MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING Champions Crowned at Chris Allaire Utah Open wanted to come out to the Chris Allaire Memorial/ Utah Open State Championship, held on July 9th. As the race started for the Pro men the field made its way up the steep paved climb. As usual, most of us watched as Eric Jones (Biogen-Idec) took the lead while the rest of the field fol- lowed. Mitchell Peterson was quick to follow Eric but he, along with the rest of us, found ourselves in pursuit of second place. As the race went on, spec- tators cheered as the athletes made their way around each lap. In the end Eric Jones was crowned State Champion with a time of 2:01:45 with Todd Tanner (Scott USA) finishing second and Mitchell Peterson (Balance Bar/Devo) taking third. For the Pro women, Sue Abbene (Biogen-Idec) scorched the course with a winning time of 1:54:07 followed by Pamela Hanlon 2:03:00 for second and Teresa Eggertsen 2:05:48 in third.
