an event. Zabriskie has always been 

a willing participant in local events, 

such as his participation in the Josie 

Johnson Memorial Ride and the 

Mayor's Ride in 2005, and he did 

not hesitate to agree to help with the 

Bikes For Kids effort. 

The event, which raised approximately 

$80,000, was composed of 

4 parts: The dinner and auction on 

Friday night; the Saturday morning 

ride, organized by cycling coach J. 

R. Smith, with a choice between a 

century ride, 50k ride or 5k family 

ride; a bike rodeo conducted by 

Jill Smith and Wasatch Women's 

Cycling Club; and the key component, 

the gifting, led by Utah 

Governor Jon M. Huntsman, of 

new bicycles, along with helmets, t- 

shirts, bike locks, 2 tickets to a Utah 

Grizzlies game, and other freebies, 

to 1007 underprivileged children,. 

Debbie Reid stated, "The kids 

were so happy. The event was a 

huge success because of the happiness 

on their faces and in their 

hearts. It was really rewarding to 

see that." 

Major sponsors include Mass 

Mutual/Intermountain Financial 

Group, IHC, Murray Rotary 

International and Costco. A complete 

list of sponsors can be found at 

www.bikes4kidsutah.org. Reid said 

that with the success of this year's 

event and the enthusiastic support of 

the event's sponsors and the cycling 

community, Bikes For Kids will 

definitely be back next year. The 

first organizational meeting for next 

year's event is scheduled for the first 

part of November.

The Bikes For Kids charity 

event booked one star and ended up 

with two. Salt Lake native David 

Zabriskie was the main attraction 

of this event. Those willing to pay 

$100 per plate were able to attend 

a dinner and silent auction with Mr. 

Z on Friday evening, September 29. 

Then, on Saturday, the top fundraisers 

also went on a 50 kilometer ride 

with Utah's most prominent professional 

cyclist. 

Still, at the dinner on Friday evening, 

no one could help but notice 

the 7'2" figure that had to literally 

duck to enter the auction hall and 

dining room. Shawn Bradley, who 

retired two years ago after a successful 

NBA career, garnered a lot 

of attention as he visited and posed 

for pictures with others and told 

of his cycling hobby. Frankly, one 

could not help but stare, though 

doing so for very long could result 

in a sore neck. 

Clearly, though, Dave Zabriskie 

was the star of the show. True to 

form, when he arose to speak, his 

remarks were brief, lasting no more 

than a couple of minutes. Quickly, 

however, event organizer Debbie 

Reid told Zabriskie he was not yet 

done, and that he would have to take 

questions from those in attendance. 

The next half hour was worth 

the cost to be there. In responding 

to queries from the audience, 

Zabriskie's dry wit, honesty and 

incisive comments was both entertaining 

and informative. Those 

present experienced the David 

Zabriskie that others describe 

as quirky and fun, and yet had a 

glimpse of a thoughtful and insightful 

intellect. 

In response to a question that 

was bound to be asked, his take on 

the Floyd Landis doping allegations, 

Zabriskie firmly asserted that the 

allegations were untrue. He told 

how he has come to know Landis 

well, and that Landis would not 

do that. He went on to explain the 

factors supporting Landis, and then 

characterized the current doping 

atmosphere in Europe as a "witch 

hunt". 

This Bike For Kids event 

came about when Todd Reid of 

Intermountain Financial Group 

wanted to promote a charity event 

for the benefit of the Salt Lake 

community. He spoke with his 

wife, Debbie, who had just recently 

returned from a trip to the 2005 

Tour de France, and she was excited 

about cycling and high on David 

Zabriskie. Shortly thereafter, a 

mutual friend referred Zabriskie 

to Mr. Reid, and he approached 

Zabriskie about participating in such

cycling utah Awards 

Dave Zabriskie is Our Rider of the Year! 

By Dave Iltis 

Editor 

The 2006 season has been another 

great one for cycling in Utah. 

There has been continued growth 

of attendance at cycling events in 

touring, racing, downhill, and charity 

rides. More riders on their bikes 

mean more facilities, more money 

donated to charity, more champions, 

and more great coverage in Cycling 

Utah. Each year, we recognize those 

individuals, events and clubs that 

have risen above with our year end 

awards. 

Legend has it that he was towing 

the pack (or what was left of 

it) at 40 mph on the main straight 

at the RMR Criterium. That show 

of speed and power was a precursor 

to big wins in the European 

peloton. Dave Zabriskie (CSC) 

won both time trial stages of the 

Dauphine Libere (a lead-up to the 

Tour de France). He followed 

that with a third in the Tour de 

France prologue and a first time 

finish on the Champs d’Elysees. 

He also took second overall in 

the Tour of California, first in the 

Netherlands Team Time Trial, and 

first in the U.S. Professional Time 

Trial Championship. To top off his 

season, he won the silver medal 

in the Time Trial at the World 

Championships in Austria — the 

highest placing by an American 

in this event. In addition, Dave 

helped out with the Bikes for Kids 

Fundraiser. Dave Z is our Overall 

Rider of the Year for the second year 

in a row. 

Bart Gillespie (Raleigh Factory 

Team) has been virtually unstoppable 

in Utah Cyclocross Series events 

for the last few years. In 2005, he 

won all eight races that he started 

and the overall title. He also raced 

nationally where his results included 

a second place in the North Carolina 

UCI Grand Prix #2. He is our Male 

Cyclocross Racer of the Year. 

Amy Campbell (Revolution) rode 

consistently all year long, winning 

three races on her way to the Utah 

Cyclocross Series Title. She is our 

Female Cyclocross Racer of the 

Year. 

Eric Jones (Raleigh Factory 

Team) keeps on going. Despite an 

early season broken hand, Eric won 

five races in the Intermountain Cup 

Series and finished second overall. 

He also raced nationally, placing 

18th overall in the Pro Men’s cross 

country including ninth place in the 

NORBA National Mountain Bike 

Series finals at Snowmass. Eric is 

our Male Mountain Bike Racer of 

the Year. 

Kathy Sherwin (Ford Cycling) 

just keeps getting faster and faster. 

She won all six Intermountain Cup 

races that she entered and finished 

second overall. On the national 

scene, she stepped up a notch from 

last season, finishing ninth overall 

in the cross country and ninth overall 

in the short track cross country 

in the NORBA NMBS series. She 

was also tenth in the National 

Championships and raced in several 

World Cups. She is our Female 

Mountain Bike Racer of the Year. 

Dave Beeson (Scott Bicycles/X- 

Balm) had a great year going fast 

downhill. He won the Master’s 35- 

39 World Championship, three races 

and the overall in the Utah Downhill 

Series, and took a 4th and 7th in 

the semi-pro in the NORBA NMBS 

series. Dave is our Male Downhill 

Racer of the Year. 

Addie Lepper (GoRide.com) won 

four races in four starts in the Utah 

Downhill Series. She also finished 

ninth in the Southridge Park NMBS 

race. She is our Female Downhill 


Jason Bultman runs on 32 hours 

days. That’s the only explanation 

for how much he is able to get done 

with bicycle advocacy. A founder 

of the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective, 

he started the Collective’s Bicycle 

Education Program to teach adult 

and youth cyclists safe cycling. He 

has been the driving force to get 

state and municipal agencies to 

adopt standards to accommodate 

bicyclists in transportation planning. 

This push for ‘Complete Streets’ has 

led to UDOT adopting a bike/ped 

checklist and design accommodations. 

Salt Lake City is poised to 

adopt Complete Streets in the next 

few weeks. Salt Lake County is 

likely to adopt this as well. For his

Marathon Cycling 

McCool Rides Border to Border in 29 Hours! 

By Errin Adams and John 

McCool 

You may have seen an unusual 

sight passing through your state 

September 5th or 6th. A Utah 

cyclist named John Andrew McCool 

44, from Salt Lake City rode his 

bicycle non-stop and in record time 

from the Arizona border near Kanab 

to the Wyoming border on the 

Mirror Lake Highway. The sanctioning 

body, the Ultra Marathon 

Cycling Association (UMCA), 

keeps ultra distance cycling records. 

McCool is not your typical cyclist 

– he likes to say, ”built for the long 

haul - not speed”! At 5’2 – and built 

like a fireplug – his love and passion 

for cycling is his driving force. 

John describes his epic ride: 

Standing on the Arizona border 

south of Kanab, Utah I contemplated 

what was ahead of me. The answer 

was- Utah! I was preparing to ride 

my bike from where I was standing, 

to the Wyoming border. “Five minutes 

to go” the UMCA official, Don 

Williams said as I was running a 

mental checklist to make sure nothing 

had been overlooked. It seemed 

like it has taken months to get to 

this moment and all I wanted to do 

was start riding. 

Finally the command came, go! 

Riding through the red rocks of 

Kanab the temps were in the high 

90’s and I was at my rides lowest 

elevation. I felt a huge release 

of pent up energy just to be under 

way; I began to climb up Highway 

89. The scenery was beautiful and 

with all sensory receptors on high 

I could really relish the experience. 

Climbing from the desert floor, 

passing Gooseberry Mesa, one of 

my favorite mountain biking spots, 

toward central Utah, I noticed a red 

rock wall bathed in sunshine with 

dark angry clouds curling over the 

top. I felt the first cold headwind 

coming my way. Soon the rain 

pounded as my crew offered up 

a jacket. With the rain, the wind 

shifted to my back and began to 

blow me toward me destination, I’m 

OK with this I thought! 

After reaching a town called 

McCool… asking the musical question: Does chewing gum loose its flavor 

on the aero bar over night?” Photo: Errin Adams 

Roosevelt, the scenario of wind and 

rain began to repeat itself a few 

more times. Hunker down on the 

aero bars against a headwind, put 

on jacket and get dumped on, fly in 

big ring with tailwind. After getting 

caught without it, there was no way 

I was going to relinquish that jacket 

to my crew, I’ll just keep it thank 

you. 

As night fell, I began to feel 

great even though I thought I might 

hurl after large doses of carbo-fuel, 

the temps dropped and the wind 

came around to my back. The next 

150 miles were big ring, adrenaline, 

and aero bars. As the moon 

came up, my support vehicle with 

it’s flashing yellow lights moved 

in behind me to protect me from 

a steady stream of 18-wheelers. 

Almost no car traffic passed, which 

is why we planned this attempt the 

day after Labor Day. The best part 

about trucks is - you know that they 

are not drinking! 

After rolling into familiar roads 

around Nephi Utah, my brother 

joined the crew for the over night 

stretch. Thinking about a record 

time, pounding through the night 

we arrived at the mouth of Provo 

Canyon at 4:30 am. This put me an 

hour and a half ahead of projected 

schedule! My crew changed my 

shoes, put on a winter jersey, jacket, 

and winter gloves. I started up, as 

a strong cold wind was blowing 

out of the canyon. At first I was 

too warm and I thought about taking 

some things off but soon found 

equilibrium. I think the cozy clothes 

brought on the first struggle to stay 

awake but soon we reached the tunnel. 

The top part was so scary and 

it woke me wide-awake instantly! 

Seems that I made the wrong call. I 

thought that all the morning traffic 

would be heading to work in the 

valley but no, it was all construction 

workers in big monster trucks 

trying to get to the Heber Valley! I 

pounded with all my strength to get 

to Heber and a safer road, not realizing 

I was digging deeply into what 

reserves I had left. 

Around 7:00 am, we reached 

Heber City Utah and I spent my first 

appreciable time off the bike. I sat 

in the car and dozed off for a couple 

minutes while the crew got some 

Egg McMuffins. Yum, my first 

solid food! Soon my wife, saying 

the mantra “stay on the bike” had 

me pointed down the road again. 

Here I switch from my night bike 

back to my day bike to find gum 

that my wife had given me on a 

climb out of Kanab still stuck on 

the aero bar where I left it the day 

before! No, I was in no mood for 

gum now! 

To my disbelief, there is a giant 

climb to get from Heber to Kamas. 

By now I knew that it was going to 

get really difficult. Climb, climb, 

and more climb. I was beginning 

to struggle. When we got to Kamas 

and started up the mirror lake highway, 

I was at mile 306 and saw 

the first sign of the end “Wyoming 

Border 55”. Grinding up the road 

I started to do the math. I knew 

this part was going to tear my legs 

off, but after all, this is why it’s 

called Ultra Marathon Cycling. I 

knew that the biggest “percentage” 

of mileage was behind me but that 

didn’t make it hurt any less. I knew 

I could finish; I just worried about 

how slowly I was going because I 

didn’t want to disappoint my crew. 

After about 15 miles, we came 

up to a road construction flagman 

who stopped us. He said it would 

take 17 minutes until we could go 

on, so I un-clipped and promptly 

laid down on the road right there 

and went to sleep, only for a couple 

minutes. I remember laughing to 

my self when I heard my people tell 

the guy that I had ridden my bike 

from Kanab and left about this time 

yesterday. He muttered something 

unprintable about me being nuts that 

I had to agree to some degree, but 

then I thought, “When was the last 

time this guy went on such a grand 

adventure?” 

The next few miles where just 

plain painfully slow. 4500 feet 

“after” 300 miles for a little fireplug 

shaped guy, I couldn’t escape the 

math in my head as my average 

speed just fell away from me. On 

and on, at 10 mph, then 6mph, then 

5mph steeper and steeper. As if 

on cue, it started to rain, then sleet. 

Remember it was 95 degrees when 

I started! My crew kept running up 

and saying things like, “you look 

terrible” and “Are you going to 

die?” But I knew it was only about 

time. Later then sooner I saw spray 

paint on the road from the “High 

Uintas Classic” that said “KOM 

points 200 meters” and I knew I was 

there. Doing the math one last time 

I thought I could come in under 29 

hours if I hammered through the 

rainy decent, but struggling with a 

few of those sneaker climbs, and 

facing hypothermia I faced reality 

and stopped to put on my cold 

weather clothes one more time. 

29 hours and 16 minutes border 

to border, 361 miles. A new UMCA 

record! I have to thank UMCA 

officials and friends Don and Mary

Margaret Williams. Don is a great 

ambassador of this sport whose 

friendship means a lot to me. My 

crew was my wife Erinn and brother 

Dan McCool; no one loves you like 

family! Thanks go to Contender 

Bicycles for their support, and 

Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club 

for such great rides, and folks to 

ride with that allowed me to log the 

mileage needed for this quest. If 

you ride a bike in Utah, you owe 

it to yourself to become a BBTC 

member! 

McCool set the record to return 

it to the hands of a Utahn since last 

year the record was set relay style 

by Fred Boethling of Colorado, and 

Dan Crain from. Boethling and 

Crain have ridden the event “Race 

Across America” known as RAAM. 

This is basically the long distance 

bicycling equivalent to climbing Mt 

Everest. 

John has participated in several 

24 hour cycling events and wants 

to take his riding to the next level, 

sighting the desire to have a more 

rewarding life through challenge. 

He says that it is too bad that Salt 

Lake City doesn’t have a stronger 

cycling community and Utah can 

be an unfriendly place for cyclists. 

Cycling can help fight depression, 

diabetes, heart dieses, obesity, and 

America’s reliance on foreign oil. 

Riding bikes will make America 

strong and healthy again. He would 

love to see cyclists come together 

and get involved. He challenges others 

to break his record. 

McCool currently works at 

Contender Bicycles and has worked 

in the cycling industry for over 

20 years. He is a member of 

Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club 

(Salt Lake City) which has several 

daily rides around the Salt Lake 

area. McCool is also the editor of 

the Out Spoke(n) BBTC monthly 

publication.

Route 211 

The View From Behind 

By Greg Overton 

I really became concerned 

when the swimming pool flew 

across the road. It was one of those 

small kiddy pools, but that’s just 

not something you see every day, 

especially in the first few miles 

of a major stage race. But it was 

indicative of the first twenty miles 

of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. 

Twenty miles that included nervous 

anticipation on the part of everyone 

involved, not just the racers, as the 

six-stage race got underway; and 

Mother Nature letting everyone 

know that she was indeed in charge 

and we would be at her mercy. 

I was fortunate enough to be 

in the media vehicle for the entire 

race, six days of riding in a comfortable 

and air conditioned van with 

other bike racing journalists while 

the riders were battling the 100 

degree temperatures and hills along 

the Wasatch Front. It was my first 

time to experience a race from the 

caravan and not from the peloton, 

and I learned a lot about the behindthe-scenes 

action and logistics of 

rolling a line of cars along busy 

public highways and back roads, all 

the while protecting a bunch of bike 

racers the whole time. 

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 developments 

in rural Lehi, then a thankfully 

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 housing 

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 following 

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 misdirection 

was diagnosed and race marshals 

went into action. It was a small 

detour and in the end was a harmless 

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. 

Afterward, we all laughed at the 

idea of the folks living in the first 

few homes near the entrance, sitting 

down to their lunch when all 

of a sudden, out of nowhere, this 

Shriner’s Circus arrives with horns 

blaring, whistles blowing and guys 

standing through car sunroofs and 

on motorcycles yelling and pointing, 

and vehicles with bikes on their 

roofs heading for the sidewalks to 

make room for a bunch of brightly 

dressed guys on bicycles going really 

fast in both directions. And then, 

twenty seconds later, it’s all gone 

and it’s as if nothing ever happened. 

I’m sure someone in one of those 

homes did a cartoon headshake and 

peered into his coffee cup, asking, 

“What the hell just happened?” 

Once the race was back on 

course, the caravan vehicles had to 

restore the order, as the lineup was 

jumbled by the short detour. The 

race radio announcer did a roll call 

of all team cars and caravan vehicles 

to make certain no one was trapped 

in a cul-de-sac back there, and the 

race was back to normal, if you can 

call those first few miles normal. 

But even without the detour and 

the short Keystone Kops roundabout 

episode, a race caravan is a fun 

thing to watch and be part of. The 

team cars always travel behind the 

peloton, unless there is a breakaway 

of more than one minute, in which 

case any teams with riders in the 

break are allowed to enter the gap 

in case the leaders need assistance. 

As long as the peloton is together, 

the team cars are assigned a position 

in line. Other vehicles in the 

caravan, such as our media car, have 

more freedom to migrate, sometimes 

driving behind the peloton 

and sometimes in front. No vehicle, 

outside of judges or commisaires, is 

allowed to move without permission 

of the commisaire vehicle, as we 

discovered on a few occasions. The 

hard way. 

At times, there may be three or 

four team cars alongside each other, 

stretching from shoulder to shoulder 

across the road if riders from several 

teams have requested assistance. 

When a rider raises a hand to signal 

a need, the radio announcer will 

broadcast that request to the caravan, 

which will permit the team car 

to move out of line and accelerate 

to the rear of the peloton. A few of 

these requests over a short period 

will result in several cars trying to 

service their riders simultaneously. 

Afterward, each car must return to 

its place in line. The return can be 

complicated by still more cars accelerating 

up from behind to assist their 

riders in the peloton. And yes, we 

did see many examples of the long 

water bottle hand off as the rider is 

alongside his team car; the rider’s 

forearms bulging as he grips the 

bottle tightly while the car accelerates. 

As long as it’s done discreetly, 

no one really notices, but there were 

a few time penalties handed out for 

the less discreet or experienced at it. 

Race Directors, Commisaires and 

race judges have tough jobs. There’s 

a lot going on, there are riders to 

protect, roads to secure and rules to 

abide, and it’s a very orchestrated 

and beautiful thing to watch. Car 

horns are used constantly as a means 

of communication between vehicles. 

A couple of taps on the horn as you 

approach a motorcycle or racer is 

required in order to let them know 

you are there and intend to pass. 

Forget to do this and you’ll be called 

something unpleasant as you pass 

by, or at least you’ll get a reminder 

that leaves no chance for confusion 

as to what you’re being reminded to 

do. Another thing we learned is that 

commisaires look down upon open 

doors on moving vans with photographers 

hanging out. Not cool. 

Sometimes, a photographer standing 

through a sunroof is okay, but 

other times, that’s not cool either. 

Photographers spend their fair share 

of time disgruntled and grumpy at 

missed opportunities, and in turn 

defy the rules and are reprimanded 

again. It’s a game they play with 

race officials. 

Once Mother Nature had played 

her hand in those first few miles 

and the race’s only miscue was 

corrected so quickly, the only real 

obstacles for the riders were the heat 

and the hills. Those were expected. 

The race was a rousing success, and 

is sure to grow for 2007, with its 

newly awarded UCI status and other 

changes in the works to ensure its 

success and direction. 

As for riding in the caravan, 

I hope to be invited back to do it 

again next year. It was a fresh view 

of the behind the scenes machinations 

of a major race and a great 

way to catch the action as the race 

unfolds each day. And we weren’t 

even tired!

Trail of the Month 

The Confluence Overlook: A View into the Heart of Canyonlands 

By Gregg Bromka 

In the context of mountain biking, 

"Canyonlands" and Moab 

are often used interchangeably to 

describe the nexus of trails and 

overall sandstoned geomorphology 

of the Colorado Plateau that 

makes up southeastern Utah. More 

precisely, Canyonlands refers to the 

sprawling national park that bears 

it's name. The park's vastness and 

remoteness make it unique among 

the nation's great natural treasures 

because you have to be an intrepid 

traveler -one willing to drive long 

miles in a vehicle - just to find the 

three main entrances, which are hundreds 

of miles apart. Each entrance 

provides access to Canyonlands' 

three "districts": Island in the Sky, 

Needles, and Maze, which have 

been effectively dissected by the 

erosive handiwork of the Colorado 

and Green Rivers, which in turn 

make up a fourth district call the 

"Rivers." By mountain bike, you 

can pedal to a cliff-edge overlook 

of the rivers' confluence and view 

of Canyonlands' four geographic 

components. 

As its name implies, the Needles 

District is a jumble of colorful rock 

formations eroded into a startling 

and diverse landscape of spires, 

fingers, and crevasses amidst colossal 

walls, wide valleys, towers, and 

arches. The route to the Confluence 

Overlook follows long grassy valleys 

separated by fluted sandstone 

ridges. This route, like many of 

Bob rides Devils Lane through the Needles District. 

the hiking trails that lead to more 

remote reaches, rewards the adventurer 

with geologic wonders that 

border on the surreal. 

Newspaper Rock State Park, 

passed on route to the Needles 

District, is an added bonus. 

Both ancient and modern Native 

Americans etched petroglyphs on 

a tarnished sandstone alcove. It is 

perhaps the greatest concentration of 

prehistoric rock art at a single location 

on the Colorado Plateau. The 

Navajo call it Tse Hani or "rock that 

tells a story."

Notes on the trail: 

The ride begins with an ultimate 

combat-style smackdown punch 

with a merciless, technical climb 

over Elephant Hill. The ledgy sandstone 

ramp will jump start your 

heart faster than a double shot of 

espresso, and the white-knuckle 

drop off the backside will keep your 

buzz going strong. (Keep in mind 

that you must surmount Elephant 

Hill on the way out, too.) 

When you intersect the one-way 

loop jeep road, go left and slide 

unrestrictedly through the sandstone 

hallway of the Devils Pocket. 

Judging from rubber streaks left 

on the opposing walls and gouged 

bedrock in the road's tread, vehicles 

have found the corridor to be a 

tight pinch. Following signs for the 

Confluence at the Devils Kitchen 

junction, you'll cruise easily through 

soft sand down to a T-junction on 

Devils Lane. 

Although the main route goes 

right, go left for the all-but-mandatory, 

two-mile, out-and-back spur to 

the Cave of 100 Hands. You'll slog 

through drift sand most of the way, 

but the mosaic of hand-print pictographs 

and the view a battalion of 

spires in Chesler Park make the trip 

worth the effort. 

Devils Lane is one of many 

elongate valleys pinned between 

parallel ridges known collectively as 

the Grabens ("graves" in German). 

Erosion by water, wind, and alternating 

freezing and thawing carved 

up a vicissitude of spires, towers, 

fins, furrows, and long valleys. 

The calico striping of the rocks is 

a result of the interfingering of red 

land-derived sediment and white 

beach deposits. 

To reach the Confluence 

Overlook, you must leave the loop 

once again for a six-mile spur 

through Cyclone Canyon; then you 

must hike a half mile from the road's 

end over sand and rock to the 800- 

foot-high viewpoint of the conjoined 

rivers. You'll know when to stop! 

Finish off the one-way loop road 

by returning to the familiar junction 

for Elephant Hill, and grin-and-bear 

the cursed climb over the pachyderms' 

sandstoned back. 

General location: 80 miles southwest 

of Moab in the Needles District 

of Canyonlands National Park. 

Distance: 15 miles, out-and-back 

with loop in the middle. 

Tread: Sand doubletracks with 

pavement bedrock. Elephant Hill is 

one big slickrock staircase. 

Aerobic level: Strenuous because of 

the many sand traps and the steep, 

technical climb over Elephant Hill. 

Technical difficulty: Most doubletracks 

are harmless except for sand 

bogs. Elephant Hill is steep, ledgy 

bedrock, but it's manageable to walk 

the toughest parts. 

Elevation gain: About 1,300 feet. 

Additional notes: Spring and fall 

are the best times to ride as summer 

is deathly hot, and insects are a 

nuisance by June. Because of deep 

drift sand on jeep roads, it's best to 

ride a day or two after a rain. There 

is a developed campground near the 

trailhead, and the Needles Outpost 

near the Visitor Center has basic 

supplies and gasoline. 

Finding the trail: Drive 40 miles 

south of Moab or 15 miles north of 

Monticello on US 191. Take UT 211 

for 35 miles to the Needles Visitor 

Center, passing Newspaper Rock 

after 13 miles. Drive 3.5 miles more 

to the Elephant Hill trailhead.

Zabriskie Claims Silver in World 

Championship Time Trial 

Salzburg, Austria (September 21, 

2006)-David Zabriskie (Salt Lake 

City, Utah/CSC) took the silver 

medal and gave the United States 

its highest placing ever in the elite 

men’s time trial at the 2006 UCI 

Road World Championships. 

It was the first medal for an 

American in the history of the 

elite men's time trial since it was 

introduced to the world championship 

program in 1994. Other than 

Zabriskie, Lance Armstrong (fourth 

in 1998) and former Utah rider Levi 

Leipheimer (fourth in 2001) are the 

only Americans ever to crack the 

top five. 

Zabriskie clocked a time of 1 

hour, 1 minute and 41.72 seconds 

over the 31-mile course to place 

second behind Fabian Cancellara 

of Switzerland. Cancellara posted 

a championship-worthy time of 

1:00:11.75 to beat Zabriskie by 

nearly 90 seconds. 

Alexandre Vinokourov of 

Kazakhstan was third, turning in a 

time of 1:02:01.47. 

Zabriskie, one of the top time 

trialists on the UCI Pro Tour circuit, 

captured his first world championship 

medal two weeks after winning 

the USA Cycling Professional 

National Championship. His performance 

in Salzburg wasn't enough 

to unseat a seemingly unstoppable 

Cancellara, but nonetheless was one 

of the biggest accomplishments of 

a career which has also seen him 

wear the yellow jersey in the Tour 

de France and win stages in each of 

cycling's three grand tours. 

"I felt good today," Zabriskie 

commented afterwards. "There was 

no way I could have gone any faster 

than I did. He (Cancellara) deserved 

to win with a time gap like that. 

Silver is okay, but to win is even 

better. Still, I'll celebrate tonight." 

Despite Zabriskie's résumé, a 

world championship medal was 

one of the few triumphs he's yet to 

achieve before Thursday. 

"My first race in Europe was 

the world championships in San 

Sebastian," he recalled. That's what 

inspired me to race here. It took 

nine years to get a medal, but now 

I'm motivated now more than ever 

to win." 

Zabriskie was consistent 

throughout the day, rhythmically 

passing each of the route's three 

intermediate time checks in second 

place behind Cancellara. Clearly, 

the Swiss rider was the strongest 

on the day to become the first time 

trial world champion other than 

Australia's Michael Rogers in the 

last four years. 

"I knew he'd be super today, but 

I didn't know he'd be Superman," 

Zabriskie quipped of Cancellara. "So 

congratulations to him." 

Zabriskie, the eighth-to-last rider 

out of the gate, crossed the line with 

the fastest time and took his place in 

the hot seat to wait for the remaining 

riders. As pre-race favorites 

David Millar (GBR), Ivan Gutierrez 

(ESP), Laszlo Bodrogi (HUN) and 

Vinokourov all failed to eclipse 

Zabriskie's mark, and with the topseeded 

Rogers well off the pace 

according to the mid-race splits, 

only Cancellara had the wherewithal 

to prevent the U.S. from capturing 

its first-ever elite men's world time 

trial title.

Gillespie and Holley Take 

Intermountain Cup Points 

Series 

By Ed Chauner 

The grand finale event for the Intermountain Cup 

Race Series was held in Evanston, Wyoming on August 

12. This was the 14th event in this regional series that 

started in St. George on March 4. 

Bart Gillespie (Raleigh) and Kara Holley (Mad Dog 

Cycles) took top honors in the Pro Men and Pro Women 

categories in the 2006 Intermountain Cup Series. 

In the Pro Men category, Gillespie was able to 

hold onto an early-season lead while missing 5 of the 

14 races. Gillespie ended the season with 953 points. 

Teammate Eric Jones (Raleigh) ended up in 2nd place 

(900 points) after placing first in five of the series 

events. Chris Holley (Mad Dog Cycles) started the season 

as an expert racer and moved up to the Pro Category 

after just 4 races. Holley’s consistent results and his 

1st place finish in Evanston moved him up in the final 

standings to third place with 758 points. 

The Pro Women category saw Kara (KC) Holley 

working her way up through the ranks to end in 1st place 

with 1,063 points. Holley placed in the top 3 in 7 events 

and won the final event in Evanston Wyoming. 

Justin Griffin (UtahMountainBiking.com) was the 

winner in the 10-12 year old category with 767 points. 

Griffin had 10 victories out of the 14 events and scored 

points in the Sport Men 13-15 category. When the race 

schedule allowed, Griffin would race in both the 10- 

12 category and with the 13-15 year olds. Last year’s 

champion Rhet Povey (The Bike Shoppe) ended up in 

2nd this year with 548 points. Povey scored points in 

11 of the 14 events. Hunter Tolbert (Big Trace Racing 

& Mules) wrapped up the season in 3rd place with 499 

points. The top female racer in the 10-12 year old category 

was Carlee Hunsaker (UtahMountainBiking.com) 

with 388 points. 

The 9 & Under Category was dominated by Dallin 

Searle (UtahMountainBiking.com). Searle ended the 

season with 560 points. Searle ended the season with 7 

victories out of the 7 races that he entered. Audry Searle 

(UtahMountainBiking.com) followed in second place 

with 377 points. Audry was also the first place female 

racer in this category. Third place overall in the 9 & 

Under category was Alex Birkner with 338 points. 

Tres Wilson (Young Riders) was victorious in the 

Expert Men 16-18 category with 567 points. Wilson's 

main competition was Ryan Harrison (Revolution) and 

Alex Gordon (Young Riders) who finished 2nd and 3rd 

respectively. Harrison ended the season with 487 points 

while Gordon had 352 points. Honorable mention goes 

to Dave Larson (UtahMountainBiking.com) who moved 

up from the sport category for the last event and actually 

ended up with the most points in the Expert category 

with 585. Just looking at points, Larson won 2 categories 

but awards are only given in the category that a 

racer raced in the most races. 

David Welsh (Color Country/Cedar Cycle) and Ryan 

Blaney (Bike Peddlar) ended up in first and second 

respectively in the Expert Men 19-29 category. Justin 

Healy (Cycle Smith) moved from 5th to 3rd place in the 

final Evanston race ensuring him the third place spot on 

the overall series podium. 

Through dedication and perseverance Brad Pilling 

(Revolution Mtn. Sports) topped the Expert Men 30-39 

category with 1,169 points. Pilling’s consistent results 

solidified his first place finish over teammate Richard 

Abbott (Revolution) who ended the year with an impressive 

980 points in this very competitive category. Chad 

Harris (Racers Cycle Service) climbed to third place 

overall with 3rd place finishes in the last 2 events of the 

year. Harris showed fantastic improvement through the 

season. 

The battle for the top spot in the Expert Men 40+ 

category was left wide open after Rob Westermann 

(Vanguard/Spin Cycle) was out for the season with a 

broken leg after the Deer Valley Pedalfest. The lead was 

juggled between Daron Cottle (Porcupine/Specialized), 

Kevin Nelson (Canyon Bicycles) and Bruce Lyman 

(Mad Dog Cycles). Cottle’s lead held through the final 

event as he nipped Nelson by just 10 points to take the 

overall honors. Lyman, who was unable to race in the 

final event because of injuries, came to the race to see if 

his hard earned 782 points would be enough to hold onto 

3rd place. Lyman managed to hoist himself onto that 

3rd place podium at the awards ceremony in Evanston. 

The Expert Women category saw many lead changes 

again this season. Coming into the final race the top 3 

places were separated by only 72 points. In the end it 

was Amanda Riley (Teton Cycle Works) coming in first 

with 833 points followed by Stacy Newton (Sugar/White 

Pine Touring) with 724 points and vaulting into third 

after the final double-points event was Cyndi Schwandt 

(Sugar/White Pine Touring). Riley placed first in the 

last four events that she competed in while Newton had 

consistent top-5 finishes throughout the season. Fourth 

and fifth places went to Bethany Neilson (Logan Race 

Club) and Ellen Guthrie (Vanguard/Spin Cycle) respectively. 

After missing the first 5 races of the season Lisa 

White (Canyon Sports) finished strong enough in the last 

9 races to end the season on that top step of the podium 

in the Sport Women category. Coming into the very 

important final event in Evanston, the top 6 women were 

separated by only 106 points. Hannah Steele (Teton 

Cycle Works) finished the final event in 4th place, which 

was good enough to secure her 2nd place finish overall. 

Lucy Jordan (Revolution Mtn. Sports) had a strong finish 

in Evanston which moved from 6th place overall into 

3rd place, edging out Janelle Kremer (Revolution) by 

a mere 6 points. Forth place went to Meredith Brown 

(Cutthroat/Spin Cycle). 

In the Clydesdale 210lb. Category, Mike Oblad 

(Hyland Cyclery) competed in all 14 events and finished 

in first place in 10 of those events. Oblad finished 

the season in first place with 650 points. Coming on 

strong at the end of the season was Trent Wignall (DNA 

Cycling) finishing in 2nd overall with 576 points. Aaron 

Mullins (Taylor’s Bike Shop) finished in 3rd with 511 

points after scoring points in 14 out of 14 events 

In the Men 50+ category there was a constant 

shuffling throughout the season. The competition in 

this category is fierce with so many racers attending 

so many races. One prime example is Bruce Argyle 

(UtahMountainBiking.com) that has finished every 

race in the series for the past 4 years! Unbelievable!! 

This year’s results saw Brad Mullen (Canyon Bicycles) 

win with 626 points. Mullen was followed by Dwight 

Hibdon (Mad Dog Cycles) with 508 points and in third 

place, by just 5 points, was Bill Dark (Mad Dog Cycles) 

with 503 points. Fourth and fifth were taken by Bruce 

Argyle (UtahMountainBiking.com) and Craig Williams 

(UtahMountainBiking.com) respectively. 

The Women 35+ Category is open to all women 35 

and older regardless of their ability. This category has a 

very dedicated group of racers that have figured out how 

to stay relaxed and have fun yet be competitive. Leslie 

Knowlton-Fredette (Vanguard/Spin Cycle) led this category 

most of the season with victories in 10 out of 10 

races. Knowlton-Fredette finished the series in first with 

665 points and was closely followed by Jolene Nosack 

(UtahMountainBiking.com) who ended the season with 

594 points. Ever-charging Dot Verbrugger (Mad Dog 

Cycles) ended the season in 3rd place with 422 points. 

The number of racers in the sport men categories was 

the largest of all the categories. In Sport Men 16-18, 

Dave Larsen (UtahMountainBiking.com) dominated the 

category from the start of the season. Larsen bumped up 

to the Expert category for the last race of the season and 

with the points that followed him, he ended up with the 

most points in the Expert Men 16-18 category. 

Racers have the option of racing in a harder category. 

That may mean that a 44 year old chooses to race against 

the 30 year olds or a woman races against the men. 

Sixteen year old, Kellie Williams (UtahMountainBiking. 

com) is a prime example. She wanted more competition 

so she started racing with the Sport Men 16-18. Her 

consistent finishes put her in 2nd place with 380 points 

in the final point standings. Congratulations to Kellie!! 

Victorious in Evanston, Brent Randall secured 3rd place 


The Sport Men 19-29 had a very tight finish with 

Jesse Sorenson (Mad Dog Cycles) hanging onto first 

place with 453 points while Brandon Wilde (Mighty 

Pink Belt) was a close 2nd with 440 points. Nate Carey’s 

(Fitzgerald’s Bicycles) victory in Evanston bumped him 

from 5th to 3rd place in overall points. Carey ended the 

season with 3 victories and 380 points. 

Sport Men 30-39 is the largest of all the categories 

with field sizes into the 30’s. Ryan Ashbridge 

(Revolution Mtn. Sports) dominated this category from 

the start and ended with the highest point total of 697, 

even after moving up to expert in late July. Michael 

Engberson (UtahMountainBiking.com) finished 2nd with 

651 points after missing only one race all season. Third 

place went to Carson Chynoweth (Mad Dog Cycles) 


Todd Winner was the champion of the Sport Men 

40+ category. Winner had 7 victories through the season 

and ended the year with 641 points. Tom Henning 

(Canyon Bicycles) ended up in 2nd place with 530 

points and rounding out the top 3 was Bart Anderson 


A new category was added this year to account for 

our aging population of racers. Men 57+ will continue 

to grow in years to come. The first winner ever in this 

category was Lewis Rollins (Sambucca/Contender) with 

582 points. Joel Quinn (Revolution Mountain Sports) 

was 2nd with 556 points and Jim Westenskow (Ogden 

One) was third with 374 points. 

Congratulations to all the racers that competed in the 

Intermountain Cup Mountain Bike Racing Series. The 

2007 series will begin on March 3 in St. George, Utah.

By David Bern 

At less than a dozen miles 

into this year’s LoToJa Classic on 

Sept. 9, Kirk Eck (Logan Race 

Club) thought his bid to win the 

Men’s I, II race was lost before he 

even reached the first feed zone at 

Preston. 

Stopped with a front puncture 

near Amalga, Eck, who won the race 

in 2002 and was eager to win again, 

watched the peloton vanish while 

waiting for neutral support to give 

him a new wheel. 

“The change took about three 

minutes,” he said. “I thought it 

was over for me because the wheel 

change was slow. …If someone had 

attacked, I never would have got 

back on.” 

With help from teammate Nathan 

Thomas, Eck caught the peloton 

after a four-mile chase. Eight and 

half-hours later, the untimely puncture 

was temporarily forgotten as 

Eck joyfully crossed the finish line 

at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort 

with a winning time of 9:16:55. 

For Jennifer Halladay 

(Tamarack), her 10:26:41victory 

in the Women’s I, II, III race came 

after a day of riding hard tempo with 

a breakaway of six. At 250 meters to 

go, she jumped for the line and won 

by a bike length over Cherell Jordin 

(Franklin Covey). 

“It felt really good to win,” she 

said. “But sprinting after 200 miles 

really hurt a lot.” 

With a new course introduced 

last year that features 206 miles, 

three mountain passes and over 

8,000 ft. of climbing, a day-long 

ride in the hurt box was indeed on 

the minds of Eck, Halladay and 998 

other licensed and citizen cyclists 

who left Logan. 

Weather conditions were ideal 

for this year’s 24th edition with 

clear skies, favorable winds and 

a high in the lower 70s. Even the 

early morning start and initial miles 

through Cache Valley offered calm, 

comfortable air in the upper 40s. 

Such was not the case in 2005 

when more than half of the overall 

field quit after an unexpected cold 

front hit with rain, snow and wind 

on Strawberry Canyon’s 7,420 foothigh 

summit. Many riders were 

unprepared for the sudden weather 

shift and struggled with hypothermia 

on the descent to Montpelier. 

But back to this year’s LoToJa, 

Eck’s near race-ending puncture 

wasn’t his only scare for the day. 

While climbing toward Strawberry 

Summit with over 150 miles to go, 

Benjamin Dhults (Park City Cycling 

Academy) went to the front and 

set a pace that other legs couldn’t 

match. 

Only last year’s winner David 

Francis (Red Burro Racing) was 

able to go with Dhults, but after 

a quarter mile he slowed and was 

reabsorbed by the chase group. 

Moments later, Norman Bryner 

(Guthrie) attacked and seven riders, 

including Francis, went with him to 

chase Dhults. Eck, however, wasn’t 

one of them. 

“Because I’m not a strong climber, 

I had to let them go,” he said. 

He began to think about his climbing 

abilities and whether or not he 

had the strength to endure the new 

course’s three major ascents. 

As Eck and the rest of the peloton 

crested the first false summit of 

Strawberry Canyon, and didn’t see 

Bryner’s group ahead, he thought 

his chances to win were slim and he 

began “to sing the blues.” 

But this was Eck’s 11th consecutive 

year of racing the LoToJa, and 

he knew that patience and perseverance 

are often just as important as 

strength and teammates. Also, fortunes 

can quickly change during a 

206-mile road race. 

On the steep descent from 

Strawberry Summit, he and the rest 

of the peloton caught a group of 

four before Ovid. After feed zone 

#2 at Montpelier, “We caught two 

more coming down from Geneva 

Summit,” said Eck. “Norm (Bryner) 

and Dave (Francis) were still out in 

front.” 

With 6,923 foot-high Geneva 

Summit 15 miles behind them and 

100 miles still to go, Eck and the 

chase group began the climb to the 

summit of Salt River Pass at 7,630 

feet. The pace was stiff to shed riders. 

“Going up Salt River guys were 

coming off,” said Eck. “I was riding 

tempo and fighting cramps, but six 

of us came over the top together, 

and on the descent we picked up 

Francis.” 

Bryner was still off the front, and 

the group chased cooperatively to 

catch him. “We rode well together 

and we caught Norm after Afton,”

www.NationalSportsPhotos.com 

said Eck. “He had blown up, but he 

did get back on.” 

Inside scenic Snake River 

Canyon with less than 50 miles to 

the finish, Eck’s initial self-doubt 

turned to confidence and strength. In 

fact, he noticed that he felt the best 

ever in riding the event 11 times. 

“I didn’t have any cramps or 

stomach problems like I usually do 

at that point,” he said. “I felt great.” 

Throughout the canyon toward 

Hoback Junction there were some 

minor attacks, but the seven-man 

group stayed intact. However, on the 

descending flat leading toward the 

first stoplight at Jackson, Eck made 

an attack that he described was 

about a 90% effort. 

“But the light turned red and 

I had to stop,” he said. The group 

reformed and stayed together 

through the remaining stoplights. On 

the way to Wilson, Nathan Thomas 

attacked and created a 20-second 

gap. With a teammate now ahead, 

Eck sat in and waited for the group 

to give chase—which they did with 

the finish less than 10 miles away. 

After Thomas was caught and 

with about four miles to go, Eck 

attacked “with everything I had.” 

Jeremy Smith (Vanguard Media) 

responded and the two built a slim 

10-second gap. 

At 800 meters Eck was in front 

and he waited for Smith to jump. 

When it didn’t happen by 200 

meters to go, Eck attacked again 

with a full sprint and developed a 

five-second gap on Smith. 

“I got to cross the line by myself 

and I really enjoyed it,” he said. “I 

felt complete relief and joy. And my 

family was there to see me win.” 

Smith came in at 9:17:01, followed 

by Thomas at 9:17:11. 

Eck said that his victory was 

particularly special because the 

LoToJa’s new course is “the hardest 

by far” due to Strawberry and 

Salt River Summits. He said that he 

plans to defend his win next year, 

and hopes that more Cat. I, II riders 

enter for the 25th anniversary 

LoToJa. 

According to Jenn Halladay 

(Tamarack), the Women’s Cat. I, 

II, III peloton of 10 riders stayed 

together through Cache Valley, 

but split half way to Strawberry 

Summit. On the descent and flat 

into Montpelier, the group agreed to 

ride a hard tempo and not attack one 

another until the finish. 

“We had a ref (USCF official) 

with us the entire time, and we 

didn’t know if we could ride with 

other groups, so we just kept together,” 

said Halladay. The group even 

waited for one another at feed zones 

and for pee breaks. 

But with five miles to go, alliances 

began to dissolve and the pace 

quickened. At about one mile to the 

finish, Halladay, who rode the race 

for the first time in 2004 and took 

sixth, went to the front and was 

joined by Cherell Jordin (Franklin 

Covey). 

Halladay attacked Jordin to see if 

she could shake her, but Jordin held 

on. At 200 meters, Halladay jumped 

again. 

“I led Cherell out and I was 

scared that she was going to come 

around me,” said Halladay. “It felt 

really good to win. It’s such a beautiful 

race, especially along the Snake 

River.” 

Jordin’s second place time was 

10:26:44. Amanda Riley (Teton 

Cycle Works), last year’s Cat. I, II, 

III winner, took third at 10:26:45. 

Of special note, Halladay, who is 

a mother of five, won the Sea Otter 

Classic’s 35 and over women’s category 

last April, and placed second 

in this year’s Idaho State Road Race 

Championships. At Nationals she 

placed 27th out of 77 riders. 

The full-time mom and racer said 

she hopes to come back next year to 

defend her title because she loves to 

ride a bicycle and the tactics of racing 

over a 200-mile course intrigue 

her. 

“I enjoy racing the LoToJa 

because it gives any caliber of rider 

the opportunity to race 206 miles, 

which is amazing in and of itself, 

and why I think this race is so popular,” 

she said. “It also allows racers 

to develop friendships and camaraderie 

along the journey, especially 

the women’s field. The girls I raced 

against were top notch and fun. 

What an accomplishment!” 

LoToJa Race Director Brent 

Chambers expressed gratitude that 

this year’s event saw a return of 

good weather that resulted in more 

riders finishing on a new course. 

Over 80% of the field made it to 

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort; last 

year only 35% finished. 

“The weather was just the opposite 

of last year’s,” he said. “The 

temperature and wind were ideal. 

It was a perfect day for riding a 

bike over 200 miles.” It was also a 

good day for the race’s organization, 

which enjoyed no major challenges 

with 1,000 riders on the course. 

Chambers added that next year’s 

25th Anniversary will be a “special 

event, with a special cause for celebration.” 

The 1,000 rider cap will be 

maintained, with registration opening 

on or before early April 2007. 

This year, registration opened in 

early April and the ride cap was hit 

on May 12. Throughout the summer, 

over 300 riders were on a standby 

list. 

Other LoToJa highlights: 

—Over $20000 was raised by participants, 

promoter Epic Events, and 

LoToJa sponsor Autoliv and donated 

to the Huntsman Cancer Institute. 

—Over $1500 was donated 

to Autism Spectrum Disorder 

Connections, which benefits families 

with children who have autism. 

—Approximately 3,500 people were 

involved with the race, from riders 

and crews, to volunteers. 

—At any give time there were over 

350 volunteers on course. 

—Approximately 83% of riders 

finished. 

—About 35% of this year’s riders 

were first-time competitors. 

—About 18% were riding LoToJa 

for their second consecutive year 

—The average rider age was 39. 

—Approximately 200 prize bags 

were prepared for the Sunday morning 

awards ceremony at Jackson 

Hole High School. 

—One hundred ninety three women 

participated in this year’s race, the 

majority of them in the relay team 

event. 

—The last rider reported to finish 

was at 8:36 p.m. 

—The youngest rider to finish was 

13; the oldest was 74. 

—Riders came from as far away as 

Australia, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, 

Florida and Massachusetts.

Mountain bike Racing 

24 Hours of Moab Sees Deluges, Epic Conditions 

By Ron Georg 

Mark Twain wrote an essay 

that should be required reading for 

journalism students. While I’ve forgotten 

the title (journalism school 

was a long time ago), the story was 

a cautionary tale about a reporter’s 

hubris, the pride that comes with 

believing one can tell any story 

simply by virtue of his innate power 

of observation. Twain does extract 

a story out of his experience as an 

agriculture reporter, but it is a selfdeprecating 

piece about his failure 

to grasp the most basic tenets of 

farming. 

I was recalling this essay as the 

24 Hours of Moab approached this 

year. Sure, I’ve paid some attention 

to the race over the years. It is one 

of the largest mountain bike races 

in the country, after all, and many 

of my friends race it annually, so 

it’s inescapable for any Moabite. 

But I’m not a racer and certainly 

not a race reporter; going into the 

event I had little idea who to watch 

or why. I had the uneasy, nauseating 

feeling that anyone who would 

read my story would see through it 

like a cornhusker reading Samuel 

Clemens’s early reportage. 

But this year’s race would prove 

to be a very different event, and the 

racers’ hardship would be my good 

fortune. Instead of a story about the 

esoteric world of 24 hour racing, 

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 relentless 

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 

fencing, they had to find a grader to 

clear the road. 

“It was the most challenging 

race I’ve ever produced,” Knight 

said. “It’s already the biggest event 

we produce, and we usually have a 

one-week advance to set up. This 

year we didn’t even get on site to 

the venue until Wednesday,” he 

explained. That would leave just 

three days to set up tents, establish 

an extensive electronic timing/computer 

network, groom the course, 

and create the small city which services 

some 4,000 racers and support. 

By the time of the Saturday 

start, the crew was worn out, but the 

venue was ready. With the day starting 

out overcast and drizzly, it was 

shaping up into a good race. Moab’s 

normally dry conditions benefit

from some moisture, which helps 

pack down the sandy course. The 

first racers on the course turned in 

fairly fast times, many completing 

the 15-mile loop in as little as one 

hour, ten minutes. 

Things were going well until 

evening, when the rain became 

heavier. “The course was saturated 

to begin with,” Lynda Wallenfels, 

winner of the women’s solo category, 

said. “When more rain came, 

the ground couldn’t handle it, and it 

just turned to runoff.” 

As any trail builder knows, runoff 

can tear up a trail quicker than a 

gang of teenagers on ATVs. In the 

sandy desert environment, with little 

or not topsoil to absorb water and 

stabilize the ground, a small rut can 

become a large arroyo in the time it 

takes a 24-hour racer to complete a 

lap. That means a different course 

each lap, with new hazards and 

challenges—including the challenge 

of crossing flooded washes. 

While the race has been held in 

colder conditions—it has snowed 

on the 24 Hours of Moab—the rain 

presented a greater danger of hypothermia. 

Gritty bicycles and difficult 

riding surfaces slowed many riders 

to the point where they were no longer 

generating enough heat to stay 

warm, and there was no way to stay 

dry while crossing flooded sections 

of trail. 

At close to 8 p.m., Grand County 

Emergency Medical Services 

received their only hypothermia victim 

of the evening, and that was one 

too many for Knight. While EMS 

director Jeff Davis reports that the 

overall injury rate was actually low

for a 24 Hour event, with just 18 

injuries and four requiring transport, 

Knight recognized that hypothermia 

signified a change in the race’s 

dynamic. 

He had that suspicion justified 

later in the week, while he was 

packing up the registration area. 

The hypothermia victim approached 

Knight and introduced himself as a 

military Special Forces instructor, 

and he thanked Knight for making 

such difficult decision. “I had so 

many known hard-cores, people who 

are tough as nails, come in off the 

course, and they’re saying that it’s 

really scary out there,” Knight said. 

“I knew this was just the beginning 

if we kept going.” 

Still, there were racers who 

didn’t find the conditions overwhelming, 

Wallenfels among them. 

“It was the right decision for about 

95 percent of the racers,” she said. 

“But I was in the other five percent. 

Crazy situations come up in mountain 

bike racing, and you need to be 

prepared. As a 24-hour solo racer 

I really like it when the conditions 

turn gnarly; it weeds out the ones 

who weren’t prepared.” 

Wallenfels, who lives in St. 

George, is also a coach (www. 

lwcoaching.com), so she is more 

studied than many racers on what 

it means to prepare for a race. 

Women’s expert racer Kirstin 

Peterson, captain of the Jane Does 

third-place team, is the owner of 

Moab’s Rim Tours outfitters. As a 

guide, she’s also predisposed to preparing 

for every contingency. 

Like Wallenfels, she also understood 

the necessity of shutting down 

the race. “At the time I didn’t think 

it was too bad,” She said, “but after 

seeing what had happened around 

here during the previous two weeks, 

we were very aware of what nature 

could do. If it had rained another 

half hour, it could have turned lifethreatening.” 

However, few people, including 

Knight himself, were happy with the 

race restart the next morning. The 

plan was to restart teams according 

to when their last riders had come 

in. That meant that teams who sent 

riders out just before the closure, 

during the worst conditions, would 

be starting hours after others whose 

last laps were completed in relatively 

good conditions. 

Recognizing the disparity, some

teams elected to drop their slow 

laps, which is allowable under the 

rules. Normally, a team would only 

exercise this arcane rule if a racer 

had an extremely slow lap due to 

mechanical problems or injury. In 

this case, a number of teams chose 

to drop a lap. 

That would allow them to start 

in the first batch of restart racers, on 

a fresh, fast course in the daylight. 

Unfortunately, not all the teams 

were aware of this option. As the 

inequity set in, there were some 

tense discussions in the timing tent. 

Eventually, Knight decided to throw 

out everyone’s last lap. That didn’t 

work, either. 

There were still inequities based 

on slow evening laps versus potential 

faster laps following the morning 

restart. It is all so complicated 

that Knight issued a communiqué 

on the Granny Gear website (www. 

grannygear.com) to explain the 

entire situation, with examples of the 

various results of different schemes. 

Ultimately, Knight realized there is 

no way to pick up where you left off 

in the middle of an inclement race. 

“If you stop the race in the 

middle of a slow lap, you create 

problems,” Knight explained. “There 

is absolutely no fair way to stop and 

restart a 24 Hour race during changing 

weather conditions. We created 

a fair amount of confusion, chaos, 

and disappointment. If I had it to 

do all over again, I’d have called 

it at 8 p.m., and told everyone to 

come back at 6 a.m., and we’d have 

a completely new race, with a new 

start, and we’d combine the times.” 

That would have been Peterson’s 

favorite option. While the race 

resumed at 9 a.m., teams were sent 

out based on their previous evening’s 

position, and her team didn’t 

get to restart until 11:50 a.m., ensuring 

they’d only get in one more lap. 

She’s not quite sure how

Beeson Crowned Masters World Champion 

David Beeson (Scott Bicycles/X-Balm/USA Cycling; Syracuse, Utah) 

won the men’s 35-39 downhill race at the 2006 UCI Masters Mountain 

Bike World Championships at Sun Peaks Resort in British Columbia 

August 30-Sept. 3. Beeson beat past world champions and all comers. “It 

was the craziest downhill course I’ve ever ridden. It was so fast, so over 

the top. The majority of the course we were doing 40-45 mph straight 

down the mountain,” said an elated Beeson. The Utah rider was seeded 

first going into the finals. He ended up only .02 seconds ahead of second 

place Lars Tribus (former world champion). 

On the final stretch to the finish, he slipped a pedal and stuffed his 

foot through the spokes on his front wheel, came to almost a complete 

stop, and nearly crashed. He had one final turn to make but the tire 

wouldn't hold traction because of the wow in the rim caused by six broken 

spokes so he had to power wheelie around the bend and into the finish. 

“It’s pretty amazing to represent your country and watch them raise 

the flag,” said a proud Beeson. 

Gene Hamilton (Fruita, Colo.) won the bronze and Damon Kirchmeier 

(Yeti/Maxxis; Salt Lake City) took fifth in the men’s 40-44 downhill 

event. 

Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah Receives UCI 

Status and Place on USAC Pro Tour 

USA Cycling recently announced the creation of the USA Cycling 

Professional Tour, to recognize the top international-caliber foreign and 

domestic UCI professional teams and riders over the course of the racing 

season in the United States. The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah will be one 

of four stage races that make up the fifteen race series. 

In addition, the Tour of Utah has been awarded UCI (International 

Cycling Union) status for 2007. 

The decision to make the Tour of Utah an official UCI event comes 

from recommendations by UCI commissaires who participated behind the 

scenes at the 2006 inaugural Tour, as well as from positive feedback from 

race teams. UCI commissaire Marilyn Allen was the team liaison for the 

August 2006 Tour. “The teams were happy with the event and look forward 

to returning next year,” she said. 

The Tour of Utah is a Tour de France-style six- day, six-stage, 500- 

mile bike race across some of Northern Utah‚s most beautiful and challenging 

landscapes. Planning for 2007 is already underway with the Tour 

dates to be set for late July or early August. 

Full coverage of the 2006 Tour of Utah can be found in Cycling Utah’s 

September issue online at cyclingutah.com. More information on the Tour 

of Utah can be found at tourofutah.com. 

Kotval Wins National 

Crit Title 

On July 13, Kirsten Kotval 

(Ivory Homes) won the Master 

Women’s 35-39 National 

Criterium Championship at the 

USA Cycling National Festival 

in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania. 

Kotval won the attack-filled 40 

km crit in a sprint finish. 

I-80 Frontage Road 

Closed in SLC 

The I-80 frontage road from 

5600 W to 7200 W in Salt Lake is 

closed to all traffic until February 

or March. Cyclists may ride on 

the shoulder of I-80 if necessary. 

An alternate route is 500/700 S. 

This is not a good situation and 

cyclists are encouraged to use 

extra caution. 

Driver Pleads Guilty 

On October 16, 2005, a car 

driven by Rogelio Molina, now 

23, struck and killed cyclist 

Claude O. Williams on N. Temple 

in Salt Lake City. Molina’s 

blood alcohol level was 0.14. The 

vehicle continued on after hitting 

Williams. The accident was witnessed 

by a cab driver who called 

police. According to the SLPD, 

Williams was riding in an appropriate 

area of the roadway and did 

not appear to be doing anything 

incorrectly. On October 23, 2006 

in Third District Court, Molina 

plead guilty to Automobile 

Homicide, a third degree felony. 

The charge of failure to stop at the 

scene was dismissed. He will be 

sentenced on January 8, 2007 by 

Judge William Barrett. He faces 

up to five years in state prison. 

Letter to the Editor 

A Grateful Shoutout to the Bicycling Community 

It started the morning of August 12th, when our 10-year-old son was 

in a bike race. We took our DVD recorder to the event, and got a bunch 

of it on disc. Afterwards, my son and I took off to see the Tour of Utah 

Race. We caught some of the action up Provo Canyon and then drove 

around the Alpine Highway to where the riders turned and headed up over 

Suncrest. 

This is where the story takes a twist. My son had the camera and as 

the riders approached, he got excited and set it down on the ground. We 

then jumped in the truck and headed for Little Cottonwood Canyon. On 

the way there, my son asked if I had the camera. It was then we realized 

the camera had been left behind. 

We didn’t have much hope of ever seeing it again – then one night 

several weeks later the phone rang. It was a Mrs. Preston, from the “Tour 

of Utah” Committee. She told us that she had been contacted by Sony, 

who sent her a copy of the Disc. She did some incredible detective work. 

She determined what my son’s name was from watching the video, then 

the area of the race. Mrs. Preston then began calling all the Jones’ in the 

phone book. (It couldn’t have been an easy name like Zimmer) After 

finding us, she told us whom to contact at Sony to get our camera back. 

When we got it back, we found out about a Mr. Bennett. He found 

our camera right where it was accidentally left, and after running ads in 

the paper and contacting every possible authority in the area to report the 

find, he turned to Sony hoping we had registered the purchase with them. 

Unbelievably, we got our camera back, including the disc of my boys 

race, the Tour of Utah footage, and a short bit of information from our 

new friend, Mr. Bennett, on how he hoped we would get it back. 

Many, many thanks to Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Preston, and Sony. We 

appreciate your efforts to get us back our camera. The biking community 

is made up of some incredible people. 

And thank you Tour of Utah for an extremely fun event! 

Sincerely, 

John Jones


TOURING 

Heber Century is Idyllic

great time.

By Dave Ward 

Publisher 

In the days prior to the Heber Valley Century, it snowed and froze. I had 

signed up for this event, expecting to be riding on a nice, autumn day. Well, 

fortunately, the weather broke, and September 23 dawned with only partly 

cloudy skies. 

Still, it was below freezing at registration, and I was thankful I had 

packed all my cold weather gear. Even at that, it was several chilly miles 

until the sun finally rose above the horizon to send its warming rays upon 

nearly 400 nearly freezing cyclists. 

Bike 2 Bike promotes this event as "Utah's Most Beautiful Bike Ride". 

Despite the cold, it would be difficult to argue with this. Starting in the 

Heber Valley, the ride took us through Heber City and then westward to 

Soldier Hollow with snow-covered Mt. Timpanogos rising sharply behind. 

As the sun's rays began to work down the slopes of Mt. Timpanogos, its 

snowy slopes were bathed in early morning reddish light. When the sun 

continued to rise, the autumn colors of the flora on Timpanogos's lower 

slopes lent their beauty to this setting. 

From here, the ride goes north and then east along the Jordanelle 

Reservoir to the Kamas Valley, north through Oakley and Peoa, alongside 

Rockport Reservoir to Wanship, and then makes a loop from there to 

Coalville and back before retracing itself to Heber. 

An idyllic route, it takes riders on a rolling course alongside woods and 

streams, pastures, hayfields, cattle herds and ranches, farms and an assortment 

of other pastoral pleasures. Having been raised in a similar if not quite 

so lush setting, I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the bike during this ride. 

Even the floating fragrance from a nearby cattle ranch brought back memories 

of where I grew up, rather than the more common comment, "What is 

that smell?" that city-slickers are prone to pronounce. 

I was sorry that an afternoon commitment required me to opt for the 

50 mile option on this ride. I would have enjoyed peddling the rest of this 

route. 

Bike 2 Bike is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting rural 

rides, where one can view magnificent vistas, breath pristine air and enjoy 

the natural beauty and splendor of the Rocky Mountains and the red rock 

country of the Southwest, while raising money for local charities such as 

the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Spina Bifida Association of Utah, the 

Hemophilia Foundation and other worthwhile causes.

that happened: “I think you’d 

have to be a physics major to figure 

that out. Most people just wanted to 

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 attitude. 

“Anger is not the opposite of 

love. The opposite of love is apathy. 

These people are passionate, and 

when they’re disappointed it shows.” 

Whatever stress they were showing 

late at night, by the time the 

mud dried they were showing the 

support of passionate people who’ve 

shared an overwhelming experience. 

I’ve no doubt you can find some 

rants out there in the blogosphere, 

but I prefer to think of this event as 

it will be remembered by Moab solo 

racer Fred Wilkinson: “In the end it 

wasn’t really a race, out there in the 

mud, it was just crazy…it was like a 

Woodstock deal.”

Salt Lake City Bicycle 

Map Now Available 

The 2006 edition of the 

Salt Lake City Bikeways Map 

is now available. The map of 

the city shows Salt Lake City’s 

107 miles of existing marked 

bike routes and bike lanes as 

well as preferred roads for bikers. 

It includes a section on bike 

safety and information on Salt 

Lake City’s other environmental 

programs including markers for 

environmentally friendly e2 businesses. 

The map is available 

at the Salt Lake City & County 

Building located at 451 South 

State Street or the Transportation 

Division Office at 349 South 200 

East, Suite 450. A downloadable 

pdf is available online at 

www.slcgov.com/Transportation/ 

BicycleTraffic/MAP.htm. 

Parley’s Pathway 

Update 

Since last August much has 

happened with the Parley’s 

Pathway Project, the plan to 

establish a bicycle route through 

upper Parley’s Canyon. Most 

significant is that Mayor Peter 

Corroon’s office has put $50,000 

in the 2007 budget for a feasibility 

study on the Project. This 

is wonderful support from the 

County government and, pending 

approval by the County 

Commission, will go a long way 

towards funding a good study. 

The PPP is, however, looking for 

additional funding sources. The 

Salt Lake City government has 

reacted favorably to the Project 

and it’s hoped that they will 

partner with the County in these 

initial funding efforts. It’s also 

hoped that Summit County will 

chip in as well. Private funding 

is very important and is actively 

being sought, along with various 

grant opportunities. 

For more information contact 

Gordon Stam at: gstam@xmission.com. 

ADVOCACY 

Millcreek Signage Posted; Wasatch Striping 

Bicycles must stop at the 

Millcreek Entrance Station! As 

most of you probably remember this 

spring there was much controversy 

over cyclists blowing through the 

stop sign at the base of Millcreek. 

Although cyclists do not need to pay 

when leaving the canyon they still 

need to come to a stop at the station. 

Recently, with the support of the 

Salt Lake County Bicycle Advisory 

Committee, the US Forest Service, 

Mayor Corroon, and County Parks 

& Recreation, new signage was 

placed reminding cyclists to stop, 

along with a reminder to motorists 

that bicycles are present and they 

don't need to pay. The County has 

also generously widened and fixed 

the bike path around the station and 

put in barriers to help with debris. 

Station employees indicate that 

riders are starting to notice the new 

signage, but still aren't stopping. 

Obeying all traffic laws goes a 

long way in obtaining the support 

and cooperation of the motoring 

public. Everyone is hoping that once 

riders are aware of the new signs, 

they will start stopping. Every time 

a cyclist flaunts the traffic laws, 

motorists get more irritated. If we 

want respect, we need to first give 

respect. Remember, always be a 

“Bicycle Ambassador” when on the 

road. 

In other news, the Phase I of the 

Wasatch Blvd re-striping project 

has been completed from Parley's 

Crossing to Harper's Corner. Nice 

wide paths and ample signage 

should make this a safer ride. 

More information may be 

found at www.slcbac.org. The 

SLCBAC meets the 2nd Monday 

of each month from 5:00 to 6:30 

pm in Room 4010 of the Salt Lake 

County Government Center, North 

Building on the northeast corner 

of 2100 South State. Note: in 

November, the meeting will be on 

Tuesday, November 14th; room to 

be announced.

commuter of the Month 

The “Old Guy in the 

Fluorescent Orange Vest” 

Helping SL County Cyclists 

C.K.: Absolutely Yes! There has 

been increased visibility of bicycling 

and bicycle commuting within the 

county government. It has provided 

an avenue for advocates to present 

programs and voice concerns as a 

group. There is much more awareness 

within the county government 

of the needs of cyclists. Personally 

I want to thank former councilman 

Steve Harmsen for his efforts to get 

the committee established. 

C.U.: Has the environment for 

cyclists been positive within the 

county with Mayor Peter Corroon in 

charge? 

Charlie Kulp and his orange vest. 

By Lou Melini 

This month’s commuter profile 

presents Charlie Kulp, an auditor 

with the county, and a member 

of the Salt Lake County Bicycle 

Advisory Committee (slcbac.org). 

Cycling Utah: I understand that you 

have eased into bike commuting 

over the years. Tell me about your 

commuting for the readers who may 

not want to become a full time commuter. 

Charlie Kulp: I’ve commuted for 7 

perhaps 8 years, starting very slowly 

with regards to speed and the number 

of days I ride. Most of my riding 

is from March to October moving 

up to 3 days a week, though I have 

done nearly 2 straight weeks at one 

point. I use UTA when the days get 

shorter. My commute is 7 miles each 

way. I also do errands on my bike 

depending on what I need to carry 

and the distance from home. Making 

the transition from automobile 

transit to bike (or UTA) is mostly 

attitude. For me I am seeing the 

good things from my riding, fitness, 

zero environmental impact, and cost 

savings. Most of all I see myself 

in a more positive light, someone 

who rides a bicycle to work, who is 

really trying to think globally and 

act locally. So far I have only commuted 

to work in daylight and during 

warm months as I admit to an 

aversion to being cold. So that is my 

story and I am sticking to it. 

C.U.: You have been a member 

of the Salt Lake County Bicycle 

Advisory Committee (SLCBAC) 

since it’s inception nearly 3 years 

ago. Has the committee made an 

impact with the county? 

C.K.: Again a very positive Yes! 

Mayor Corroon has been very visible 

at various cycling events during 

his tenure and he has been very supportive 

of the needs of cyclists. He 

has participated in every Bike-to- 

Work day since he took office, and 

had the county host the bike-to-work 

day this past May in the absence of 

Salt Lake City’s Mayor Anderson. 

The county has been a sponsor 

of the Josie Johnson ride and the 

mayor has been in attendance at 

this annual event. He also attended 

the Bike-4-Kids fundraiser event 

where 1000 bikes were given away 

to needy children. He has attended a 

SLCBAC meeting and his administration 

is receptive to ideas and programs 

to increase bicycling and the 

environment in which we ride. 

C.U.: What is the main issue the 

County can do to enhance cycling 

as a means of transportation? What 

would you do if you were “Mayor” 

for a day? 

C.K: Remember, the county only 

has municipal powers over the unincorporated 

portion of the county. 

Partnering with other entities (cities) 

to enhance bicycle transportation 

seems to be the most effective way 

to get countywide enhancements 

accomplished. If I had a magic wand 

I would make “Complete Streets” 

the policy and law of the county. I 

see our most critical need in eastwest 

corridors. 

C.U.: Why should cyclists attend the 

SLCBAC meetings? 

C.K.: Speaking to each individual 

bicyclist out there, I would say 

it is only important if YOU want 

your voice heard. If you have an 

issue, present it to the committee. 

The SLCBAC is a rather diverse 

group, though mostly recreational 

and commuter cyclists. However, 

that diversity can be a strength, our 

unifying voice being the SLCBAC. 

Otherwise we will just be seen an 

individual cyclists and not taken 

quite as seriously. 

C.U.: What is the environment like 

riding to the county complex? 

C.K.: There are a number of coworkers 

that ride to work, some 

nearly daily. We have a shower and 

changing facility, indoor parking and 

an accepting attitude from management. 

Can’t ask for much more than 

that. There used to be 2 bikes per 

bike rack, but I now see 4 or 5. 

C.U.: What are you riding to work 

on and should others follow your 

example? 

C.K.: I don’t know if others would 

want to ride a slow-riding 20-year 

mountain bike with racks, fenders, 

and fat semi-slick tires, but it works 

for me. The advantages are comfort 

and reliability; no breakdowns and 

only one flat in the entire time I 

have been commuting. Absolutely 

no style points for this bike! 

C.U.: Any final thoughts? 

C.K.: I would like to ask all the 

other cyclists out there to have fun 

out there on the roads when they 

ride to work. Wave to each other, 

say “Hi”; smile! Currently I get 

about half of the cyclists I see wave 

back or say “on your left” when 

passing. (Given my slow speed, I 

have a lot of people passing me). 

I’m the old guy in a funky fluorescent 

orange vest so if you see me 

wave and say hi! 

C.U.: Thanks Charlie and hopefully 

you will see more people at the 

SLCBAC meetings which are held 

at 5 PM on the 2nd Monday of each 

month in the North County building 

(2100 South and State) room 4010. 

More information on SLCBAC can 

be found at slcbac.org.

Awards from page 3 

tireless work, we name Jason Bultman as our Bicycle 

Advocate of the Year. 

Nisie Van de Kamp (Ivory Homes) won 10 road 

events this year on her way to convincingly winning the 

overall Utah Cycling Association Points Series. She won 

criteriums and road races, and participated throughout 

the season. Nisie is our Female Road Racer of the Year. 

Burke Swindlehurst (Navigators) had a great year 

both locally and nationally. He won a stage at Cascade, 

was 4th in the USA Cycling Pro Championships road 

race, fourth overall in the Tour of Utah, and third overall 

at the Tour of the Gila. Locally, he finished second in 

the UCA points series, winning the Tour de Gap and the 

Gate City Grind Stage Races. Burke is our Male Road 


Pete Hoogenboom set out on his Dream Tour (thedreamtour.org) 

this year in order to show that having 

diabetes does not mean that one has to give up his 

dreams. He rode 9774.6 miles in 217 days through all 

of the lower 48 states. Pete is our Touring Rider of the 

Year. 

The Bikes for Kids Ride and Event (bikes4kidsutah. 

org) was a rousing success. The ride, dinner, and auction 

raised enough money ($80,000) to give 1007 bikes 

to 1007 kids. The kids were each given a bike, a helmet, 

and bike safety tips. Bikes for Kids is our Touring 

Event of the Year. 

The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah was in the national 

bike racing spotlight for one week in early August. This 

year’s highly successful event brought the best riders in 

the country together to compete in Utah’s beautiful and 

challenging mountains. The event was so successful, it 

was named to the UCI calendar and the new USAC Pro 

Tour for 2007. The Tour of Utah is our Road Race of 

the Year. 

The Deer Valley NORBA National returned to Utah 

this year. The event brings top notch organizing, challenging 

courses, and the nation’s best mountain bikers 

together to slug it out over four days. Locals and seasoned 

pro’s alike compete on the epic courses of Deer 

Valley. The Deer Valley NORBA is our Mountain Bike 

Race of the Year. 

The Salt Lake Bicycle Collective (www.slcbikecollective.org) 

runs on one gear. Fast. In a few short 

years, they have put together an organization that helps 

put more people on bikes and makes it safer and easier 

to ride for those that already have two wheels underneath 

them. Ever present at the Farmer’s Market, they 

parked bikes for those that chose to ride. They work 

with Youth City and help kids Earn-a-Bike. And recently, 

in partnership with UDOT, they began the Bicycle 

Education Program – designed to educate individuals on 

safe riding. They have worked with YouthCity, Navajo 

Santa, the International Rescue Committee, Odyssey 

House, and The Road Home. Driven by volunteers, the 

Collective also operates a shop where bikes and lives 

are refurbished. Oh, and those volunteers mostly wreak 

havoc on singlespeeds. The Salt Lake City Bicycle 

Collective is our Road Club of the Year. 

The Color Country Cycling Club is a mainstay of 

cycling in Central Utah. This year, the club worked on 

the Three Peaks Trailhead, donating $500 and many 

hours of work in the 5000 acre recreation area. They 

have been involved with trail planning at Three Peaks 

since 1998. The club also did trail work on the Bunker 

Creek Trail in Brian Head to control unauthorized ATV 

use. They provided support for both the Brian Head 

NORBA, and the Brian Head Epic 100. They are an 

IMBA Mountain Bike Patrol Club and provide support 

at Interbike. Their club members have logged 4181 

dirt miles this year on club rides. The Color Country 

Cycling Club is again our Mountain Bike Club of the 

Year. 

Thanks again for another great year of cycling in 

Utah. We are glad to be part of your community and 

look forward to seeing you out on the roads and trails. 

Peace. 

Cyclist Dies in Hit and Run 

On September 20th at 11:40 p.m., Bap Akol Deng Bap was riding 

home from his job at Black Diamond when he was hit from behind and 

killed by an automobile allegedly driven by Pedro Sosa-Avilias – this 

according to Lt. Paul Jaroscak of the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s office. 

The accident occurred on 3900 S. and 1700 E. Sosa-Avilias turned himself 

in the next day and was charged with negligent homicide and leaving 

the scene of an injury accident. “The impact was tremendous. There was 

a tremendous amount of damage to the car,” said Jaroscak. The cyclist 

was not wearing a helmet, but apparently did have working lights. The 

helmet likely would not have made a difference given the force of the 

impact. Bap was well liked at his job. He had no immediate family in 

Utah, but leaves behind relatives in the East and a brother in Canada. 

According to the Salt Lake District Attorney’s Office, as of November 

2, 2006, no formal charges had been filed. The case is still being 

screened and it is unknown when this might occur. 

According to Carrie Stewart of Black Diamond, Bap did assembly 

in manufacturing. He rode to work the time. He was well liked 

and a devout Catholic. He attended daily mass at the Cathedral of the 

Madeleine. Bap was a refugee from Sudan and had only been with Black 

Diamond for three months before the accident. The 36 year old had lived 

in Utah for several years. He had a degree in Economics and was trying 

to return to Sudan. 

Boise’s Armstrong Wins World TT Title 

Salzburg, Austria (September 20, 2006)-Kristin Armstrong (Boise, Idaho/ 

Team Lipton) became the third elite women's world time trial champion 

in American history Wednesday with a 25.57-second win over twotime 

defending champion Karen Thurig of Switzerland while teammate 

Christine Thorburn (Menlo Park, Calif./Webcor-Platinum) won the bronze 

medal. 

Armstrong clocked a winning time of 35 minutes, 4.89 seconds over 

the 16.23 mile course to beat Thurig, winner of the last two world titles. 

One of the pre-race favorites coming off of a win at the Euregio Tour 

in the Netherlands, Armstrong suffered a slight mishap early on as she 

dropped her chain on the second of three climbs on the course. It was a 

slight setback that lost her an estimated ten seconds, but motivated her to 

remain calm and focused.
