MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING ChrisChris Allaire/SolitudeAllaire/Solitude CrownsCrowns NewNew ChampionsChampions By Dave Iltis Editor
On a gorgeous day at Solitude Ski Resort, Charlie Gibson (Racer's Cycle Service) and Cindi Hansen (Mtbchick.com/Cannondale) took top honors at the Chris Allaire Utah State Open Championships Intermountain Cup Series event on June 26th. The Pro men rode 20.7 miles over four big loops on a course that consisted of 80% single track. It was perfect for a championship. Ed Chauner, ICS organizer, noted that "it's a great test of mountain bike skills. The course is decep- tive because there's so much sin- gletrack and technical descending and climbing." Lance Runyon (Stein Eriksen Sport/Sirius) took an early lead and looked smooth and fast on the tight descents. He held that lead (Cannondale/Guthrie) and second Hansen went on to win the 15.5 over Gibson for the first two laps runner Trevor Simper (Stein mile, three-loop race despite a last before Gibson began to make up Eriksen Sport/Sirius) didn't have lap crash that left her a bit shaken time on the downhill and single- great days, finishing in 8th and but unhurt save for a bit of road track climbs.

As he round- ed the double-track corner and dropped onto the gopher-hole rid- den trail, Todd Tanner, Cannondale Mountain Bike Team/Guthries, picked up the pace and passed him. " I didn’t want to get caught by the rest of the field, I just wanted to set a steady pace," commented Tanner. Chuck Gibson, Racer’s Cycle Service, pulled his way back to the two leaders just as Zumbrunnen attacked them on the road climb. Unfortunately, a bro- ken chain kept Zumbrunnen from finishing his assault on the rest of the class, and Gibson and Tanner were left out front to battle for first place. Gibson set the pace for the next two laps, but at the end of the third, he made a small mistake, and Tanner took advantage of it. As he passed Gibson, he upped his tempo and opened a gap that proved to be enough, as he rode in for first place. Gibson put in a hard fifth lap and finished just one minute behind Tanner and Lance Runyan (Stein Eriksen Sport), wrapped up the podium in third place.

DOWNHILL RACING. E-100 MTB Race Promises a 2004 Bountiful Bomber Marathon of Fun 2004 Bountiful Bomber Clean up that bike, put some new rubber on, lube the chain and get ready for the most spectacular bike race of the 2004 summer!! Actually, it’s not just a race, but the adventure you have been look- ing for and it’s right here in your own back yard. It’s called The Endurance 100. Imagine riding all your favorite trails like Sweeney’s, John’s, Spiro, Team Big Bear, TG, Spin Cycle and many more. Imagine finding some new trails you never knew existed. Imagine, if you can, over 18,000 feet of vertical gain---can you see where this is going? And finally, imagine doing it in one day!! The terrain will definitely challenge the best of riders and the scenery will keep your mind off the pain and remind you why you wanted to do this in the first place. Not to worry, there will be aid stations every 20 miles with food, water and encouraging people who will help you get back out there with a smile on your face. There are several options in this race if you think that 100 miles on a mountain bike sounds like the kiss of death. You can always opt for the 50 miler, the Euro 100 kilometer (that’s 62 miles) or my personal favorite, grab a few good friends and do the team relay. If you convince five friends to do it with you, that’s a mere 20 miles each! Easy! Or you could get two really good friends, do one leg yourself and have them do two legs each while you cheer them on.

Either way, racing or just being there, it result- ed in a really fun day. Racing the Bountiful Bomber course is all about braking, bal- ance and overcoming the fear of going over the bars into the trees; it’s not super-technical, but it is pretty damn steep in numerous spots. The course is so steep in some spots that past years’ races intimidated quite a few "less skilled" riders, prompting them not to race after testing the course out during practice runs. Thanks to the hard work of a few good men (and women), this year’s course was modified to "flatten out" some of the steepest sections for novice downhillers, while still allowing the bad boys (and girls) to plummet down the classic fall lines they so dearly love. The effort seems to have paid off as a record number of Sport and Beginner class racers crossed the finish line. 22 cycling utah.com JULY 2004
