Marty: For 26 days. We're scheduled to do two Pro-Am one days before we do the Bergamasca. Bergamasca is 10 days long. And during the first two weeks we'll do as much regional racing as we can. As soon as we get there, we'll ask around and get engaged in any racing we can do. But the two Pro-Ams are already setup. Just preparation for the Bergamasca. The first is the Milano-Tortona, then the Polle S. Martino and the Settimann Bergamasca. cu: Here's a map of the Tour DuPont race course. Are you going to race there? Marty: Oh, yea we're going to do tiie Tour DuPont. I'm supposed to be the team leader for that race. I'm supposed to be the GC man. We'll see, I've just got to come back on form. But I should do well. cu: You won pretty handily yesterday (SLIC series March 20). Marty: Well, yea. I don't know how to describe die difference in racing. cu: Well, like you were saying yesterday you would have raced 100 miles yesterday instead of 35 miles. Marty: Yea exacdy. I mean, at this time of year I would have come in, luckily, if I was in me top 20. Lucky! Talking about the races over there, they're all national races over mere. You could find easier racing but I always went for the nationals and pro open races. cu: Carmichael has been bumped upstairs hasn't he? Marty: He's the National Director. So Jiri Mainus is the coach this year. cu: Do you get a lot of direction from the coaches or do they stay in the sidelines? Marty: No they to do as much as they can. We've had two camps already. Chris Carmichael has given us a pretty extensive training schedule for me whole year. But I have a hard time with that because he's not interacting witii us on a day to day basis. And I mink it's hard for anyone to sit down and put a whole yearly schedule together and expect somebody to follow it. So I think he's tried. But it's hard to do the day to day tiling. In fact I know what I need and that's different what others riders need. So . . . I kind of do my own thing. But they give advice. cu: Have you spent some time at the Olympic Training Center? Marty: Yea, a lot. cu: Has all the sports medicine technol­ogy helped you at all? Marty: No. Zero. If you're hurt or injured, then you need mem. But they help out a little. They going to make sure your bike position is OK. Everyone has their opinion on bike position. But they'll help you if you're way out of whack. cu: But with 21,000 miles under your belt, you pretty much know what your position should be. Don't you ? Marty: Yea. It's true. To be a bike racer, the most important thing is the experience. It's the most valuable thing. But if you have any problems, they can help you. I've been really lucky. Like if you have knee problems, they'll listen closely to things like that. They'll look at your position. If you have any problems, sports medicine will help you. But I've been lucky with that so far. I had knee problems three years ago but I corrected that. Since then, I haven't had any problems. cycling utah Jemison credits Jill Murwin for much of his success while racing in Europe. cu: How did you correct it? With pedal systems? Marty: Yep. Time pedals. One year I had C-Record, toe clip pedals and I got a new pair of shoes and the cleat wasn't set just exactly right. As soon as I got Time pedals, I didn't have any problems. cu: (To Jill) Do you travel around with Marty? Jill: The past three years I have the whole time. He would be in France and I'd come over two months later. I spent six months there and he spent eight. I did everything for him, massages, rent a car, everytiiing. But not this year. Someone's paid to do it. Marty: I got home Tuesday night, took Wednesday off and the last four days I rode a lot, like almost 100 miles a day. And Jill's given me a massage every single day. I just got done wim a massage. As soon as you called, after mat we started doing a massage and got done as soon as you showed up. Jill: I'd cook. Watch if he was too heavy or too thin. Make sure he eats right. That's the really hard tiling. Marty: Jill's really keen on that kind of stuff. Nutrition and things like that. cu: Do you have a college background in that? Jill: No, but I have a lot of experience at that. I've taken a few courses but when I was younger I had an eating disorder that I was in the hospital for. So I have a ton of education on that. And I saw a nutritionist for a long time. I studied it a lot. The same thing with massage. I didn't really know much but I've had them done because I've been around mem. But a friend of ours who works on a pro team in France, he taught me a some things. And Marty's team masseur was at the Tour de France for 10 years. Sort of picked stuff up and Marty can tell what to do. Marty: She's good. She's a better masseur than any the national team has. Jill: He could be biased. (Laughs). Marty: Well nobody else on the national team is happy with any of our masseurs either. Jill: It's hard. I went to the French West Indies with the regional team and did massage. Marty: Jill's been a great part of my success. I don't think I could have done . . . it's true . . . I don't think I would have done as much as I've done without her help. She's done a lot. cu: It's good to have somebody support you ... while you 're off playing games. Marty: Yea, it is because, but it's not playing games. She looks at it as a busi­ness. And it is a business. Jill: I tiiink he was playing around a little at first. I'm pretty strict. We have a computer and I keep track of all the grills Uiat a race is worth. The grills in France show how much the race is worth and really tells what place he got. He used to like coast in if he was top 15.1 keep track of all die money he made and account for it and figure out how much he should be making per week to make it worthwhile. He decides how much he wants to make. Marty: There's real money to be made there at die races. That's how we lived for tiiree years. The first year we had problems because we didn't speak French. So I finally understand when there is a prime because they don't ring a bell in Europe. They talk. OK. Next lap and they're talking, the peloton comes by and tiiey'U say next lap prime or they'll say in two laps a prime. So it took forever. I used to sprint for so many non-primes. (Laughter) I'd just come flying through. Because I'd hear the word prime and that's the only word I understand and I'd say OK it's die next lap and I'd go flying off. But it didn't seem too competitive, people wouldn't start chasing me and I find out I didn't win a prime. And it was real difficult some­times too because I was a foreigner because sometimes they'd give you a prime and sometimes they wouldn't. So even when I started to learn the language I still wasn't sure if I'd get the prime. If Jill was mere, she would talk to die French people about what was going on so she could yell at me "It's die next lap." Jill: Now he speaks French though. Marty: And now there's no problem. I know where die money's at. Jill: We're pretty serious, I'm serious about him adjusting to die national team. They eat out and I usually make all the food from scratch, usually fresh food every day. Marty: Jiri's horrible. Jill: Eating out at fast-food restaurants and don't always have food when they're done racing right away. In France, they would have a sandwich right away. From what I've read, you need food right away. It really makes a difference in their recovery. cu: So you 're saying the national coach isn't a great nutritionist? Marty: Jiri is from Czechoslovakia and he's somewhere around 50. He's a meat and potatoes guy. And I have to imagine him in Czechoslovakia and some guy comes out witii tins slab of meat on a two-pronged fork and slaps it on his plate with some starch. That's his dinner. We're in Redlands and Jiri takes us out for breakfast and he sees Carls Juniors. He says "We stop at Carls Juniors for breakfast." I was just appalled. I was not going into Carls Juniors at 7:30 in the morning. So that was difficult. And tiien for lunch he would also stop at Jack in die Box or McDonalds. Honest to God. He doesn't see any problem witii that. Jill: He's great at other things tiiough. Marty: He is good in a lot of other tilings. Jill: But it's so different in France, nobody really races for fun. They make tiieir living that way, they support their wife and kids tiiat way. Women don't tend to work as much in France as we do here. That's how May, 1993 their economy goes. It's so different here. It's good that Jiri has that Eastern Block mentality. Marty: He's got that strong work ethic which is really good. cu: Then he's different than Chris Carmichael? Marty: I mink so. I didn't spend much time witii Chris Carmichael. He's never been my coach so I don't know what kind of advice he gives. But I'm sure they're different. Jill: There's not as much racing here as in Europe. Marty raced 101 races last year. I was there six months. That's 180 days. He raced a few outside tiiat time frame. But he raced pretty much every other day. Marty: Yea. Like you'd do a five-day stage race. Then take a couple days off. Then do a 10-day stage race. You rack them up pretty quick. It is phenomenal. My schedule last year was pretty close to what a pro schedule would be like. But still, it's anotiier step, anotiier complete step up to the pro level. And I trained full-time with a couple pros who rode for Castorama. It's pretty neat to see the different level, where they're at. And, you know, they taught me a lot. cu: Being 27 years old, do you think being on the national team is pretty much where you're going to end your cycling career? Marty: I hope not. I hope not. cu: Do you think a pro career is still possible? Marty: Yes. It's definitely a possibility. It will depend on how I race this year. Races like the Bergamasca and DuPont or even as late as Nationals and if I make the Worlds team. If I had a bad year at the beginning, but I did well at Worlds which is in August in Norway, then tiiere's still a possibility for a pro contract. In fact, I've talked witii Motorola and they've sent me a real nice letter. I still maintain some kind of communication with them. They're going to be watching me to see what kind of results I get. And . . . that team is a good possibility. Because I've lived in Europe. And live and survive in Europe, they look at that as being a high quality. Because a lot of riders have a hard time there. And the team needs Americans. And there's another possibility with WordPerfect. It's an American company and they don't have an American riding on tiie team. So they may need one. So die possibilities are there. So we'll see. It's not over yet. cu: How long have you been racing? Marty: Seventh year? This will be my seventh year. I was 21 when I first got a bike. And all those guys around here know that, like Steve Johnson, all these guys who have been here forever. I showed up as a 21-year-old and started racing. cu: We heard they gave you a hard time. Marty: They all gave me a hard time. Very, very much so. It was funny, in leaving here and die next guys in line starting getting the abuse. Jill: In France, Marty may not have had as much experience as the other riders but that's no reason to yell at people or hit. Things like that. I was interested in cycling at die same time and tiiey were so rude tiiat I decided I'm never going to do it. And I think it's bad because they need to encourage people. In France they're calmer. Marty: It's very much more professional. There's never any verbal interaction between riders in the peloton. Nobody's yelling at someone else. It does not happen Continued on Page 15 May, 1993 cycling utah A. Timothy Shea powers up a short stretch of slickrock with other Senior Experts is pursuit. Shea placed 36th. Moab Rocks! And we're not talking heavy metal, either Jan Bolland, 51, seems to have a wheel up on Sara Ballantyne, 50, as they begin the hill on the first of three loops. Ballantyne would later put some distance between herself and Bolland and third-place finisher Julie Ingersol. Story and photos by Robert L. Truelsen What was once a white tee shirt is now a subtle maroon color with a pro­nounced ring around the collar. The bottle of Murine is now half full and my white handkerchief looks like modern art. I must have been at the Moab Rocks mountain bike race accompanied by, what seems like a tradition, lots of wind. The race was at the popular Gemini Bridges area outside of Moab. We could see the parking area from about two miles away. Nissans, Toyotas, Chevies, Fords, Volkswagons, you name it. And most of them with roof racks and a wide assort­ment of window stickers proclaiming their allegiance to brands of bikes, components and energy bars. And the people were as varied as the cars. Doctors, lawyers, salesmen, nurses, blue-collar workers, students. All drawn by die magic that Moab offers to off-roaders. The manufacturers were there too. Trek brought its rolling bike shop with bikes available for extended test rides. Rock Shox had technical support. This was a pretty big deal. And people were here to race. Lots of them. The sport classes were the first off the line followed by die beginners. They rode die same course as the pros and experts with one loop instead of the three the big boys and girls would do. Promoter Bob Walker has a class for everyone and does not combine classes except at the start. One person constitutes a racing class in Walker's system. And it seems to work. People have fun at the Utah Fat Tire Series races and that's the emphasis. Mismatched, beat-up people don't come back to races. And a lot of people are coming back to the Utah Fat Tire events. The main events were the Pro/Elite men's and women's classes. Moab is close enough to Durango, the capital of mountain bike racing talent, to draw at least a few big names. Yes, Ned Overend and Bob Roll were here again this year. Missing from the ranks were John Tomac and David Weins. Local racer Martin Stenger was away to Europe for die early season World Cup events as probably are Tomac and the others. Sara Ballantyne and Julia Ingersoll were present in die women's field joined by roadies Jan Bolland (Ritchey-AVCT) and Jeanne Golay (TGI Fridays). Isaac Wilson fixes his flat as the other Senior Experts hit the first hill of the loop. He finished 79th. Bobke led die men into the first loop which would put to good use his full-suspension bike. Utah rider Art O'Conner was in the hunt being in the top five for the first loop. He was just ahead of Overend when tiiey hit die first climb. But tilings would change by the time they came around for the second loop. Roll had flatted on the loop and dropped several places. John Weissenrieder took over the lead and was shadowed by Overend. The two would battle each other to the finish with Weissenrieder taking the win over Overend by six seconds. Roll recovered from his flat and gradually made up ground on tiiose who passed him to finish in third, 13 seconds down. Travis Brown finished fourth followed by Oliver Starr in fifth. This was a big win for the unsponsored Weissenrieder. This may help die former Volkswagon-Schwinn rider snag some sponsorship for the remainder of the season. He was involved witii the proposed team Wheeler was trying to put together earlier in the year. For Overend, second place is unusual for this annual slow starter. Typically he races into shape as the season progresses as evidenced by his late season charge in '92 to win the Jeep National Championship Series. Bob Roll said after the race, "This is a sweet course. You can never let up." Walker added, "If you back off on the easy sections, you'll lose a couple minutes." Bobke said his "bike was great, it worked good." The Durango resident was riding tiie full suspension Pro Flex by Offroad. Of Durango, he said "Everyone lives tiiere. It's like Boulder is to roadies. There are great training rides there. I can ride witii Tomac and Overend." In the women's Pro/Elite race, Sara Ballantyne battled Jan Bolland and Julia Ingersoll in their race that also included three loops. The Mongoose-sponsored Ballantyne gradually put a little dirt between herself and the competition. She finished 24 seconds ahead of Bolland, who edged Ingersoll at the line by one second. Bolland recently got sponsorship for off-road racing from Ritchey while Ingersoll was left high and dry after the Wheeler team fell through due to sponsor­ship failures. Coming in fourth was Mia Stockdale followed by Carol Kaune in fifth. Continued on Page 12 cycling Utah Moab Continued from Page 11 The Senior Expert field had a cast of thousands (well actually 109, but you get the idea). Riding with the seniors was Junior World Champion Jeff Osguthorpe from Sandy. Coming into the first loop climb Jeff was up among the leaders. By the second loop, he was tailing the leader Michael Tobin of Idaho. "I would catch him on the technical stuff, but he'd pull away on the flats. I don't have the power in my legs to go fast on the flats," Jeff said. These two would continue to battle for the remainder of the race with Tobin taking the win by two seconds over Osguthorpe. Mike Skellion finished another three seconds back in third. When asked about the wind roaring down die finish straight, Jeff said "the wind wasn't that bad at the finish. It was the worst during die loop." The Expert women's race was basically a two-up contest between Kris Hansen (Morgul Bismark) and Brooke Motley followed by a quartet over two minutes down. Hansen soloed for the win, nine seconds ahead of Motley. "The course is kind of technical," Kris said. "It's a good pre-season race. The toughest place on the course was the second technical section. I fell there on one lap. There were three of us at a mile and a half," she said. "Then I was alone." Rene Marshman crossed die line in third, two seconds ahead of Fish Trujillo and 11 seconds ahead of Golden Brainard in fifth. Ned Overend made the drive to Moab and placed second. Rob Steinke was the victor in the Veteran Expert class. Twelve seconds behind was Lu Warner followed by Bob Bieterman, Ed Chauner and Skip Hamilton. Jenette Settle won die Veteran Expert women's class over Greta Rovenschlag and Amy Maclean. Jere Lord handily won die Master Expert class over Dale Mabley and Don Mapel. UTAH June 18-26, 1993 CYCLING, TRIATHLON, MOUNTAIN BIKE For Information/Application Pack Call 1 [phone] Utah's Premier Sports Festival Cadillac ride as good as MGold" When I got to the Moab Rocks mountain bike race, the sport class was already on die course and the last group of beginners was at the line ready to shred. Strategically located at die start/ finish line was the Trek truck, a rolling bike shop with tools, mechan­ics and an assortment of suspended mountain bikes ready to be tested by any interested parties. I made a beeline to die truck, leaving my fiance in the dust. (Sorry honey.) I've been wondering about these full-suspension bikes since tiiey hit the market and I just had to take advan­tage of this opportunity. Waving my trusty Gold Card while jumping in the air got their attention. So I quickly signed tiie necessary release forms and off I went. I chose the 18-inch 9200 model with Shimano DX components and improved Rapid Fire shifters, Trek Mogul Black Diamond shock in front, aluminum swingarm in die rear and bar ends. I just wish they had a quick release seat post clamp. Probably just a precaution to keep the seats on the bikes. I was able to take it out for about an hour. I wanted to come down the hill that die racers would be coming down shordy so I started to make my way up the hill. It climbed better than I thought it would. It was heavier than my Reflex Carbon but I was able to climb well and had good control going up die climb. Traction was good and I didn't really sense excessive pogoing until I got out of die saddle to push up a short, steep section. But it certainly wasn't as bad as my first-generation Scott shock, which reminds me of tiiose spring-suspended horses many of us grew up witii. Upon first descent I noticed an obvious Cadillac sensation. This tiling is smooth over the little stuff. I didn't even bother lightening the load on the saddle. I'm beginning to like this. The front shock was nice and firm and offered a solid feel as the going got rough. When I turned around and headed back up the hill I couldn't wait for the descent. Even tiiough I don't bomb downhills like Greg Herbold, I have mucho fun. The full suspension gives plenty of control and provides die rider with the necessary confidence for miles of smiles. I'll have to admit that since the bike wasn't mine (remember, they had my Gold Card) I did hold back a tad on the descent and the bike was new to me so I wasn't "one wim the bike." But all tilings considered, this is a sweet ride for recreational cyclists who justify sweating uphill for miles so they can enjoy the well-deserved downhill. Gravity can be so cool. I heard from Rich Goddard at Guthrie Bicycle tiiat Trek plans to be at the Solitude race and festival in June. So take the opportunity to ride one. And don't forget your Gold Card.

Ward Publisher The premier edition of die BRAU District Criterium Series was held April 10 at me driver's training course of me Department of Public Safety at 4700 South 2780 West. Judging by the reaction of die participants, tiiis promises to be a fun and exciting criterium series. The A group, consisting of Category 1-3 riders, started witii a pack of approximately 20 riders. It only took a few laps, tiianks to the technical course which included 8 turns (6 of which came in rapid succession) to string die field out and set the stage for me inevitable attacks. The two straightaways were simply too short to allow the pack riders to regroup and rest before becoming the victims of additional attacks. The first serious move consisted of Andy Brewer, Schyler Bingham and Darrel Davis. After a couple of laps, Davis could not maintain the break's pace, and started to drift back to the pack. At die same time, Martin Stenger and Chris Rogers bridged to Brewer and Bingham. Wim exception of Bingham, who took a mechanical lap and then subsequentiy abandoned, me winning break was established by tiiese tiiree Brackman Peddler's teammates. Despite Mi Duole's numbers in die chase group, tiiey simply could not match the speed of Stenger, Rogers and Brewer. After several more laps, and working together well, Brewer, Rogers and Stenger caught and lapped die field. However, tiiey were not yet done. Tom Bonacci attacked, and was quickly joined by Rogers and Stenger. This break continued for several laps, but soon Bonacci was gasping for air, and fell off die pace. While Bonacci was dangling between die Stenger-Rogers duo and die main pack, Brewer attacked die field and joined Bonacci. Meanwhile, Stenger and Rogers showed tiieir strength by again lapping die field. At tiiis point, witii Stenger and Rogers two laps up and Brewer one lap up and soloing in front of die main field (Bonacci had dropped back to die pack), the peloton split in two, with the front portion catching Brewer. Stenger and Rogers, apparendy feeling exceptionally strong, attacked again and soon lapped the field a tiiird time. As if to make an exclamation point, Stenger attacked one final time with five laps to go. (Actually, he thought it was me bell lap and was surprised tiiat, instead of winning, he still had five laps left). After a couple of laps, Rogers bridged to Stenger, and they remained out front to die finish, Martin Stenger leads the way through one of the tight turns at the BRAU District Criterium Series course. Photo by Al Kolendo with Rogers winning the sprint. Brewer, who was still one lap up on die field, took third. Levi Leipheimer had attacked die field and soloed in for fourtii, as had Martin Gryger who soloed in for fifth. In die B group, which was joined by several A riders, die field was again split up by the technical course. Jim Gianello launched a solo attack early in the race. After several laps, his teammate Steve Travis bridged, and die two worked togetiier to eventually lap the field. Meanwhile, Jussi Huttumen tried his luck by attacking, and was soon joined by Ron Roy and Chuck Collins. Gianello after lapping die field, attacked again, and caught die second break group, as did Martin Grygar. This group eventually broke up in die last lap, witii Gianello coming in for die win, Travis taking second and Chuck Collins garnering tiiird. UTAH SUMMER GAMES CYCLING EVENTS THURSDAY?

It never happened in a European race. And here it may have started in like this group of four riders from the same team and I'm the lone bone in the group. And they would yell to "pull through." And when you pull through, they yell "pull through harder." Or "don't pull through so hard." It's verbal. That does not exist in Europe. In fact, if there were four guys who I knew were riding together in Europe and I was the fifth guy, I could sit on. I could sit on for 50 miles. They would never say a word, ever. Because they know, you don't have to sit on. They know that. But what they might say, if the peloton was getting close, they might say "Hey, we're going to get caught and maybe you want to help." They're real professional about it. Jill: But they made you so much stronger, you know. (Laughter). Marty: It's true. I had to chase down everything. cu: What team or teams have you been associated with in Utah? Marty: MiDuole. That's it. The whole time. From the day that team started. cu: What was it like living in France? Jill: It's hard to get used to. They almost feel invaded by strange people coming in. I think part of it was the war. I thinks they got really hurt during the war. After our first year there, they were really incredible people. But it's hard to get used to. Life is barely moving there. You just want to run up to them and shake them. Marty: And they have to protect what they have. When new people come over, Americans want to take, take and they want to be served. The French are not willing to give so easily. But after our first year there, once you're a part of the family and they see from your heart, that's important to them, feelings and stuff. Once they see you have a desire to be a bike racer and you're serious about it, then the family accepts you and they'll do anything for you. They'll give you anything. They give more than I've ever seen like in an American situation. They give so much. I can see how it's hard on people going to Europe. Jill: There's no eating out. No oriental food, Mexican food, it's just French food. There are no laundermats. You wash your clothes in the sink and hang them out. Marty: You have to be really modest. You have to be modest and be willing to change. Someone that's a little timid, shy and modest will survive in Europe. But someone aggressive and flamboyant will not survive in Europe. Those characters will rub real hard against the French people. Jill: Plus you don't speak French. So you don't have anyone to talk to. Marty: Paris can be a horrible experience when you go through there if you don't speak French. That's a first year experi­ence. Two years later and you can speak French, even if you can only speak half the language. As long as you're trying and they realize you can speak some French, they'll do anything for you. They'll give you directions to anything. Or they'll help you out. But if you show up and you can't speak French and you're a tourist they're not going to do anything for you. They'll send you in the wrong direction just for a kick. They're a tough people. cycling utah San Rafael Fat Tire Festival Now this is a desert worth getting to know By Robert L. Truelsen Editor The festival season is upon us and the fun started with the San Rafael Swell Fat Tire Festival April 23-25. The event kicked off Friday after­noon with a short ride from Price to the mountain hamlet of Kenilworth. That night participants were pro­vided with a carbo-load spaghetti dinner compliments of Teddy's private club. This festival is organized by Carbon County Recreation with some help from their friends in the Wild Bunch. They provide rides that cater to all abilities. I was a ride leader for the Twin Knolls single track advanced ride but those who rode the loop didn't need anyone to show them the way. Into the ride I would only admit to be the "alleged" ride leader. I relied on Steve Jones of Price for his help with the route. I had ridden the loop last year but my memory of the ride was fuzzy. I was concentrating on the wild single track (and staying upright in SPD pedals, my first ride in them. BIG mistake.) I biffed so many times it was an embarrass­ment. I went with toe clips this year. Saturday evening featured an excellent dutch oven dinner of beef ribs, chicken, rice and salad followed by cake and berry icing. The food line included many going back for seconds. It was so good racer/promoter Ron Lindley went back to get the pot scrapings. Afterward the prize drawing took place and the grand prize was a set of Rock Shox donated by Desert Rock Cycle. A case of waterbottles was also donated by Great Outdoors of Price. As the cold north wind blew, participants gathered around the campfire to listen to the desert lore of Layne Miller before retiring to tents, campers and the bare ground. On Sunday, gone was the unsettled weather and cold wind that harassed riders on Saturday. Deep blue skies and warmer temperatures provided a perfect day to enjoy the swell. Those who decided to stay home because it was raining in Salt Lake, well, you really missed it. At first I had planned to go to Little Wild Horse Canyon bike and hike but at the last minute decided to ride Black Dragon, a ride I've wanted to do for years. But changing plans at the last minute meant that I missed the shuttle to the parking area. So I parked at the mouth of Black Dragon and rode up the canyon. This couldn't have worked out any better. The ascent is gradual with only a few spots that required the granny. This allowed me to really enjoy the beauty of the rounded cliffs at the mouth of the dragon and the view up the canyon was nothing short of spectacular. If I had Rose Liddiard of Price leads the way for husband Mark down Black Dragon Canyon in the San Rafael. blasted down the canyon witii the others, I would have missed it all. If you're interested in this ride, the parking area we used was just before the rest area after the Hanksville exit on 1-70 going west. Park in the area as the road does an S turn (this is just a couple of hundred yards from the Interstate). Unload and ride down the roaduntil it forms a Y and continue to the left. This takes you straight into the San Rafael Reef and the mouth of Black Dragon. Now decide how far you want to ride, turn around and enjoy the power of gravity. Yeehaw!

The two-day event featured both road and mountain bike race, along with road and mountain bike tours. The road course was appropriate for an early-season race: a ten-mile rectangular circuit with a mod­erate one-mile hill on one side and a one-mile stretch to the finish on the other side, featuring another moderate hill. The typical warm, Spring temperatures and sun­shine usually found in Grand Junction were not in evidence for the April 24 road event. The weather was a smorgasbord of wind, clouds, sun, rain and more wind. The ever-changing wind, especially, was an important factor in a race that had no major climbs to string out the riders. I witnessed the Senior Men's 45+ race first hand, right down to the protracted quad-cramping sprint. Two of the pre-race favorites were perennial Masters winner Jim Smith of Boulder and mountain bike powerhouse Mark Fuller of Grand Junction. Both riders rolled to the line with support from two teammates each. Smith clicked in and went on a flyer from the start of the 50-mile race, dangling 300 yards in front of the group for most of the first lap. The host team pushed the pace just hard enough to absorb Smith, who later said he wanted to set the tone for the race. The aggressive local team, spurred on by the crowd, started attacking on the second lap. Curiously, they would send the same rider out until he had to rest in the pack. Most of the counter-attacks were tentative, as riders realized early on that, under these conditions, the race would be decided in a sprint. On this second lap, Joe Pust, 1992 Utah Summer Games Silver Medalist, and one of the few Utah riders, was unceremoniously spit out the back. Joe said he had trouble breathing due to a bad cold. By the halfway point, two distinct trends had developed. With only six riders surviving the attacks and the wind, the two remaining West Slope Wheelmen, promoter Dave George and Mark Fuller, increased the frequency of their frenzied attacks. At the same time, Ride 'em Cowboys riders Bill Coffin and Jim Smith were tactically correct by system­atically covering all breaks. This was not an easy task considering the intervals inflicted upon us by a very fit Fuller. He paid the price for his efforts and sat at the back for the last lap and a half. The attacks picked up as die wind increased and a drizzle came on the next-to-last lap. The two remain­ing Cowboys and Wheelmen continuously attacked each other wiUi Jim Smith and Dave George appearing die most active. George launched more dian a dozen short, intense attacks during these last two laps, often going off the front into 25-mile-per-hour westerly winds. He couldn't hope to get away, but it appeared his efforts were meant to wear down die sprinters. The rest of the six-man group responded, but diere were few serious counters. Wim five miles to go, it was finally apparent to all six riders diat no one would be soloing to victory today. Widiout any dropped riders in sight, die pace slackened. With half a click to go, George made his move on the right into a strong crosswind. Smith responded on the left, with an opportunistic Scarpelli in tow. The three riders opened up a large gap, sat up and rolled over the line. The chilly, wet weather caused all three riders to complain of leg cramps during die long, uphill sprint. Jim Smidi won decisively, wim Dave George taking second and myself taking diird.

Hopefully, more Utah riders will make the drive for next year's Desert Spring Cycle Fest. Editor's note: Paul Scarpelli is a former track rider from Illinois who rides for Salt City Racing Team. A moderate hill for Paul is an interstate overpass. Don't ever ask him for a leadout and don't bother to challenge him in a sprint.
