All proceeds of the May 22 event went to the MBAC for the continued devel­opment of bicycle paths through­out the city.Despite a hard rain prior to the delayed start, as evi­denced by the huge puddle above, the skies cleared mak­ing the ride a great success. Bi­cyclists challenged motorists in the Non-polluting Commuting Race (left) on May 18. Skylere Bingham bested the X96 team van in the contest from Liberty Park to down town by way of the Hot U. Now commuters will want tri-spokes to get them to work faster. Even Mayor Dee Dee Corradini got into the act for the Mayor's Bike to Work Day on May 17. cycling Utah June. 1993 Trail Etiquette It's as important as a patch kit and tire pump on your next ride The snow is finally melting its way to the reservoirs and the mountain trails are becoming accessable to mountain bikes. For the good of the sport and future access to existing trails, we have to talk about trail etiquette and trail use. If you think that trails will always be there for us, you'd better think again. One bad experience encountered by a trail user or manager has a way of becoming the only experience they remember. Mountain biking is a relatively new recreational sport that was allowed to grow unchecked until it's impact made non-cyclists and land managers take notice. In some cases trails have been closed to mountain bikes and threats of more closures loom in the future. Concerned cyclists have formed trail access organiza­tions committed to the creation and management of trails. Utah has its own organization, the Utah Mountain Bike Association or UMB A for short. We have to regard our use of public lands as a privilege instead of a right. With this privilege comes a responsibility to reduce our impact upon the land and promote our sport as a responsible one. There are numerous pamphlets and publications available to us offering helpful tips and guidelines for trail use. The BLM and U.S. Forest Service offer excellent, free publications that should be standard reading for all trail users. UMB A also has a single sheet checklist of off-road trail use that is a must read. Let's go over the most important points discussed in these publications. We have to reduce our impact upon existing trails. We can do this by avoiding locking our wheels and skidding along trails. Carry our bicycles over obstacles in a trail instead of making new paths around objects. Avoid blasting through mud puddles or muddy sections of trails. Instead, dismount and walk the bike around these sections. Walk to a viewpoint instead of leaving the trail to ride to it. Your tracks will encourage others to follow thus creating a new trail. Each of these instances alone may seem trivial but remember there are many trail users. It is imperative that we all chip in and help preserve the trails. We also have a responsibility to respect other trail users. Be courteous. This is most evident in areas like the trail to Dog Lake in Millcreek Canyon and Mueller Park in Bountiful. Hikers have the right of way so slow down. Too often I have witnessed cyclists enjoying their ride down the single track at the expense and safety of hikers and equestrians. It takes only seconds to slow down and stop for these trail users to let them pass. Make your approach from behind known to others. And it wouldn't hurt to include a smile and pleasant greeting when you encounter others. Equestrians require extra care because horses can spook easily. When approach­ing head-on, pull off the trail and let the horse pass. Don't make sudden movements or loud noises. Bob Walker, promoter of the Utah Fat Tire Series, even takes his helmet off so the horse can see that it is a man. Horses don't connect helmets with man and he is convinced this calms the horse. Walker feels we should be extra careful with the horse crowd because of their political clout. If you don't think politics figure in land use issues, you'd better get your head out of the sand. When encountering other cyclists on the trail, dowhill riders should yield to uphill cyclists. Be considerate of novice riders. Their bike skills may not be as refined as yours so give them some space. 9U.ER/ 94 West 1st North Moab, Utah 84532 259-5333 While on the trail, be prepared for anything. Be ready to stop in an instant for hikers or even wild animals. Watch blind corners. Always wear a helmet. While providing protection it also sends a message to other users that the cyclist is responsible and safety minded. Ride consistently around corners and avoid losing traction uphill. This needless skidding and spinning only causes further soil erosion and it shows poor form and sloppy technique on top of it. Do not ride around waterbars that are placed across trails to prevent erosion. Always ride in small groups. Keep your numbers at five or less. As far as where to ride your mountain bike, there is a simple rule: Stay on the path. Ride only on open roads and trails. Riding cross country is destructive and leaves an obvious track that invites others to ride along it. Cryptogamic soil is Nature's way of preventing soil erosion. This is the black, lumpy crust common in the desert and is a self-sustaining biological unit made up of mosses, algae, lichen and fungus. This soil requires little nutrition and grows on barren ground. It provides nitrogen enriching qualities that prepare the soil for future plant communities. A mature garden of this soil may have taken 50 to 100 years to develop. Tire tracks and foot prints are devastating to this fragile soil and remain for many years. Also avoid water pockets in slickrock. These provide important habitat for fragile, short-lived desert wildlife. Avoid the temptation to ride through streams. The silt you stir up riding through the water can suffocate aquatic animals and the eggs they produce. Know the status of the trails in the area you are riding. You can't assume that a trail is open to bicycles because signs are often vandalized. Get permission from private land owners to ride on their property. Wilderness areas are off-limits to all vehicles, including mountain bikes. cycling tit ah ©cycling utah, 1993 P.O. Box 57156 Salt Lake City, UT 84157 [phone] David R. Ward - Publisher Robert L.

Trail maintenance is neces­sary for all trail users. As cyclists, we should work together and with other trail use groups to maintain, improve and create trails. Volunteer to help with trail mainte­nance projects. Consider forming a mountain bike club or committee within your current cycling club, if it doesn't already have one. Land managers listen to representatives of organizations. Last, but certainly not least, is an important consideration recently reported on in the media. Pack out what you pack in. We have to avoid situations that occurred over Easter weekend at Moab's Slickrock Trail. Campers overran the area, far exceeding site limits, and left in their wake tons of garbage. And to illustrate the story was a photograph with mountain bikers riding the slickrock. This is the worst kind of publicity our sport can receive. Be aware of our impact. There are literally millions of acres of public land. There is nothing wrong with having fun on these lands. But it is wrong if it is at the expense of others while damaging the land in the process. We owe it to our sport to ride responsibly. READER'S FORUM Some help for an informed vote for USCF board slot Dear USCF members: All USCF members in Utah recently received a ballot for the 1993 USCF Board of Directors elections. Included in the ballot is a brief statement by three candi­dates which is supposed to help us make our decisions. For most of us, this is the first, and probably last, thing that we have heard from these individuals, making it difficult to make an informed decision. The result is that most of us will probably not mail in our ballot. Through the wonder of computer technology, I have had the opportunity over the last 2-3 years to find out quite a bit about one candidate, Les Earnest. Les provides comments on the Internet computer network regarding a wide range of topics related to bike racing and the USCF. He have been associated with the USCF for a number of years and is a very active official in California. After reading his Position Statement, I contacted him regarding a number of issues that he did not cover. These in­cluded district representation, the focus of the USCF on elite vs. popular programs and the situation with Junior racing. For the most part, I am impressed with his commiunent and feel that he is genu­inely interested in promoting cycling in the U.S. He is very outspoken and tends to irritate some people. At the same time I'm convinced that there isn't some hidden agenda. My interest in this is just to pass along some information since I have found it difficult in the past to make a very in­formed decision about USCF elections. Darrell R. Davis Editor's note: There are four candidates vying for one seat to the Board from the West Section. Your ballot must be postmarked no later than June 15, 1993 and must have a signature to be valid. June, 1993 cycling utah High-stakes racing at the Borderline Stage 2 of the Utah Fat Tire Series adds road races to the '93 event By Robert L. Truelsen Editor The ads on TV tell us to "Come to the border!" What usually happens is that we put our money down at the tables, enjoy the entertainment and put our money into the one-arm bandits. But on the weekend of April 30 thru May 2, bicycle racers put their talent and riding skills on the starting lines of the Wendover Bordertown Bike Challenge. Added attractions this year were two road racing events: a downtown criterium and a road race. The Bordertown Chal­lenge is the second experiment by the Utah Fat Tire Series to encourage crossover participation by roadies and the knobby crowd. And the experiment is showing some success. The mountain events were back and the Mountain Bike Criterium kicked off the weekend Friday evening. This is a wild 1 1/2 mile loop that starts and finishes at the USA Visitors Center in the downtown area. Despite the Friday scheduling, 106 racers participated. Promoter Ron Dillon scheduled all the events so that racers could race each event, on and off-road. And the roadies were present. Ryan Littlefield (Bagel Peddlers) made to mountain bike racing by winning the Senior Sport criterium over Chuck Austin. Ryan's road teammate Tom Meiser pulled down third place. These three riders , battled for five laps with less than 10 seconds separating each racer from the other. Jan Skunik crossed the line in fourth just over 30 seconds down on Meiser. Guy Costley was fifth, nearly a minute down. The high-stakes players were next. The Pro/Elite and Expert Men raced for six laps. On the second lap the leaders began to slow a little and Chris Fox went to the front. "I just went my own pace," Chris said after the race. "No one else wanted to go that fast." Fox held onto his lead for the remainder of the race and won by 12 seconds ahead of Nuttle McBeth. Ten seconds later Eric Jones (Peregrin Cycle) crossed the line in third followed by Todd Tanner and Jeff Osguthorpe (Specialized). It was a satisfying win for tiie former Klein racer. "I've been sick since Mon­day," Fox said. "I hope to do good tomorrow" (referring to the cross country event Saturday morning.) Currently sponsored by Nuke Proof, Fox talked of his deal gone sour with Klein. "I had a three-year contract with Klein," he said. "But they reneged on the deal probably due to the fines the company had to pay (referring to EPA fines the company has been fighting recently). They only sponsor two pros this year." Fox was partially sponsored by Nuke Proof last year and the company stepped in for the same deal Chris had with Klein for '93. Jeff Osguthorpe commented on his race that "it's not my style. I can't motor on the flats." Art O'Conner was the top Pro/Elite racer with David Golden placing second. Lisa Sher put nearly a minute on Sherry Olden in the Women's Expert race. Betsey Speigel was third. The women raced with the Senior Sport men and did five circuits. The main event is the Bordertown Chris Fox moves around Art O'Conner in the Mountain Bike Criterium on his way to winning the Expert class. David Golden gets airborne on his way to a share of the fastest time in the Downhill. He won the Expert Senior Men category. Challenge Cross Country. This is a tough, rocky course guaranteed to produce plenty of snake bite flats (this is a first-hand account from a year ago) made more interesting with a new single-track section thrown in three-quarters of the way into the long, grinding climb out of town. Beginners and Sport classes made one 15-mile loop with the Pro/Elite and Expert racers doing two loops. Jeff Osguthorpe served notice to expert riders in the state by winning the 2- lap race with over a one minute gap on second place finisher Eric Jones. "There were three of us together on the first climb," Jeff said. "Then I was able to ride away from them on the second lap. But I could always see them (Eric Jones and Chris Fox)." "I liked the course," Jones said. "Lots of climbing and challenging. On the first part of the climb on the second lap, I passed Chris Fox." Eric held on for second and Brad Karren overtook Fox for third. Milton McBeth crossed the line in fifth. Melanie Hare won the Women's Expert race with nearly a 10-minute gap on Anita Merback. Betsey Spiegel came in third seven minutes later. Ron Lindley (Fish Lipz) narrowly won the Veteran Expert race over a fast-finishing Dan Daigh. On the second lap Lindley passed a dismounted Ed Chauner, who was leading at that point, on one of the descents. He thought "all right, I don't have to worry about him" assuming Chauner flatted. As it turned out Chauner had biffed hard. "I put a lot of air in my rear tire to avoid a puncture," he said, "and I hit something and the bike just went. I didn't have time to react." After riding in he complained of severe pain in his leg. It was thought that his leg was broken but later turned out to be a deep bruise. Todd Henneman won the Pro/Elite race with Dan Graves coming in second and Art O'Conner third. Robynn Masters (PCCC) won the Women's Pro/Elite over Cyndi Schwandt. Jalayne Edwards took the win in the Women's Senior Sport race over Kathryn Fisher and Karoline Droege. Steve Briley (PCCC) won the Men's Senior Sport in a close race over Chuck Austin. The margin of victory was five seconds. In third was Blake Maxfield. Briley, a Cat IV road racer, said it was a fun course. "I knew where everyone was at first until we caught the experts." Austin settled for another second place after placing second in the dirt criterium. The final dirt event was the Wendover Peak Downhill. The course was extended for '93 to about 1 1/2 miles. Racers descended on the most demanding sections of the course during the cross country. David Golden smoked the course in 2:33 for the fastest time in the Expert class. Golden was impressive, catching air at the jump after the compression midway on the course. After touchdown he maintained his speed through the tricky turns at the bottom of the jump and along the sweeping burm further along the section. Todd Tanner shared the fastest time, with Golden, to win die Pro/Elite class. Next fastest was Isaac Wilson to place second in Men's Senior Expert with a time of 2:42. Jan Karpiel won the Men's Senior Sport category with a time of 2:43. Andru Firth won the Men's Senior Beginner category with a time of 2:46. There were several crashes at the compression section of the course but the riders shook off the mishaps and either continued their run or packed it in. A junior gave organizers a scare by crashing big-time and knocking himself uncon­scious. Medical personnel were able to revive and stabilize him for the road uip to a Salt Lake hospital where he was exam­ined and released. Someone said "he was hell bent for leather" on the descent. Road events were new for '93. Things got rolling Saturday with the criterium. Starting at the USA Visitors Center tiie course went along the main street, around the Nevada Crossing casino and turning at the Red Garter. The course connected with another road that led back to the visitor center. Good course marshalling was needed at the Nevada Crossing casino which also has a major truck stop. David Golden won the Cat 4 race ahead of the Breiter brothers Steve and David (Alpine Velo). Jeff Sargent finished fourth followed by Rik Tykwinski (Utah Continued on Page 4 cycling utah June, 1993 Wendover Continued from Page 3 Premier) in fifth. Jalayne Edwards won the Women's event over Brook Jardine (Northshore). Brook said after the race, "I rode kind of a stupid race. I led out and got passed at the finish." She was philosophical about it, "I went to school today." The Cat 1-3 race saw an early two-man break of Skylere Bingham (Northshore) and Burke Swindlehurst (Bagel Peddlers). "Burke was the only one willing to work with me," Bingham said. Bingham has seen this scenario too often already this season as Jeff Wyatt (Bagel Peddlers) soon bridged up to them. "I didn't put the hammer down," Swindlehurst said. "I knew a teammate was coming up." "I was watching the Bagelheads," Bingham said after the race, "and sat up to wait for Mike (Henson PCCC)." Henson had left the peloton to chase the three-man break. "I was glad to see him," Bingham said. Now with four pair of legs to share the work the break was able to stay away the rest of the race. "The corners were bad enough that the pack had to ride slow through the corners," Swindlehurst recounted. "We (the break) could take them any way we wanted." Tiiere were several attempts to bridge by Ryan Littlefield and Andy Brewer (Bagel Peddlers) and Levi Leipheimer (Mi Duole) but none were able to close the gap. In the final stretch, Wyatt led out the sprint hoping for Swindlehurst to jump on his wheel but Henson was the opportunist and wound out his winning sprint ahead of Swindlehurst. Wyatt held onto tiiird with Bingham inches behind in fourth. "I hesitated half a second when Wyatt went," Swindlehurst said. "I didn't make it up. But I was the person least thought of to do well. I've been sick the last month." Henson said shortly after upgrading to Cat 2 after the Tour of St. George, where he finished second overall, that the fun was over. "I feel pretty good now," he said during the cool down lap. "At Moab I was in a break with Bob Roll and Ned Overend. That was fun." The road race was the final event and was held after the mountain bike downhill. Organizers allowed a number of racers to race the downhill course early to allow them time to get to the road race venue. Jeff Osguthorpe, Eric Jones, David Golden, Betsey Spiegel and Anita Merback were among those who went racing on skinny tires. The Cat 4-5 racers were feeling very strong in the road race. Along the barren wasteland on Alternate Highway 93 south of Wendover, the lead group caught the Cat 3 racers on the first hill going out to the turnaround. Steve Breiter (Alpine Velo) said "we worked hard to catch the 3's. We split at the 15-mile mark on the hill before the turnaround." Brad Karren (Team Flower Children) agreed, "going out was fast.

After the turnaround, racers had to deal with headwinds. Being in a group was imperative to share the workload. The hard effort paid off for the lead group of 4's and it was decided in a fast group sprint. Breiter scored the win over Karren by inches. Ray Tetreault (Team Flower Children) placed third just ahead of Kory Gillette (Utah Premier) and Dirk Corby (PCCC). Jill Wilkerson (Utah Premier) handily won the Women's race with a solo effort. "It was a 20-mile road race and a 30-mile time trial," she said. "Good practice for the District time trial. I broke away 5 miles before the turnaround on the first climb. I caught up with a couple riders but they both exploded." Brook Jardine (Northshore) got another second coming in ahead of Kathryn Fisher, Jalayne Edwards and Anita Merbach. Martin Grygar (SCRT) won the Junior event over Jeff Osguthorpe (Specialized), Richard Wheeler, Mike Ward and Jussi Huttenen (Utah Premier). The finish of the Cat 1-2 race turned •into a chess match with Levi Leipheimer (Mi Duole) and Burke Swindlehurst (Bagel Peddlers) both using feigned attacks until the final 200 meters when Leipheimer outsprinted Swindlehurst. An elated Leipheimer said after the race "I wasn't feeling so good at first. I was just hanging on during the first hill." "Don't believe what he says," piped fourth place finisher Jeff Wyatt (Bagel Peddlers). "Three of us got away at the end," Leipheimer said. "Skylere Bingham had a good bridge up to us. The others said it was nobody we wanted to wait for and we started hammering. He still caught us." "With three miles to go we got away," Swindlehurst said. This move set up the final two-up sprint. The favorable response to the two-discipline style of race weekend will hopefully encourage promoters to continue the practice of offering road and mountain events.

Call BRAU INFO-line 263-4044 ext. 7725 for current race information June, 1993 cycling utah A brief history of the BBTC Cycling and touring is a way of life for these fun seekers By David R. Ward Publisher As a devoted racer, one of the pleasant introductions for me this year in publishing cycling utah has been getting to know and occasionally riding with the Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club (BBTC). BBTC has been around for fifteen years now, orga­nized in October, 1977 and incorporated in April, 1988. Since then, it has led the way in organized bicycle touring in Utah. The Bonneville Wheelmen, as the club was first known, began its existence with eight members. Two of those members were Pat and Dick Hanson who became involved with cycling in 1973 when their son bought a 10-speed bike. They soon joined a racing club, and through this club they met other people who more interested in touring than racing. Though they initially tried to organize a touring group within the racing club, it became apparent that the two did not mix . For the next few years, this small group tried to get others interested in bicycle touring by organizing show-and-go rides and by distributing and posting ride descriptions in businesses. These activities finally led to the organization and incorpo­ration of the Bonneville Wheelmen. Two years later, when female members of the club objected to being called "wheelmen", the name was changed to the Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club. Since that time, BBTC has been steadily growing, with its membership presently at almost 300 people. Present membership, while mainly in the Wasatch Front, extends throughout Utah with some members living out of state. Additionally, contrary to competitive cycling, BBTC attracts a large number of women cyclists, accounting for almost 50% of its present membership. BBTC has continued its principle activity of organizing bike rides. A review of BBTC's monthly newsletter (as well as cycling Utah's Calender of Events) reveals numerous rides, divided into five catego­ries based on average anticipated speed and an additional five categories based on terrain. A person can know in advance what the tempo and terrain will be. BBTC members are also very much involved in promoting bicycling and in volunteering with cycling activities. Because of their involvement and willing­ness to help, their assistance is often sought by others. For example, BBTC led a family ride event during the Cycle Salt Lake Week and helped organize and run the American Investment Bank Century A Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club was instrumental in getting the Antelope Island Causeway opened for the American Investment Bank Century on May 22. ride to benefit the Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee. If a person is interested in doing some serious touring, BBTC's newsletter also lists major touring events it organizes as well as of other major events from around the country. It is fun to sit with members of BBTC and listen to the different rides they have done and intend to do. They really are tourists, not just riders. When going on a ride with BBTC, one is struck by the relaxed, social atmosphere. These folks enjoy riding, and they enjoy each other's company while riding. The group does, naturally, split up over a distance, but they usually stop periodically and regroup. In one of the rides I did with BBTC (see Ride of the Month, page 11), I spent the entire ride conversing with various people. In most races, I spend most of the time gasping for air and sucking wheels. Joining and participating with BBTC, you get to know a lot of people who ride bicycles because they enjoy riding, not because they enjoy competing. You will also have the opportunity to help develop the sport of bicycling. Indeed, BBTC members are representative, in their riding and their activism, of those who truly enjoy bicycle riding for its own rewards. (BBTC has a ride hotline: [phone].) <2oo l Summer Biking In Utah's Southern Mountains "Utah's Other Utopia." That's how Bicycle Magazine recently described Brian Head. However, Brian Head is a very different sort of fat-tire paradise. For starters, many of Brian Head's 40 miles of uncrowded single track begin at 11,000-plus feet. Some of these trails descend an entire vertical mile, taking you from alpine vistas to red rock canyonlands in one long, easy downhill. You can reach the top of these trails without breaking a sweat, just ride the chairlift or shuttle up. And, thanks to the altitude, while the biking here is hot, the weather is not. A cool difference you'll truly appreciate if you visit us this summer or fall. <&fanfmeL R E S O R T For more information on Brian Head Hotel biking packages and reservations, call us today.

Ward Publisher Confronted by perceived apathy on the part of bicycle racing clubs and racers, and smarting from other frustrations, the Bicycle Racing Association of Utah (BRAU) scheduled what amounted to be a do-or-die meeting. Notice of the meeting warned clubs that a lack of support could lead to BRAU's demise. In response, approximately 20 people, representing most of the Utah racing teams, turned out for the meeting. By the conclusion of the meeting, it was evident that most of the club representatives generally supported BRAU and believed it was necessary for the future development of bicycle racing in Utah. Nevertheless, it was also evident that, while there were plenty of good ideas for BRAU and the development of racing, it would be difficult to muster sufficient help and assistance to bring these about. Active support of BRAU's activities, along with volunteerism, will determine whether or not BRAU becomes a positive factor. It was pointed out at the meeting that one of BRAU's major frustrations has been the failure of clubs and promoters to collect and pay the $1.00 per rider sur­charge. Discussion focused on four events: Tour of St. George Stage Race; Wendover Borderline Bike Challenge; Golden Spike Bicycle Festival Road Race; and the District Championship events. The problems encountered with these events appears to be the result of misun­derstandings and poor communication. Del Brown, organizer of the Tour of St. George, previously stated his event was already budgeted and rider information prepared and mailed before BRAU adopted its policy. Brown indicated he will collect the surcharge next year. The Wendover promoter was not informed of the policy, and therefore did not collect the surcharge. Discussion followed about who was responsible for informing organizers of the surcharge. Some indicated they felt it was Del Brown's responsibility as the district representative for the USCF. Others stated BRAU needed to be responsible to provide written material for organizers when they contact Brown about events. The issue with the Golden Spike Bicycling Festival was more confusing. Their application specifically included the surcharge and it was collected. However, there was apparently a misunderstanding about this money needing to be accounted for and paid to BRAU. Additionally, though the festival organizers used the BRAU equipment pool, they thought it was being provided free of charge, and therefore did not budget for it. These problems have caused some negative feelings that may lead to the elimination of a road race from next year's festival. Finally, it was pointed out that the District Championship events have a set entry fee of $10.00, and no surcharge is permitted by the USCF. The net effect of these problems in collecting the surcharge has been to put a sharp halt to many of BRAU's projects and activities. Until organizers start collecting and paying this surcharge, BRAU will have difficulty reaching its goals. In other business, it was decided that member clubs would take turns at setting up the course for BRAU's District Criterium Series. Though some questioned the reliability of this method, it was determined that, until there was more participation, BRAU could afford to pay someone to do that. The BRAU board members also emphasized the need of having more participation in these races.

USCF Race permit #93-0671 ^ J SLIC Salt Lake International Center Criterium Series "Utah's oldest and best-attended race series" Thursday Evenings 6:00 p.m. Season Plate $20 Includes first race fee $3 per race 2 licensed classes plus citizen Series continues Thursdays through September For Info: 583-3449 Plate also good at District Crit and Lehi Crit series suggested that, since the Lehi Criterium Series was not taking place, the District Criterium Series be moved to Tuesday evenings. This suggestion was generally supported, and it was decided to make this change beginning in June. Dan Thomas was given permission, with approval of the SLIC Criterium Series organizer, to establish a rider discipline committee which will field complaints about poor bike handling and other unsafe conduct in the SLIC races. This committee would have authority to suspend riders. BRAU chairman Chuck Collins discussed an idea to collect petitions to be submitted to local media for more cover­age of racing events. He proposed obtaining these through retail outlets and other means. Steve Johnson, representing Bagel Peddlers, questioned the effective­ness of such petitions. Other positive means of bringing about better coverage of such events by local media were discussed. Finally, there was some discussion about what members felt were Del Brown's role and duties as the USCF district director. As part of this discussion, those present indicated general support for the job being done by Brown. Collins, while voicing approval of Brown's efforts, proposed that the automatic two-year approval system be eliminated, to be replaced with a system requiring manda­tory approval. General support for this was lacking, however, and the discussion shifted to some talk about the USCF's change to Sectional Directors. Bicycling briefs UTA gets bicycle racks The Utah Transit Authority has begun installing bicycle racks on 150 buses for its Bicycle-on-Bus program. UTA submitted applications for Congestion Management/Air Quality funding offered by the federal government. If the program is successful, UTA plans to install racks on all 502 buses in its fleet. The goal of the project is to reduce single occupant automobile travel by facilitating increased use of bicycle and bus transportation. Bus routes selected in the test serve the Univeristy of Utah south of 2100 South (Rts. 8, 11,14, 29, 52, 71 and 89) and inter- county express routes from Ogden (Rt. 72) and from Utah County (Rts. 801 and 804). The project is projected to reduce 8,700 annual automobile trips or 35 trips per weekday in the initial phase. Total cost of the 150 racks is $97,500. UTA's share is $7,800 or 8 percent. The federal share is $89,700 or 92 percent. SLIC crits receive warning The health department issued a warning to the promoter of the Salt Lake International Center criterium series that the races will be shut down if racers continue to urinate along the course. Portable toilets have been installed but it takes the cooperation of racers to make this work. There will be no more warnings. In another incident, a highway patrolman stopped a group of racers on the freeway and told them to use alternate routes to the race. Seems like they're watching us doesn't it? June, 1993 cycling utah Cyclists, all aboard! Union Station puts on another funfest in Ogden By Robert L. Truelsen Editor The Golden Spike Festival has plenty of challenges for on and off-road special­ists. Just ask those who competed in the events May 15-16. The mountain bike race course at Mt Ogden Park remains a demanding and fun event that offers riders plenty of single track ascents and descents with water-slide like turns and tough, short climbs. Jeff Osguthorpe (Specialized) contin­ued his impressive season of racing with a win in Senior Expert. The current Junior World champion overcame a first-lap biff and the early challenge of Dave Wood (Fish Lipz). Wood bonked during the hot climb on lap three. Osguthorpe maintained his lead to win the 5-lap main event. Bart Gillespie (Fish Lipz) overcame the toughest part of the course for him, "die top of the pavement" to place second. Once over the first climb "I looked forward to the sweeping corners" on the course. Gillespie said "it's a fun course with lots of single track." The heat of the climb would claim another victim in the Pro/Elite event. Art O'Conner (Team Effort) overtook a bonking Martin Stenger (Slingshot) on the final climb to claim the win. "I could see him on the road," O'Conner said, "I passed him on top of the first climb. Martin kind of bonked. That always helps." "I bonked really hard," Stenger said. "I just got back from Europe. I'm not used to the altitude." Stenger raced at lower altitudes in Spain and Belgium. Ron Lindley (Fish Lipz) won the Expert Veteran event over a hard-charging Tom Noaker (PCCC). "I thought it was going to be a cruiser," Lindley said. "But Noaker is relentless." " I made lots of mistakes," Noaker explained. "I went down the staircase, turned around and climbed back up. It's the first race on a new bike, I dropped the chain several times. It's hard with competitive riders to come back again and again. But I'll get the bike right." The roadies had their day on Sunday with the North Ogden Canyon road race. Conditions were more favorable this year, wind wise. Gone was the gale-force wind facing racers while climbing the steep road last year. Instead Mother Nature provided more heat than usual. The first group to go were the Cat 1- 2s. Under normal conditions the early part of the race would be a stroll. But Burke Swindlehurst (Bagel Peddlers) thought the race started at 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. He wasn't even in his pedals when the race was started. Once on the road, he time trialed in hopes of catching on. In the meantime, Chuck Collins (Team Flower Children) unknowingly led the peloton down the wrong street. "I was looking over my left shoulder at the pack and the signs were on the right-hand side of the street." Once turned around, the pack got onto the correct road. Swindlehurst said somewhat dis­gusted. "I didn't get a warmup. I went the right way and the pack went the wrong way. When the they caught me, I sat in." A group of about eight riders rolled off the front before reaching the canyon. Swindlehurst had recovered and joined Montana racer Brink Kuchenbroe at the lead. Only Jeff Wyatt was able to keep them in sight. Once over the top, Wyatt bridged and the three stayed away for the rest of the race. Before hilltop finish at North Ogden canyon, the Bagel Peddlers pulled out a few tactical tricks from the team bag. "We put the old one-two on him and gapped him," Swindlehurst said. "Yep, I got the old one-two put on me," Kuchenbroe said. "And next year I'll put on a 23 for the hill." Despite the need for more teeth on his cluster, he was able to win the King of the Mountain prize. At the base of the final climb, Wyatt and Swindlehurst had a sizeable lead on Kuchenbroe. Swindlehurst was able to hold him off but Wyatt succumbed midway but held onto third place. Mike Henson (PCCC) climbed to fourth place followed by Steve Tibbitts (Bagel Peddlers).

Western Colorado's undiscovered cycling hot spot Contact: Bill Harris [phone] Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association Park City Cycling Club talent. Bill Remillard led the way up the initial climb followed by teammate Dan Graves. "We really hammered," Remillard said. "We attacked at the 10-mile mark and Dan caught me at the top. We stayed away, worked it close and caught the Is and 2s." Remillard also mentioned die need for more teeth on the cluster. He climbed the monster hills with a 12-19. Dana Pickard (Northshore) continued his string of Masters wins. "I wanted the King of the Mountain," Pickard said. "I had to work hard. Tom (Noaker) rode yesterday and if he hadn't, he would have taken me." Noaker (PCCC) was second followed by Joel Bingham (Northshore). Robynn Masters rode away from the other competitors in the Womens event, easily winning the Queen of die Mountain. For more results turn to page 12. Antelope Island Tour Approximately 200 people partici­pated in the Antelope Island bicycle tour event of the Golden Spike Bicycle Festi­val. The ride offered a 50-mile tour beginning and ending at Union Station or a shorter 25-mile tour. The weather was perfect, riders starting under grey skies which soon cleared for a sunny tour. The highlight was riding die new causeway to die Antelope Island. A new road with wide shoulders (and a slight tailwind) made for a smooth, fast ride along the causeway. By inhaling the salty breeze, one could almost imagine spinning along the ocean coasdine. The longer tour was led by tandem riders Keith and Carrie Dick and Chuck and Sheila Harding. WiUi the leaders leading die way on their tandems, they quickly set a good pace while everyone else found out what a good draft tandems provide. Once on the island, before heading back, riders had die option of doing a four mile loop on the island. This provided some excellent views of the lake, the surrounding mountains and die island itself (as well as die only hill of the entire ride). As is usually the case with these bike Art O'Conner beat the heat to win the Golden Spike Pro/Elite event. tours, mere was a very sociable and festive atmosphere. People mingled and visited at the turn around while enjoying the food and drink. There was a great variety of participants, with everything from racing bikes to mountain bikes, tandems and even a homemade bike built for three ridden by Tom Atkinson, his wife Paula and their nine-year old daughter, Daphne. It was abundantly clear that tfiese riders all enjoy getting out and riding their bikes. -David R. Ward * ^BIKE LINE, Setting the pace for fitness 1775 E.

June, 1993 cycling utah Emigration Canyon This ride of the month offers sights, sounds and brunch By David R. Ward Publisher On a sunny, cool Sunday morning, I loaded up my bike and drove to the Capitol Building where I was to meet with members of the Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club. I was cutting it close and arrived exactly at 9:00 a.m., just as everyone was leaving. Fortunately, they were patient and waited until I was ready. Their destination was Crompton's Roadside Attraction in Emigration Canyon. We proceeded from the capitol along City Creek Canyon Road, around the top of Memory Grove and then out the canyon to 11th Avenue. We headed east past the Salt Lake Cemetery to V Street. Here we waited for other riders to catch up, among them a father and son on a tandem and a mother pulling her young child in a trailer. At some point, she decided to turn the buggy pulling duties over to her husband. As evidence of his fitness, he made it to Crompton's and later to the top of the canyon after lunch. Next, we had a nice, short downhill run followed by a small uphill leading to 400 South. Turning left, we went through the tunnel at Rice Stadium, past the Special Events Center and up to Fort Douglas and Research Park before reaching Sunnyside Avenue. A more direct route is Guardsman Way just east of Rice Stadium directly to Sunnyside Avenue. We continued on Sunnyside east past Hogle Zoo and into the canyon. Along the way, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of Emigration Canyon. We heard the tapping of a woodpecker and stopped to watch him beating his beak against a telephone pole, much like Morse code. Those who are interested in bird watching will enjoy plenty of opportunities in the canyon. The ride offers a gradual uphill grade to Crompton's. Although some of us wanted to continue, we elected to have lunch. Afterwards we climbed the rest of the way up the canyon (on a full stomach!) and descended to the junction with the East Canyon road. At this point, we chose to turn around and retrace our route to the Capitol Building. This ride can be a casual, stop and enjoy the sights, stop and eat, type of ride. The food at Crompton's is excellent, as well as the surroundings and ambiance. For me, it was an extremely pleasurable ride with good company. It was a relaxing alternative to my usual training and racing routine. A ride like this helps a person realize the bicycle can be the means for some very relaxing and enjoyable times. District Time Trial There is no denying the "Race of Truth" By David R. Ward Publisher A time trial is commonly referred to as a "race of truth". Truth is, few cyclists seem interested anymore in testing themselves against the clock. This was never more evident than at the District Time Trial Championships. With a total turnout of 62 people, those who were not there were more conspicuous than those who were. Nevertheless, it was an almost perfect day for a time trial, and there were some excellent times recorded. The fastest time of the day on the 40 kilometer course, 50:52.40, was set by Richard Feldman of Ketchum, Idaho. Being an "alien", however, he was ineligible for the champi­onship. Nelson Cronyn (Sunrise Cyclery) recorded the next best time, 51:06.34, thereby becoming the Senior Men's Category 1-3 Champion. Second place went to Jeff Wyatt (Bagel Peddlers) at 53:03.10, followed by his teammate, Rodney Smith at 54:07.58. In the Senior Men's Cat 4-5, the championship was won by Dirk Cowley (Park City Cycling Club) with a time of 57:06.57. He was followed by Crae Anderson (Utah Premier), 57:08.11, in second and Maikel Wise (Northshore), 57:32.54, in third. The 20-kilometer Junior Championship went to Craig Muegge (Salt City Racing Team) in 27:38.52, and the Women's Championship (all categories combined) was won by Jo Garuccio (SCRT) in 1:01:12.14. Masters champions were as follows: 30-34 David Walton (Sunrise Cyclists) 55:27.03; 35-39 Doug Hayduk (Bagel Peddlers) 57:53.66; 40-44 George Veasy (PCCC) 56:41.59; 45-49 Paul Scarpelli (SCRT) 59:10.01; 50+ Alan Stockland (Cache Velo) 1:02:20.44. For the first time, there was a tandem division. The championship went to Jim Yorgason and John Mason (Wasatch Wheels) with a time of 52:33.24 followed by the other tandem of Nelson Cronyn and Dan Cooper, who missed their start time, finishing in 53:33.71. The race, sponsored by Alpine Sports, was well-organized, with riders not having to wait more than a comfortable time for socializing to receive their medals and prizes.
