MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING Remembering 5-Mile Pass Intermountain Cup #2, - May 3, 2003

By Cindi Hansen

What can you say about 5 Mile Pass? It’s dry, it’s dusty, the course is long and rough, there are those fun few climbs at the end; oh, and there’s the hike-a-bike. Who can forget that? No one does, but that doesn’t stop the 400 hundred or so racers from participating in one of the largest races of the season. With the promise of rain, many racers were bundled up in all their warm weather gear. I over heard someone mention how cold it was and I thought about that first St. George race. This weather was great! As I stood in line waiting for my bunch to start, I got those same familiar feel- ings. “I should have went to the bathroom one last time, will I be warm enough, did I eat enough? I know this is going to hurt, why do I do this?” We make our way to the line and Ed Chauner counts down to the start. “3, 2, 1,” Just like that the race has begun, there’s no turning back. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself riding with Elena above: Richard Abbot leads Jim Rogers Felin, Sobe/Cannondale, right: Todd Henneman takes the plunge. and Kathy Sherwin, Photos: David Hill, courtesy of www.pinnacleimaging.photoreflect.com Continued on page 16 12 cycling utah.com MAY 2003
