Bogus to Boise Banzai Puts a Wrap on the Wild Rockies Season with a Weekend of Fun Events September 14th-16th

The Wild Rockies Series wrapped up the 2007 season with fun events for everyone held at Bogus Basin Resort. Over 230 racers participated in events during the weekend in Boise, on Sept 14, 15, and 16. Our Twilight Run, Singlespeed Championship, Kamikaze Downhill and Bogus to Boise Banzai represented round 7 of the 2007 Wild Rockies Regional Championship Series and attracted participants from Idaho, Utah, Montana and California. The first race of the weekend was the cross-country twilight run held Friday evening on a wild, 5.5-mile course with 1100 vertical feet of elevation, rock gardens and numerous sections of new trail. Saturday began with the Idaho State and Northwestern Regional Singlespeed Championships, sanctioned by USA Cycling. Racers competed over a special, very tough, 6-mile leg that included new sections of single-track. Following the Singlespeed race was the downhill race, on a brand new course; dubbed the “Kamikaze” because the pro/expert course was littered by big rocks and gaps, intimidating most riders to the point of a walking inspection prior to race time. This race was a technical course built especially for the Wild Rockies Bogus weekend by a group of Reed Cycle volunteers. This course is extremely technical and safety was overseen by Darren Lightfield. Mandatory walking inspections were required and it’s recommended during a race or not. Lorien Lightfield took extra care to set up a fun and safe course for the beginner racers, ensuring they had their own ‘Kamikaze’ experience. And to top off the weekend, on Sunday at high noon, more than 120 individuals ascended Deer Point and toed the line for the dramatic “uphill run-to-your-bike LeMans style” start of the Bogus to Boise Banzai. Then they bombed down to the finish line on N. 8th Street.

The weekend races were the final round of the 2007 Wild Rockies Regional Championship Series with over $1,500.00 cash and over $3,000 in prizes awarded courtesy of the Duke Foundation, Wild Rockies Racing, Reed Cycle and Idaho Mountain Touring. Eco-Lounge donated a $400 snowboard for the Banzai raffle. 2007 Wild Rockies Series awards go to riders who competed in at least three races. Top racers in each category will be recognized by Wild Rockies and the series sponsors at a season ending party October 5, 2007.

Twilight Run Summary Bogus Twilight runners chose between 10k and 20k courses. The 20K run was topped by overall winner and adventure racer Joelle Vaught who threw down 45 min lap times. The Team Montrail racer took the lead when the only two runners in front of her ran off course, following trail construction course markers instead of the race course markers. Joelles husband, Steve finished first in the mens 20k with a time of 1:32:48. Ester Ceja was fastest 10k woman with a time of 55:44 and Jay Merritt of Team Tamarack Adventure Program was the fastest 10k man with a time of 49:54. Snacks and prizes from Shu’s Idaho Running Company were had by all as the sun set and the night chill set in.

Singlespeed Race Summary 21 men and women lined up for the Idaho State Single Speed Championships. Pro rider Cody Peterson from Team Scott Bicycles threw the hammer down and blazed the 12-mile course in under one hour, winning the men’s division by 30 seconds over Cary Smith, athlete extraordinaire from Jackson Hole. Bode Development rider Engin Yesimeris made his Semi-Pro debut with a solid third place. The women’s single speed event was handily won by Joanna Peters from Team with a 1:09:06 finish. A close second was Lynn Stott of Team Tamarack Resort, the former Olympic athlete is finding her bike legs and seems to be getting faster and faster in every race she contests. Following Lynn was Jocelyn Johns, sponsored by Bikes to Boards, finding out what it is like to go head to head with national caliber professionals. Don’t be misunderstood… she was not intimidated.

Kamikaze Downhill Summary Speaking of national caliber, the new Kamikaze downhill course at Bogus had riders making comparisons to the national course at Park City, Utah. The quickest rider down was Team Tamarack Resort Pro rider Carl Marcum, who clocked a scary, quick 2:05.499 over the nasty, gapped out 1-mile course. “We look forward to the Downhill event drawing more people in the future. This course is developing nicely and we have some enthusiastic trail building going on at Bogus Basin. If you like to go big, this is the course for you,” says Darren Lightfield, owner of Wild Rockies Racing. As the downhill event finished up, racers and families were treated to a sweet BBQ sponsored by REED Cycles of Eagle with proceeds going towards development of new intermediate trail options on Bogus property.

Bogus to Boise Banzai Race Summary Sunday started off with more than half of these riders treated to high class shuttle from Boise to Bogus on a Valley Express Bus. IMT volunteers, mostly members of Lactic Acid Cycling Club, made sure the riders and their bikes were loaded with style and comfort, providing first class service and breakfast to boot. The riders benefited most by not having to shuttle back up to Bogus to get their cars after the race. Starting as soon as everyone was at the top of the Deer Point lift everyone raced to their bikes in a LeManns style start. Greedy Darren Lightfield quickly grabbed the hole shot, only to suffer to a terrible chain mechanical that let “not-so-greedy” racer David Harrison take the lead. But it was Idaho State short-track and singlespeed champion Cody Peterson who rocked the house and eventually put a 30 second buffer between himself and pro riders Keith Hickerson and defending champion Harrison. Team Tamarack Resorts champion Joanna Peters topped the women with a smoking 48:01 minute race. Stacey Scanlon of Team Tamarack Resort was the pro runner-up. As riders finished they were treated to a huge party, courtesy of the Boise Co-Op and Idaho Mountain Touring. As a local band wailed away, free food and prize raffles stretched out the afternoon. Oktoberfest brew houses provided a taste of what the Boise Co-op has to offer. A special award was given to Adam Mittlieder (Bikes 2 Boards) who stormed the 6in travel Banzai category with a 48:05 and walked away $60.00 richer.
