In that first few miles of stage one from Provo, around Utah Lake and back to Provo, the race endured a tremendous windstorm that blasted the riders with dirt and sand from freshly graded housing develop- ments in rural Lehi, then a thank- fully short, but still cold and soaking rain shower immediately after the windstorm. Our vehicle was in front of the peloton for this part of the course, and on several occasions, even though the riders were only 100 – 200 meters behind, we could not see them through the dirt and debris that was being blown across the roads. The group did emerge, wet, dirty, disheveled, but intact. A few miles later, just as the rain had lightened a bit, the lead patrol car in the caravan missed a turn, despite a course marshal waving to indicate our intended direction, and led the race into a congested hous- ing development where we were doomed to be mice in a cul-de-sac maze for hours. Being familiar with the roads in the area, I was riding shotgun alongside our excellent driver, Tom. As we passed the turn that would take us around Utah Lake, I was scurrying for the map and questioning our course. As we entered the roundabout entrance to the development, with several motorcycles and lead vehicles fol- lowing the patrol car just ahead of us, I began protesting to Tom and anyone who would listen that this could not be the racecourse! Luckily, just before the peloton reached the entrance, the misdirec- tion was diagnosed and race mar- shals went into action. It was a small detour and in the end was a harm- less and ultimately funny episode as the peloton circled the roundabout, and at one point was going in both directions at the same time, doubling back on itself. It would have been a great photo if anyone had been calm enough to take a few shots.

Mountain bike Racing 24 Hours of Moab Sees Deluges, Epic Conditions

this turned into a more universal topic—a piece about the weather. For the first time in over a decade of racing during the wettest month of the year in Moab (where only nine inches of rain fall annually), the 24 Hours of Moab was halted mid-race due to rain, to be restarted amid mud and controversy. In the weeks leading up to the race, weather was the main topic of conversation, and it went beyond idle chitchat. Moab was in a relent- less weather pattern, with regular deluges arriving from the south every few days. Inches of rainfall set new records, and backcountry routes like the White Rim Trail were closed by rockslides and debris flows. Locals would dodge rockfalls just to venture out to watch huge waterfalls pour from normally dry heights. So when promoter Laird Knight showed up with his crew from Granny Gear Productions, he was in for a shock. The normally dry, dusty venue was soaked; the road in was inaccessible. Before they could even move in to set up their impressive collection of tents, electronics and Left: Nick Martin (#39, Trek, 5th place) leads race winner and 24 Hour fencing, they had to find a grader to Series Champion Nat Ross (#1, Subaru) clear the road.

TOURING 24 Hours from page 11 CYCLOCROSS Heber Century is Idyllic that happened: “I think you’d Utah Cyclocross Race #3 — have to be a physics major to figure that out. Most people just wanted to Rocky Mountain Raceways be there racing, but it was just one of those situations that’s less than ideal, so you have to make the best of it. It was really fun being out there, and hanging out with all the other teams.” Wallenfels certainly shared her sentiments about being out there racing. While the solo riders decided as a group to not restart Sunday, she still had a goal to reach. She was on top of the women’s class, but she had a 24-hour strategy to best most of the mens’ times as well. She finished fast enough to place sixth in the men’s class, but she had been aiming for a third-place time. All the racers I talked to, despite any disappointment, were impressed with Knight’s handling of a difficult race, especially given the fatigue and duress. That probably stems from some of the philosophies Knight has developed over years of promoting big events. “Sometimes racers can get it in their heads that it’s them against me, but really I’m there for them; where would I be without them?” Knight asked rhetorically. He even accepts some negative response as a sign of a healthy atti- tude. “Anger is not the opposite of love. The opposite of love is apathy. These people are passionate, and when they’re disappointed it shows.” Above: Kelly Jones (right) and another rider having a Whatever stress they were show- great time. photo: Dave Ward ing late at night, by the time the mud dried they were showing the support of passionate people who’ve By Dave Ward shared an overwhelming experience.
