep Creek Pony Express Station, to Goshute (main community on the Goshute reserva- tion) and back. The lightly traveled road climbs gradually from Ibapah to Goshute. Start at the Deep Creek Pony Express Station, Ibapah (on Ibapah Road). The terrain features a gradual ascent, with a few roll- ers, to the turnaround point, fol- lowed by a descent. The minimum and maximum elevations are 5,288 and 6,160 feet, respectively. To get there, head south on US 93A from West Wendover, Nevada.

Pushing limits and breaking through the barriers of distance and mountains and deserts. Why? Who can say, exactly. I was back where I had started. My feet and hands were swollen and throbbing.
