Too Many Bikes?By David Ward

Publisher

My wife, Karma, keeps telling me I need to get rid of some bikes.

“Why do you need all these bikes?” she asks. I don’t need all these bikes, I tell her. “But I want them!” We recently bought a home in that cycling mecca, Emigration Canyon, and in the process of moving, this question raised itself again.

So, how many bikes are we talk-ing about? Well, let me count. One . . . two . . . three . . . ummm . . . twenty-two. Yeah, twenty-two.

Now, before y’all go viral on me, let me explain. First, there is my regular road bike, a Colnago CT-1.

This is the bike that gets most of my miles. I train on it and do my one race of the year, the LOTOJA, on it. It is a beautiful bike and a sweet ride. ‘Nuff said.

Next, I have my Willier Lavarado which is set up as a time trial bike. I never do any time trials, though I keep planning to take up the Saltair TT series again, but I love to ride it. Rod, owner of Spin Cycle (now out of business, sad to say), set it up for me. It is a pleasure to ride and so, even if I never do another TT, I keep it around to just ride occasionally.

Then, I have my Felt Curbside fixie bike. This is what I commute and run errands on. I love this bike. A fixie is a whole different feel. I have a brake on it, but haven’t used

the brake since a month or so after I bought it. The technique of riding a fixie is unique, and it is just plain fun to ride.

Of course, there is my mountain bike, a Jamis Dakar Pro. Everyone needs a mountain bike, right? I don’t go off-road often, but I do enjoy mountain biking. Any cyclist worth his salt has a mountain bike.

Then there is my old mountain bike, a GT Zaskar. Why do I keep it? Good question. I rarely ride it, but I keep it because I really liked it. I

only bought the Jamis because it had rear suspension (and new technology, new frame configuration, cool look, etc., but mostly the rear suspension for my aging body). I keep think-ing I will just bang around on it, but haven’t done much of that recently, either. However, it still has my heart, so I keep it.

And speaking of old bikes, there is my original road racing bike, a Trek 760 with a Campagnolo Victory gruppo and Reynolds 531c steel tub-ing. I remember when I first bought it. I took it home, put on my new Sidi cycling shoes and clipped in. (Note I said clipped, not clicked. Clipless pedals were still years away.) What a feel. For the first quarter mile, I could hardly handle it, it felt so light and responsive. Compared to my old, cheap Motobecane from the ‘70s, which I also still have, it was like driving a sports car rather than a Chrysler minivan. Both bikes also

Ride Like a Girl in Utah’s Women’s Cycling EventsBy Tara McKee

Just over a year ago, Specialized introduced the Amira, a high-end carbon fiber women's race bike, and the demand from their female cus-tomers took many Utah bike shops by surprise as they quickly sold out (I couldn’t even get one to demo). It’s just one of many signs of the resurgence in women’s cycling. In Utah, another sign is the rapid growth in women’s cycling events. This year, the now classic Little Red Riding Hood Ride in Cache Valley, is one of six women’s cycling events in the state. The Women of Steel triathlon used to dub itself, “Utah's only all-women tri,” but it now has company.

Women at these events enjoy the relaxed, beginner-friendly atmo-sphere, the “girls’ party on two-wheels” and the opportunity to meet new friends. The rides also offer challenges that attract the endurance or more competitive women. One triathlete explained the women-only triathlon differences: “I really appre-ciated the “women’s only” race I did as my first triathlon. It’s a little less intimidating and you don’t get kicked as much in the water. It’s funny because during the swim in a coed triathlon, I remember hearing a guy swearing profusely as he was getting bumped. I had the same experience at

a women’s only triathlon and instead of profanity being yelled, it was ‘I’m so sorry!’ and ‘Excuse me!’”

The first women’s only ride in Utah was the Little Red Riding Hood Ride, nearly 24 years ago. Alice Telford, a member of the Bonneville Bicycling Club, had visited California and rode the Cinderella Classic wom-en’s ride there. It was not only a lot of fun, but she thought it was a great way to promote women’s cycling. It was while she was on a ride with her friend Sue Shawle through pastoral Cache Valley with its small homey towns surrounded by lush farmlands that she knew she found the perfect spot for this new women’s ride. It took a year to plan the ride and she didn’t neglect the details. Alice and Sue planned a 100K route with rest stops, got all the proper approvals and permits and even lined up a sup-port crew made up of her good friend Jon Smith and several other men who would drive the sag vehicle and help with the occasional flats. Then she ordered a lunch for the two dozen women who would take part in that first ride and thus, the Little Red Riding Hood Ride was born.

Through the years, the Little Red Ride has grown larger and more popular. The theme has varied from year to year: Hawaiian luau, super hero theme, and in 2011, a “Fabulous 50’s” theme. Ride organizers have

had a lot of fun with the Red Riding Hood theme over the years. Little Red is artistically portrayed on the stylish jerseys and participation tee shirts every year. Little Red is the heroine and she always gets the best of the Big, Bad Wolf, which since 1999 has come to represent cancer. The funds raised from Little Red rides go to support women-specific cancer research. The ride eventually topped out at 3000 riders, making it the largest women’s ride in the country. It is a hard ride to get into if you’re not quick. This year, the popu-lar ride filled up in less than a day.

The Goldilocks women’s ride debuted in May 2010 as part of Pedal Palooza, a family bike event held in Herriman each year to pro-mote health, fitness, fun, and cycling safety. “The Goldilocks ride was named in a fun homage to the Little Red Riding Hood Ride,” says ride-organizer and founder, Dani Lassiter.

Dani found “Goldilocks” was a fun theme to play with and the atmosphere at the ride is bright and celebratory. The route, which winds through southwest Salt Lake County,

offers a variety of distances from 20 miles to century distance, and participants are encouraged to find one that is “just right” for them. The Goldilocks website (www.goldilock-sride.com) is aimed at the novice cyclist and offers training plans for each distance, visual explanations of road rules, and a pre-ride Goldilocks Cycling School is offered at Infinite Cycling.

CommuTer Column

Dave Sweeney, Veterinarian, Talks Bike Commuting, Dogs, and Transit OptionsBy Lou Melini

This month’s commuter col-umn will feature veterinarian, Dave Sweeney. Dr. Sweeney works at the Animal Emergency Center in Sunset Utah. He commutes from his home near the Zoo in Salt Lake City. He also works at the Avenues Pet Clinic and for No More Homeless Pets in Utah.

Cycling Utah: Dave, let’s start by detailing your commute to your clinic.

Dave Sweeney: I started working full time in Sunset in July 2007. I took the job, despite the long commute, because I knew the Frontrunner was nearing completion (It opened late April 2008.) and the weekday com-mute would be much easier without having to drive. My work schedule is unconventional: In each three week

cycle I work nine straight shifts: Sat noon to approx 7pm, Sunday 8am to approx 8pm, then Monday through Sunday nights, 6pm to 8am.

In 2008, I mostly biked to and from the Frontrunner. The train was very popular that summer, as gas prices were around $4/gallon and Legacy Highway was not yet com-pleted. Typically I biked 6 miles to the Salt Lake FrontRunner Station via 8th South and 6th West, and then 4 miles from the Clearfield station along Main St. to work. The more I biked, the more I grew to enjoy riding. As I started getting stronger I began biking the entire route, usually on the way to work Saturday mornings or Sunday after-noons. Occasionally I rode home in the morning after work, but only if the Frontrunner was not running. I preferred to ride the entire route on weekends, as I did not have to deal with the workday automobile traffic.

From the clinic, I usually took Main St. in Sunset, route 89 to Beck St. in SLC, proceeding up Victory Rd to City Creek, going on to 11th Ave, past Primary Children’s, then through the U, past ARUP, down to Sunnyside and then home, just behind the zoo. That trip is about 38.5 miles. In the fall I tried Legacy bike trail a few times, typically tak-ing Main St. to Flint St. in Layton, following Sunset, then Shepard, then Burke, then on to Legacy, off at Center St, then taking the gravel pit bike path to Beck St. and then home by way of City Creek as noted above. The Legacy route is 41.5 miles.

That season ended Nov 29 when I crashed on my way to work Sunday evening as I was trying to hurry through the roundabout at 1500 South and Main St in Bountiful. I injured my shoulder, including a bro-ken clavicle. Had I not been in such a hurry I would not have crashed.

I resumed bike commuting in 2009 around the middle of March. Early on I did not have very good all weather gear and suffered through some very cold rides. 2009 was much like 2008, except I gradually began riding the entire route home more in the morning, by way of Legacy, instead of taking the train. This began gradually. Initially, because I felt I was just getting warmed up by the time I traveled the 4 miles to the Clearfield station, I started biking to the Layton station, 3.5 miles further, where I would catch the train. Then

with time I found that I did not want to stop for the train in Layton either. Without thinking too much about it, I skipped the train more frequently. I learned rather quickly, however, that I needed to have some snacks and 2 liters of water for the trip home. I usually rode Legacy during the week. The Legacy section I ride is 10.8 miles long, with only one stop sign on a road with virtually no traffic. I avoided Legacy on Saturdays, as there were too many cyclists to safely ride 20 mph. By taking the train/bike I arrived home around 940 am. When biking home, depending on the wind, I would usually arrive around 1015 to 1035. It seemed to me that by biking home it took about 45 minutes lon-ger, but in return I was able to bike an extra 75 minutes. I also felt better mentally when I rode home.

My 2009 bike commuting ended around Thanksgiving, with the first major snowstorm of the year. I really missed the exercise when I stopped biking for the winter. The dramatic change in activity had pretty sig-nificant effects on me: I was gener-ally quite crabby, ate a lot more junk food, and as a result, my weight went from 156lb to 172lb in three months.

This past summer, except for Sunday dayshift, I almost always rode every single day I worked. The hardest day of the week is when I work Sunday night, as the train does not run Sundays. On those days I bike home in the morning from my Saturday night shift and back to

work in the afternoon, 77-83 miles for the Sunday night shift. Although it is hard, I prefer it to driving though the train would be my first option if it were running. It also allows me to bike home Monday morning, which I really enjoy after finishing nine straight days of work.

Thus far this winter (2010-2011) I have ridden my bike all the way home only a few times. I would probably bike all the way home in the winter more often if the Legacy Trail were maintained (snow removal) in the winter. Most of this winter it has been covered in snow and ice and not something I want to ride.

While I will brave virtually any element, I am nevertheless concerned about biking after dark. I have up to five lights on my bike, but am still concerned about not being seen by cars. I try to limit my after dark bike commutes to the shortest, brightest, safest routes possible.

In the summer, commuting dur-ing my work-weeks, I ride 55 miles round trip most days and 77 miles on Sunday. My summer work-week commuting mileage is 350-410 miles in a week. In the winter I com-mute about 150-200 miles during my work-weeks. My first year of commuting I did about 3000 miles. In 2009 I did about 5000 miles. From March 2010 to now I have done over 7000, and will probably come close to 8000 miles for the full 12 months.

Cycling Utah: Tell me about your commuter bike evolution.

Dave Sweeney: When I started bike commuting in May 2008 I owned two bikes, a 1995 Barracuda A2R and a 2004 Specialized Enduro full suspension mountain bike, which I rode for a few weeks until I pur-chased a bike more appropriate for longer commute, a Trek 5000 road bike.

A biking friend and fellow vet, Tanya Kjeldsberg suggested I pur-chase a commuting bike, which would better allow me to bike the entire year. At first I did not take her suggestion seriously, but I pur-chased a steel 18 speed Salsa Vaya, in March, 2010. It had a number of features I grew to love for cycling in all weather: full fenders, racks, and wheels that allow up to a 42mm tire. I previously would not have ridden

my preferred commuter bike, the carbon Trek, in the rain. However I do not hesitate to take the Salsa in wet weather.

C.U.: What are some of the essential equipment that you have learned to use and trust over time?

D.S.: I really like the Specialized tire pump. I have one for each of my commuting bikes. It never fails, is fairly quick and allows you to inflate the tires up to 100psi. I use Schwalbe Ultramarathon tires that are heavy, but are virtually flat proof. Online reviewers report flats only after wearing out the tread after about 6000 miles. I have ridden them almost 3000 miles without a single flat. The wider tires are also safer in wet conditions. In the winter I mount studded snow tires (a must in my opinion) on the wheels, giving me a lot better traction and security. I love my Schwalbe Winter Marathon stud-ded tires. Lastly I need to mention my Roadie handlebar mirror. I feel naked without it and would recom-mend one to everyone. I even leave it on for races.

C. U.: How do you stay warm in the winter?

D.S.: I think staying comfortable on the bike is the key to bike commut-ing. I would find a lot of reasons not to bike if I was cold and wet. Consequently, I put forth a lot of effort to accomplish this. For my upper body, I wear a base layer top. Then I wear a thick long sleeve bike jersey, followed by a winter bik-ing jacket made by Cutter, that has ventilation zippers. When it is really cold I add a windproof cycling jersey between the jersey and jacket. For my bottoms I wear insulated bib bike pants underneath a base layer pant. Rarely, I will wear a windproof pant over these. I keep my feet warm by first wearing Lake CX140 winter road bike shoes, over which I put a thick sock, followed by a thin shoe cover and or for really cold weather an insulated shoe cover. It is a good idea to wear wool socks.

Bar Mitts create the difference between cold and truly warm hands. My hands are always warm with

the Bar Mitts. You have to wear gloves with them, but you can wear a surprisingly light pair and still have warm hands. For my head I have different thickness balaclavas, but find the thicker ones better for the bitter cold. During the winter I wear a Bolle ski helmet rather than a traditional bike helmet. It is warmer than any bike helmet I have seen. It is also easier to mount a headlamp onto, should you choose to wear one.

C.U.: What bike maintenance tip do you have for the readers?

D.S.: I have an inexpensive park chain tool that lets me know exactly when to replace my chains-about every 3000 miles. Many bike mechanics have told me that I needed to replace my chain just by looking at it. When I then checked the chain for stretch it was fine. I think the mechanics just want to sell chains.(Editorial note: I also have the same tool. It prevents me from waiting too long to change my chain so I avoid needing a new cassette as well. I get about 8 months from my chains.)

C.U.: Where are some of the good and bad sections of your commute?

D.S.: Legacy is the highlight-although the prevailing winds are typically from the south in the morn-ing. The winds can be up to 20-MPH on the unprotected trail. The gravel pit road AND bike trail are usually sprayed every morning around 9AM (to keep dust down), right before I come through. The road has lots of cracks with dirt accumulating in them. As a result it is pretty muddy after the spray truck comes through. I frequently have mud on the bike, even when it has not rained/snowed in weeks. Consequently, I have to wash the bike quite frequently. Beck Street, though it has a bike lane, is also pretty miserable. Traffic moves fast, there are a lot of dump trucks and the bike lane is usually strewn with gravel. It is also sometimes difficult to cross from the bike lane on Beck St. to the left turn lane onto Victory Rd.

In Davis County, Flint/Sunset/Shepard are enjoyable back road sec-tions. Bonneville Blvd. in SLC, with

no cars in the east-bound lane, is also nice.

C.U.: What improvements have made your commute better over the years?

D.S.: Legacy was huge. I can’t say enough about the trail. Typically, in Utah, there are few places to bike 10+ miles without stopping. Legacy changed that. There have also been some small improvements to bike safety. For instance, there is now a bike crossing button on Beck St. and Chicago St., which, when pushed, gives the cyclist a green light to turn onto Beck St., which would other-wise only happen when a vehicle approaches, which can be a very long time on Sundays.

Scheduled for this year are: Connecting Legacy trail to the Jordan River trail this spring and finishing the rail to trail sections in Roy and Layton by the end of 2011, which will result in a trail running from Roy to however far south the Jordan River parkway goes. This would allow me to bypass the muddy gravel pit bike trail.

C.U.: How is bike commuting on the Frontrunner?

D.S.: This has improved greatly since it started in April 2008. UTA did not anticipate the large number of cyclists who would take their bikes on the train. Initially there were spots for 6 bikes on each train, later to be cut to 4 when the “comet cars” were running. Sometimes there were as many as 40 bikes on the train. The bikes would all be stacked against each other, with cyclists having to stack and unstuck at each stop. It was really hard on the bikes, especially the more delicate road bikes. As gas prices went down and after Legacy Highway opened the number of bikes decreased significantly, but was still far more than 6 on many trains. Then in the summer of 2010 UTA added a bike car to each train, which has bike racks for 9 bikes, increasing the total train capacity to 13 bikes. Generally, you can get a spot in the bike rack when you arrive 5-10 minutes early in the summer. In the winter you can always get a spot. FrontRunner is

much better than TRAX commuting with a bike.

C.U.: I sometimes see people riding their bikes with their dog running alongside. From your perspective as a veterinarian, is this OK?

D.S.: I have done this with the dog on leash, but it scares me. The dog can pull you off the bike, or the leash can get tangled in the bike. I love to bike with my dogs, but this is difficult to do in Salt Lake City. In my opinion the best local way to bike with the dogs is to go to Park City. Park City has some great dog friendly mountain bike trails that have access to water. I have enjoyed the trails above Jeremy Ranch and Park City ski resort. Park City has cooler temperatures and is not a watershed. It is best to carry water for the dogs and to be sure to stop at one of the lakes/streams, where the dogs can drink and their pet water bottle can be refilled. Of course the dogs have to be healthy and properly conditioned to do this.

C.U.: What are the capabilities and limitations of canines in this situa-tion?

D.S.: It varies from pet to pet. Some dogs are very athletic and acclimate well to the heat. Other dogs are not good runners (basset hound, dachs-hund), don’t respire well (bulldog, pug), or don’t do well in the heat (Husky, Samoyed). I have seen some small dogs carried on the bikes. Also, some dogs would do fine for short rides. Some of the northern breeds might do great snow trail riding with a Pugsley.

C.U.: What effects does pavement have vs. grass on dogs in this situ-ation?

D.S.: Pavement, even trails can cause blistering of pads on dogs. Grass is much more paw friendly. I have found Musher’s Secret to help with my dogs’ pad health when we moun-tain bike.

C.U.: What other factors are involved in riding with your dog along such a temperature?

D.S.: Access to water is huge. Also, if a dog is struggling on a ride for any reason, it is time to stop. Dogs often want to go anywhere, no matter how they feel. Sometimes they can be sick, febrile, but still want to go for a run. They start out eagerly, until they just can’t go anymore. Sometimes they can’t drink, other times their mild fever increases dramatically with the heat and suddenly they are suffering from heatstroke.

C.U.: Let’s get back to riding. What is your most favorite ride to date?

D.S.: The last two years I have driven the kids to diabetes summer camp about five miles east of Huntsville. I have left my car there and biked home over Trappers loop, Morgan, East and Emigration canyons. Much of the ride was part of the Tour of Utah last year. I do the return trip five days later. While the ride is hard, especially the trip home in the afternoon when it is hot, it is beautiful. There are also places along the way (Morgan and East Canyon campground) where you can fill up with water.

I would like to someday do some long distance bike touring, but will have to wait until the kids are old enough to come along or be left on their own.

C.U.: Best advice for anyone inter-ested in bike commuting?

D.S.: Wear a helmet, use lights at night, assume that you are invisible to cars and stay comfortable by being prepared for rain and cold.

C.U.: Thanks Dave. That’s a long bike-commute. I’m not sure if I would do it.

leTTersan hb 155 post-mortem

HB155 was defeated in the 2011 Utah legislature. This bill would have allowed cyclists 18 years or older to treat stop signs as yield signs, similar to legislation that Idaho has had for 29 years. This year’s version of the bill did not include the 2010 version’s stop light provision that would have allowed cyclists to legally move through an unresponsive stop light. We also added the age restriction at the request of bicycle advocates. We had hoped a simpler, leaner bill might have been more to the legis-latures liking. We were wrong.

There were a number of reasons that the legislators gave to turn back this bill but prominent among them was the comment uttered by Senate President Michael Waddoups dur-ing a Senate committee hearing in which he flatly stated that “there are a lot more irresponsible bikers out there than there are responsible bik-ers.” Most legislators contend this legislation would simply encour-age cyclists to fly through stop signs and stop lights with impunity, ignoring the fact that the onus is on the bicyclist to confirm there is no coming cross traffic before entering the intersection. In their view, we are already irresponsible, this bill would just make us more so.

On the other hand our argument has been that the reason virtually all cyclists do not come to a full, dead stop at stop signs in which there is no incoming traffic is because we have learned it is the safest tactic and most energetically economi-

cal. The goal for all cyclists on the road is to avoid cars because when cars and bikes meet, we know who loses. My goal in approaching an empty intersection is to confirm it is indeed empty with no oncom-ing traffic and then to get across it before any cars do show up.

Another primary reason we cited in support of this bill was that continuous starts and stops which quieter and safer streets have due to their plethora of stop signs puts many cyclists on much busier, and inherently more dangerous, streets that have far fewer stop signs. Statistics tell us the most deadly of bicycle accidents occur when we are struck from behind by an approaching car. Riding on streets with lots of fast moving cars simply increases the odds that you will get hit and not see it coming.

Clearly the vast majority of the members of the legislature have little sympathy for the plight of cyclists on the roads. This bill, in their eyes, simply gave cyclists license for increased bad behavior. But perhaps we have gone after these bills the wrong way. Maybe we should be aiming at the bottom line of health care expenditures the state is responsible for. We know of the health benefits of a daily bike ride, do they? What is the ultimate cost to the health care systems from inactive, obese individuals versus active, healthy cyclists? Maybe this is an avenue of dialogue we can develop with the legislature to enhance their awareness and appre-ciation of the cycling community.

-John Weis

have my heart.Then there are my collectors. I

logged a lot of miles between age five and sixteen on my red Schwinn Spitfire that Santa brought on my fifth Christmas. So, when I came across a Schwinn Spitfire at an antique store, I couldn’t resist. I bought it. However, it is a girls model with the two curved, down tubes and no top tube. So, if anyone has a boys model to sell, or knows of one, call me. I could always use another bike.

Along with the Spitfire, I have an old black Schwinn Typhoon, com-plete with wire handlebar basket. If I so chose, I could run to the store for groceries on this thing. Getting back up the Canyon to my new home would be another story. It weighs a ton.

Of more recent vintage is my old TT bike, a Schwinn Prologue. It is the style that was de rigueur with the TT specialists and tri-athletes for several years, with a 27-inch rear wheel, a frame that sloped down to a 24-inch front wheel and bullhorn handlebars. It’s really funky and I like its red, white and blue coloring. So I keep it.

My final collectible is classic green Bianchi Campione d’Italia road bike, made by the oldest bicy-cle manufacturing company still in existence. Since I first saw a Bianchi green (“celeste” in Italian) road bike, I have loved this vintage color. So, when I had a chance to pick up this bike, I could not resist. It adds a real touch of class to my collection.

I also have two older racing bikes. A Trek OCLV 5500 replaced my original Trek 760. It now stays

with my daughter in Phoenix so I have a bike to ride when I visit.

That in turn was replaced by my LeMond Z, probably the prettiest bike I own, except maybe for my Colnago. The top tube, fork, seat and chain stays are a dark blue that fades at the top of the down and seat tubes into a narrow green stripe. That stripe then fades into bright yellow which runs down the down and seat tubes to where it fades into a narrow orange stripe. That stripe then fades into a red bottom bracket. I still remember the first race I rode after I got it. As I was riding in the peloton, George Veasy exclaimed,

“David, that’s the prettiest bike I’ve ever seen.” It is destined to reside with my daughter who recently moved to Fort Worth. I will need a bike there when I visit.

To entice my road-wary wife to ride with me, I purchased a Santana tandem. A tandem is a great equal-izer. Rather than me getting impa-tient waiting, and my wife frustrated and intimidated trying to keep up, a tandem has us working togeth-er to move the machine forward. Buying it was a great move for marital cycling bliss. The Santana was later replaced by a Co-Motion Java which fit us a little better. But I could not sell the Santana for what I thought it was worth, so I still have both it and the Co-Motion, the one we ride.

Those are what I consider “my bikes”. Fifteen in all. And as you can see, all justified, at least in my mind, for one reason or another.

I also have an old GT Karakoram mountain bike. I got it for my son and successive visiting foreign exchange students to ride. Also, it looked cool. It is in a sad state of disrepair right now, but I am fixing it up for my new son-in-law to ride till he can afford to get something

better. So it will soon be off my list.Of course, I have to keep my

wife supplied. She will occasionally ride her road bike, a Specialized Dolce, which replaced a rather old Miyata, which replaced an even older Fuji, both of which we still have. The Miyata also currently resides with my daughter in Phoenix who enjoys riding. My wife also likes riding off-road at our cabin, so she has a Rocky Mountain Element 10. These bikes, of course, are not really mine, but since this whole cycling thing is my fault, they are assigned to my list.

The same for the bikes I bought for my children to use. I still have a Trek 7000 mountain bike which I bought for my daughters to use. It remains a very good bike, and my youngest daughter has had it at school with her till she was recently married. No room for it in the stu-dent married housing apartment so, of course, it was brought back for dad and mom to store. I also still have an old Terry ladies bike I bought for their use. It is a sturdy, well-made steel frame bike. Just old.

So there you have it. Twenty-two bikes, and a good reason for each one. I have, however, deter-mined that the Fuji and Terry will be donated to the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective. Hopefully, they will each find a useful owner. And the old Karakoram will officially belong to my son-in-law. That will bring me down to nineteen. I would say that sounds better, but as I say it to myself, it almost sounds worse.

Of course, I have not had a new bike for eight years, except for my fixie. The new technology is tempt-ing, and some of the new bikes are really beautiful. I’m not buying, but maybe I will just look around . . . And somehow, twenty sounds better than nineteen.

Harward and Evans Shine at Tour Del Sol

By Ryan Barrett

Canyon Bicycles’ Dave Harward and Nicole Evans of Primal-Map My Ride-BH took out their respec-tive Pro fields at the Tour Del Sol, held in and around St. George March 19-20. The “Sol” was in short supply as the riders battled in overcast and windy conditions for all three stages.

The action kicked off with a 20k (12.4 mile) time trial on Saturday morn-

ing. Bryson Perry (Lifetime Fitness) took out the pro men’s event in front of David Brockbank (Canyon Bicycles) and 2010 stage and overall winner Sam Krieg (Ski Utah-MarketStar). The TT was a precursor of things to come for the women’s pro field with Nicole Wangsgard (Primal-Map My Ride-BH) taking the win in front of teammates Nicole Evans and Tiffany Pezzulo.

Saturday evening was a time crite-rium at the old airport in the heart of St.

George. The course was a hotdog shape with long straight-aways on the runway and u-turns at either end. The men’s race was a tactical battle with both overall G.C. concerns and the stage win on the line. A large breakaway formed about 20 minutes into the hour long event with Ski Utah-MarketStar teammates Mike Booth and Garrett Burbidge going 1-2. David Brockbank (Canyon Bicycles) made the break and took over the G.C lead. The women’s race was more straightforward with the Primal-Map My Ride-BH three-some taking turns lapping the rest of the field with Evans taking the win in front of Pezzulo and Wangsgard.

Sunday saw the pro men complete 86 miles. High winds and a challenging course saw the field shatter with only 12 riders finishing. About eight miles in, Dave Harward attacked drawing out the crit winner, Booth and Jason Asay (Tahitian Noni). These three built a solid lead. In the final fifteen miles, Harward dropped Booth and Asay to solo in for the stage and over-all win. Harward’s Canyon Bicycles teammate Tyler Riedesel jumped out of the chase group to secure 2nd on the day in front of Perry, with these two flip-flopping spots on the over-all podium. The pro women’s field was decimated with Pezzulo and Evans coming in together (in that order) five minutes ahead of their teammate

Wangsgard in 3rd and over 11 min-utes up on 4th, with the final podium of Evans, Pezzulo, and Wangsgard.

Training for a Century or Gran Fondo By Cameron Hoffman & Mark Deterline

You can do itThe decision to take on a 100 mile

ride can seem like a major undertaking. But it’s relative. Depending on how many miles you already have in your legs and the distance of your longest rides, it may seem more or less daunt-ing.

After completing our own first cen-turies – often referred to now using the sexier Italian name, Gran Fondo – friends and families were amazed that we could it. And that we even wanted to! They considered it from a com-pletely different perspective: they saw the accomplishment, while we expe-rienced the process. The process is a journey that builds fitness as well as confidence. By the time you line up at the start, you’ll likely be as excited and reassured by your preparation as you are nervous.

Take comfort in the fact that many riders show up for a century less pre-pared than they had hoped due to myriad reasons, and they still do okay. You don’t ever want to push yourself so hard that you risk injury or your health. But like many types of endur-ance activities, it’s about…enduring. The better prepared you are, the less you’ll “suffer” during the event and the more you’ll be able to enjoy it.

Three-month plan emphasizing consistency

We believe that any cyclist can tackle a century. It takes weeks of preparation and the key is consistency. Ideally, that means at least five days per week on your bike. You can ride one of the other days if you’re feeling peppy and willing to go nice and easy. But you should take at least one day off each week to stay fresh both mentally and physically.

We also advise focusing predomi-nantly on being a cyclist during this “ramp up” phase. If you’re normally a gym rat, a runner, a swimmer or what-ever, try to set aside the chalk, laces and goggles as much as you can over the 90 days leading up to your big ride.

Finally, before getting started, we rec-ommend you schedule an appointment with a professional bike fitter to avoid discomfort and possibly injury. One thing a competent bike fitter can do is help you find a suitable saddle.

Month OneThis first month is the base building

period, allowing your body to gradually acclimate muscles, bones, joints and other systems to the general demands of cycling. This will serve as your founda-tion of strength and fitness. Sometimes we want to hurry things along and just enjoy riding fast. However, that can undermine a base on which to draw later. More importantly, rushing into it can mean injury, and injury can mean game over.

Here’s the month one recipe:1. Ride 5-6 days each week, remem-

bering that rest and recovery are part of your training plan. Warm up for 15-20 minutes at an easy pace.

2. Ride at least 700 total miles, but not many more unless you’re already fit, well rested and feeling fresh.

3. More than half of your riding should be at 80% of your maximum heart rate. One way to estimate your max heart rate is 220 minus your age, or you can take a short physiological test with a coach to determine it more precisely). The remainder of your rid-ing can balance an easy pace (including warm-ups and cool-downs) with higher intensity efforts, for example on climbs or spirited group rides.

4. Try to maintain a pedaling cadence of 80 RPM’s or higher to optimize training time. Keep the pedals turning as much as you can (avoid a lot of coasting). Avoid stopping unless you really need to go to the bathroom or get water and food.

Month TwoNow let’s focus on building

strength. During this period you should try to include more climbing.

1. Ride 5-6 days each week while getting plenty of rest (including sleep) and recovery time off your feet.

2. Ride at least 600 total miles.3. Your intensity can vary more dur-

ing this phase, depending on terrain and riding companions. Just don’t overdo it; overtraining is potentially a bigger risk than training too little.

4. One ride per week, turn slightly bigger gears at a lower cadence – i.e. 60 RPM’s. If you experience hip or knee pain, downshift immediately into smaller gears, and we advise making that appointment with a bike fitter if you haven’t already!

Month Three

By month three, your body should start to feel well adapted to the duration and rigors of long rides. You should now be able to log fifty or more miles at a steady pace. As long as you continue to hydrate regularly (drink a minimum of one large water bottle per hour) and consume sufficient calories (eat some-thing every 45 minutes), you will likely be surprised at how good you feel on rides up to 75 miles. We mention 75 miles specifically because, as you can imagine, the final 25 miles tend to be the hardest – mentally as well as physically.

In the first two weeks of month three you can focus more on intensity, because in the week or two leading up to your century or Gran Fondo, you will be “tapering” off in your training just enough to be rested and well recovered for your event. You can’t cram for an endurance event! Your foundation should be in place. Now you get to uncage the tiger within and will pepper all that base with some intensity.

Intensity in the form of well dosed intervals, followed by sufficient recov-ery, will boost your fitness as well as your immune system. We recommend intensity intervals of 10 minutes or less, each one followed by 2-5 minutes of recovery pedaling at an easy pace. On the days you focus on intensity, you can decrease your total miles. Intensity rides should be followed by longer recovery cycles.

Speaking of recovery cycles, now it’s time to taper. Depending on how fresh and energetic you feel, in the

week or even two leading up to your event, ride at easy to mid-intensity. If you feel tired during a ride, determine whether you need to simply pedal easi-er in a smaller gear, or turn around and go home. Err on the side of too little during this phase!

1. Ride 5-6 days each week in the first part of this final month, then a maximum of 5 days per week in the week or two leading up to the event.

2. During this month you should ride at least 500, but you don’t need to ride more than 700.

3. Incorporate intensity into two of your rides each week.

4. Taper off mileage and intensity in the final week or two before the event.

But It’s Only Four Weeks to My Favorite Century – What Should I do?

Not all of us have the luxury of heading south for warmer weather or day time hours to ride. If you only have four weeks until your big ride, here are a few pointers.

1. Consistency is the first rule of fit-ness, ride four to six days a week.

2. Ride one to three hours a day. Try for 600-700 miles for month.

3. Maintain a medium pace for 60% of your ride time. Remaining ride time should be easy or very hard.

4. Ride in a mix of terrain, flats & hills

5. Taper off mileage and intensity in the final week before the event.

You’ve built the foundation, now enjoy the ride

If you are able to stay consistent and steadily build strength and inten-sity over these 90 days, you should not only tackle a century or Gran Fondo, you can even enjoy it. Remember the analogy of the uncaged animal: as the event gets underway, avoid the urge to start too fast. You don’t want to show everyone how strong you can start (can you say “poser”?); you want to school them in the art of finishing strong.

Good luck, have fun and be pre-pared to get addicted. There are always beautiful double-centuries on the calen-dar... And, of course, LOTOJA!

MUD, SWEAT, AND GEARS: A Rowdy Family Bike Adventure Across Canada on 7 Wheels.Review by: Louis Melini

The book, Mud, Sweat, and Gears, is the 4th book by Joe Kurmaskie. Metal Cowboy, Riding Outside the Lines and Momentum is Your Friend, are the other books, all of which I have reviewed in previ-ous issues of Cycling Utah.

If you recall, Momentum is Your Friend, is about Joe taking is 2 boys on a rollicking trip across the United States. In Mud, Sweat and Gears, Joe takes his boys across Canada along with his wife and their 1 year-old family addition. With his wife Beth along, Mud, Sweat and Gears becomes more than a sequel as she creates a new twist to family bike travel. With Joe as captain of the tandem, his son Quinn the stoker, Enzo brought up the rear in a trail-a-bike attachment. The 3 of them then pulled Matteo in a trailer for a total of 16 feet. With stuffed panniers and the gross weight approached 500 lbs. Beth came along with a single bike. This worked better than the initial trial run when they rode a triplet, a story in itself.

Joe writes the book in his usual zany and comical way. Joe describes himself as a “sunsets and tea man” but he writes like a man who just downed a dozen cups of espresso. As a reader you will enjoy being thrust along from one little adventure to another. (The scene approaching a ferry) “Then my plan really fell apart. We couldn’t get down to the boats except by elevator, and we

couldn’t go back the way we came. With the speed of an Indy pit crew, I disconnected our contraption at the trail-a bike. Somehow, using luck, smoke, and mirrors, I managed to force it and the boys into an eleva-tor. David Copperfield would have been proud.”

Beth adds to the book. Many of the pages come with footnotes that are Beth’s responses to Joe’s writ-ings. These footnotes by Beth are an outrageously funny addition to the book. For example, when Joe decid-ed that the triplet wasn’t working out and thought Beth should ride his single touring bike, he wrote “She was stunned”. Beth’s footnote reply was “I was relieved. No matter how hard it was to wrap my head around soloing across Canada, I would have taken a bullet before getting back on that beast”. Beth apparently doesn’t ride as much as Joe, so riding solo across Canada seemed daunting. Her first response to riding solo was, “Just remind me how these gear-shifty things work again”. Joe had it all figured out. He was going to get his family across Canada. He had a plan. (Beth: “What plan? Joe was just making it up as he went”.)

Put yourself in Joe or Beth’s shoes. Two parents, 2 boys aged 9 and 7 and a 1-year-old in a trailer riding across Canada, an adventure sure to bring a lifetime of memo-ries. They share these adventures and memories with you throughout the book. You will read about the kindness of strangers, mixed with

the reality of a family riding on 2 wheels, or should I say 7 wheels. “Not 50 yards through the entrance, Ranger Selwin blocked our path. My greatest fear was that this grand-fatherly-looking type would tell us his campground was full, over-run by bears, closed for repairs, or most crucial, suffering a tainted water supply. In an act of good will he extended a baseball cap full of thimbleberries. I started to ask him something but he waved me off. Eat first, then we’ll get to the questions. Through a mouthful of fruit Quinn said what we were all thinking: I like this Canada”. The ride across Canada wasn’t always about receiv-ing the kindness of strangers. There is one chapter when the family stays and helps out a restaurant owner down on her luck, sprucing up the restaurant for the final sale, the business.

Mud, Sweat and Gears is a very good read. It’s about bike touring, it’s about family, and mostly it’s about what can happen when a fam-ily of 5 ride across Canada. Pick up your copy at your local bookstore, the gift shop at adventurecycling.org or get an autographed copy through Joe’s website www.metalcowboy.com.

rider profile

Rob Squire is One of Utah’s New Rising StarsBy Jared Eborn

There was a time, not too long ago, that Robbie Squire's goals as a cyclist were a lot simpler.

"When I first started riding, I thought it would be cool if some-day I could get free sunglasses or something like that from a spon-sor," Squire, one of Utah's brightest young cyclists, said. "Seriously, I thought if I could get some free Oakley's was beyond imagination."

Squire, currently in Europe rid-ing with a USA Cycling develop-ment squad, is getting those glass-es and then some. After making a big splash on the mountain bike and representing the USA in World Cup races in Europe, the young-ster caught the attention of pro teams and spent his 2010 season with a pair of squads -- Team Jamis on the dirt and Team Holowesko Partners, the U2 development team of Garmin-Transitions, on the road.

His experience was, like many young cyclists, up and down with some success in a few races and disappointment in others.

But when he clipped in to join the peloton at the Tour of Utah, the Alta High graduate found himself. Though just a 20-year-old, Squire held his own against the likes of Darren Lill, Burke Swindlehurst and Jeff Louder. Easily the biggest race of his young life, Squire finished 13th overall and just 9 minutes and 20 seconds behind race winner Levi Leipheimer.

"I had some pretty good fitness that race," Squire said. "But learn-ing when to flex it and when not to use it was not all there. But it came together for me at the Tour of Utah. After that race, I felt I was much more part of the team."

After years of specializing in dirt races, transitioning to rid-ing in a pack and exercising restraint at times was a challenge.

"The biggest thing was just learn-ing how to ride with a team," Squire said. "It took me a while to learn. But I definitely more ready for it this year."

The crash course in road riding has paid off.

Squire spent a couple of days wearing the leader's yellow jersey

at a stage race in the Dominican Republic in February before 'set-tling' for the best young rider jer-sey against some of the top talent from Central and South America.

"I was just sent down there as a training race," Squire said. "I tried to make it a point to get into some breaks and they happened to hold to the line.

"I had never been in a leader's jer-sey on the road before," he said. "It was a new experience for me for sure."

With that boost of confidence in the bank, Squire was sent to Europe for a few weeks of racing with the US National team. Races in Belgium, Croatia and elsewhere will prepare him for a season of racing in America with his Chipotle Development Team -- the U23 unit of the powerful Garmin-Cervello team.

He hopes to make a return to the Tour of Utah, but with his home-town race now on the UCI calendar, may be left watching the race in a supportive role. Regardless, Squire has a taste of what pro cycling is all about and is hungry for more.

"Every year, I'm finding more of what I'm capable of," Squire said. "The goal now is to be a pro rider in Europe on a Pro Tour team."

That's a far cry from his not-too-long-ago goal of scor-ing some free sunglasses.

utah bike summit To Take place in late april

Bike Utah (formerly known as the Utah Bicycle Coalition) is hosting the 2011 Utah Bike Summit on Friday, April 29th, at the Miller Campus of Salt Lake Community College in Sandy, Utah. This year’s summit is the place to be for anyone with an interest in cycling. The summit’s organizers have planned an event with a wide-range of topics. The focus has been expanded to include not only advocacy, bicycle-friendly legislation, transportation planning and design, but also mountain biking, cycling events, the Utah bike industry, and cycling tourism. Speakers will also focus on the con-nections of bicycling to health and wellness, as well as the environment.

Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists, will kick off the 2011 Utah Bike Summit with the keynote address. The goal of the summit is to make bicycling better for all and to get more people out on their bikes more often. Can that be done in a recession year? “Certainly,” says Tara McKee, the 2011 bike summit chair. “As the price of oil climbs, this an opportune time to convince people to try out bicycling as a low-cost transportation alternative. This year’s theme ‘Cycling Makes Cents’ is going to expound on that to show the economic benefits to cycling with job creation, tourism growth, and the positive impacts cycling infrastructure has on the community including benefits to local businesses. Cycling also contributes to reduced healthcare costs and has a low impact on the environment. That’s why it makes sense.”

To kick-off the Bike Summit events in a fun way, Bike Utah is hosting a movie night on Thursday, April

28 with a showing of “Race Across the Sky 2010,” and a chance to meet and mingle with some of Utah’s most popular Leadville 100 MTB racers. There will be awe-some cycling-related door prizes and raffle giveaways. The movie will begin at 7pm at the Megaplex 17 at Jordan Commons, 9400 South State Street, in Sandy, Utah. Tickets will be $10 and proceeds from the eve-ning will go to Bike Utah to preserve and promote safe cycling in the state of Utah.

This year’s event will include excellent speakers and panelists who are passionate about cycling in Utah including: Steve Miller, president of the Utah Cycling Partnership, Paul Oerlerich of Outdoor Utah, Becka Roolf, SLC Bicycle & Pedestrian Coordinator, Kevin Lewis from St. George Visitors and Convention Bureau, and Dr. Max Testa, a world-renowned cycling expert and coach.

The Summit will be followed with a Meet & Greet reception with state and local elected officials from across the state at the Canyon Sports Salt Lake Bicycle Transit Center at the Intermodal Hub in downtown Salt Lake City at 7pm. The evening is sponsored by Specialized and Bike Utah.

Registration is now open at www.utahbikesummit.com. The cost for the full-day event is $30, and students will receive a discount rate of $15. Early registration is encouraged: there will be Swag bags for all early regis-trants. The Miller Campus is located at 9750 South, 300 West. Valet bike parking will be available and ride maps will be on the summit website soon. Summit attendees can get to the Meet and Greet reception on the TRAX system if desired.

high school mountain bike league forming

Utah may have a new high school mountain bike league in the fall of 2012. A group of Utah cyclists is working hard to complete a bid for Emerging League status by June 30th to the NICA, the National Interscholastic Cycling Association. The Utah effort will mirror the struc-ture that began in Northern California and developed into the NORCAL High School Mountain Biking League.

As part of the bid process Utah must show that there is community inter-est and be able to gain league sponsorship pledges. Potential race venues must be mapped out with alternate courses. Most important will be the need for volunteers from the community.

“Volunteers are going to make this league a possibility,” said Lori Harward, who is coordinating the bid process.

One of the biggest needs is to find people interested in coaching at every school possible. When the bid is accepted by NICA, coaches will be able to work with schools to establish student clubs that will make up the teams competing in the league.

“We feel very optimistic that Utah will get the bid to start racing in Fall 2012,” said Harward. “So far we are meeting all of the criteria required in the NICA bid process. The most exciting part is that we already have 50 volunteer coaches covering 35 different schools along the Wasatch Front and in St. George.”

Creating an environment to involve kids in cycling has been is the basis for organizing the bid. Lori Harward, Justin Thomas and Chris Bingham are among those leading the charge to gain league status with NICA.

“I hope to pass on the passion I have for cycling to the high school kids,” said Harward. “Seeing the photos from the NORCAL League really inspired me to become active in working towards this bid.”

Chris Bingham sees the mountain bike scene as family oriented, inclu-sive, and full of comradery among competitors. “There’s something that exists in mountain biking right now that is healthy for kids and families,” said Bingham. “It’s a lifestyle that can be continued for your entire life.”

The current effort is to identify race venues for the 4-6 races that will happen each season. Multiple courses need to be mapped for each poten-tial venue. In addition, the effort to identify coaches and begin organizing at the school level is underway. The first coach’s meeting takes place on March 22nd.

“Utah has some great venue sites that are less than an hour from Salt Lake City,” said Justin Thomas. He feels like it makes sense to get a high school mountain biking program started. As reflected by Bingham, Thomas said, “I believe that we are introducing kids to a sport that can be a lifetime sport.”

NICA provides a coaching summit as part of the kick off of the league. They partner with the Positive Coaching Alliance whose mission is, “trans-forming youth sports so sports can transform youth.”

“The next big effort will be to attract pledges for league sponsorship,” said Harward.

APRIL 2011 cycling utah.com 29

May 7th this year, is a full month before Little Red. Its popularity start-ed when it sold out in its first year. In 2011, the Herriman ride grew to 1000 and sold out in just a few weeks. The Goldilocks ride has expanded across state lines and introduced the first annual Goldilocks Las Vegas ride in October 2010. This year, a Goldilocks women’s ride will be making its first appearance on July 9th in Meridian, Idaho.

In St George, Margaret Gibson was also inspired by the Little Red Ride which was held 400 miles to the north and thought: Why not start one in her own town? So in April 2010, a new women’s-only century ride, Spokes for Hope was born. The ride with its four varied distance routes, goes through and around the beauti-ful Red Rock country of St. George. All proceeds from the ride go to help the Dove Center, a domestic violence shelter for women and children. This year, the Spokes for Hope ride will be held on Saturday April 30, 2011, making it an attractive destination for sun-seeking cyclists from the north.

2010 was also the first year for the Wonder Woman Century ride, southern Utah County’s all-women ride which was held in September. The ride had a festive atmosphere, energetic music, great food and “spe-cial surprises.” It was a hit and plans are all ready underway for the 2nd annual Wonder Woman ride which will be September 17, 2011. Wonder Woman is inviting younger girls to join in the fun this year with a fun,

free mother-daughter ride, only 1.5 & 3 miles, during packet pick-up on Friday.

Two new Utah women’s cycling events are being launched in 2011: the Wish 100 century ride, and a relay event, the Ladies’ Pamperfest Challenge. The Wish 100 will be held in St. George and will take advantage of Washington County’s mild autumn weather on October 22. The Make-A-Wish foundation is hosting this ride and offers a variety of lengths to appeal to novices and experienced cyclists alike: 10, 30, 60 & 100. Planners are having a lot of fun with the “making wishes” theme, and the event will be a fun getaway weekend with girlfriends. Registration will open in the spring with incentives available for different fundraising levels achieved. All pro-ceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Utah.

The Ladies Pamperfest Challenge offers a different experience for female cyclists with a relay race or tour (take your pick!) for teams of 2-4 cyclists to ride the 163-mile distance over scenic back roads from Snowbasin Ski Resort, through Summit County and ending at the Riverwoods in Provo. The event, which will be held on Saturday, July 9, 2011, offers spa-style rest stops with manicures and “mini-pedis,” and delicious food, including gour-met chocolates. (Their website: http://rockwellrelay.com/ladies-pam-perfest-challenge/ )

For the girls who like to tri, there are two women’s triathlons to choose from. On May 21, the http://www.schopke.com/foreverfitevents.com/

index.html will kick off their 6th annual sprint pool triathlon at the American Fork Fitness Center. After the event, an athlete who has been nominated by her peers, is crowned as the 2011 Woman of Steel. This award is given in tribute to a woman who has been a role model to oth-ers in facing life's difficult chal-lenges and situations with a positive approach in all aspects of her life and has used physical fitness and train-ing to help her overcome difficult circumstances.

This is the inaugural year for the new Women Rock Triathlon, which will be held on July 2nd at Rockport State Park about 40 miles from Salt Lake City. This triathlon offers the only lake swim event in Utah exclusively for women. The beginner-friendly event promises to have “swim buddies” available, allowing more hesitant participants to complete the swim safely & com-fortably. Women Rock, put on by BBSC Endurance Sports offers a sprint distance triathlon as well as a 5K run. (Website: www. bbsctri.com/women-rock/)

Guys may wonder why women want to ride in these female-centric events. Part of it may be the sup-portive, not-so-macho feel of these events. But then again, I believe there is an innate desire within many of us women to ride simply for pleasure and to connect with other women, make friends, and have that bond of sisterhood—even on a bike.

A Weekend on the Kokopelli Trail“Fast-packing” the 142-mile Dirt Route Both Challenging and Rewarding

By Jill Homer

Can the Kokopelli Trail be ridden as a self-supported overnight ride? I wondered this as I contemplated a plausible solo bikepacking route for a weekend in Utah, in the middle of May.

It wasn’t really a matter of wheth-er it could be done, but whether it would be fun. The 142-mile multi-use route travels from Loma, Colorado to Moab, Utah. The trail utilizes dirt roads with varying degrees of rough-ness, long sections of sand, paved roads and a few miles of singletrack. It wends through the corridor of the Colorado River, crossing open deserts, winding through narrow can-

yons and rising to the high plateaus beside the LaSal Mountains before dropping into Moab. The entire route contains more than 17,000 feet of climbing.

The Bureau of Land Management, which marked and maintains the route that was created by the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association, warns users that a multi-day outing or through-ride requires extensive planning. There are only a handful of established campsites along the route and no services. Most mountain bikers uti-lize four-wheel-drive support vehi-cles, which can shadow riders along parts of the route, but not all of it. Therefore, vehicle meetings and

pick-ups must be arranged, campsites planned, and food and water shuttled. Kokopelli Trail rides often take four to six days; even then, riding 30 miles a day with vehicle support can be physically very taxing even for experienced riders. Most importantly of all, the BLM warns, there is no water along the route.

There’s no treated water, but there are a trickle of natural water sources that I knew I would need to tap if I could make the distance over-night. Most of these water sources were questionable, but I knew the Colorado River would be a reliable source of water at the very least. The Kokopelli Trail crosses the river near the halfway point of the ride, at the

former Dewey Bridge, a footbridge that burnt down in 2008. Riders must now cross the river on the highway bridge. I knew I could get water there; I figured for an overnight ride, one reliable source would probably be enough.

I packed a six-liter bladder, an extra 24-ounce water bottle, two days worth of food, warm clothing and lightweight bivy gear on my Surly Karate Monkey, a 29-inch steel hard-tail mountain bike. I awoke early in Fruita, hopeful for a full day of riding to the Dewey Bridge, when I realized one of the spokes in my rear wheel was loose. Blast! I really would need to get that fixed before embarking on 142 miles of rough mountain biking. I drifted back to sleep and waited for the bike shop to open.

Over the Edge Sports in Fruita is the go-to place for Kokopelli riders, supplying trail guides, advice, parts and even bike rentals. I took my wheel in after they opened at 10 a.m. and told the mechanic I was hoping to start my trip that day. He promptly whisked the wheel to the back room, fixed the spoke and trued the wheel, and within 20 minutes I was back on the road. Still, repacking my gear,

checking to make sure I had all of the food and supplies I needed and pedaling to the trailhead took up the rest of the morning, and by the time I entered the dusty singletrack above Horsethief Canyon, it was well after noon.

The first 14 miles of the trail snakes along a narrow bench above the Colorado River. The technical singletrack includes staircase-like rock drops, some boulder gardens, tight corners and steep descents exposed to stomach-churning drop-offs. It’s the most fun riding of the entire route, but the Fruita section can also be a rude awakening to the sheer difficulty of the Kokopelli Trail, especially in the heat of the day. By the time I reached Salt Creek — whose slow trickle of water was reportedly undrinkable due to an abundance of heavy metals — I was drenched in sweat, exhausted, and starting to see double beneath the blazing May sun. As I pushed my loaded bike up the rocky hillside, I looked up the valley to see traf-fic streaming down I-70 in the far distance. I briefly considered turning up the valley, joining the freeway, and making a quick escape back to Fruita. I felt like I was in way over my head.

The route entered a smooth but sandy doubletrack road, dropping into the Rabbit Valley beside tow-ering sandstone cliffs and buttes. The sun drifted lower on the hori-zon and the cool crispness of the air renewed my heat-sapped energy stores. I sipped water and spun easy toward the Colorado River, soak-ing in a brilliant crimson and gold sunset that streaked across the entire sky. By the time I passed the turnoff to the Westwater Ranger Station, darkness had come. I switched on my lights as the trail became rockier and more difficult to navigate. Just before I reached the road crossing at Highway 28, I ran out of water.

As I rider who at the time lived in the moist coastal climate of Juneau, Alaska, it was difficult for me to comprehend how I could have burned through nearly seven liters of water in nine hours, but I had. Luckily the sun was gone; it would only be a mildly uncomfortable struggle through the final sandy miles until I reached the Dewey Bridge, at about mile 77 of the route. It had been a long day, 12 hours of riding in the hot sun and darkness. I pulled out my water filter, put one end in the muddy water of the Colorado River and the other end directly in my mouth. I pumped slightly salty water down

my throat until my stomach was full, and then filled my water bladder and bottle.

I set up my camp on a bluff above the river, laying out my sleeping bag and bivy sack in the sand and enjoying a midnight dinner of peanut butter, crackers and pumpkin seeds. Above me, a wash of stars illuminat-ed the indigo sky, and the half-moon cast a violet glow on the sagebrush and juniper trees. The wind was finally calm, the air deeply quiet, and I felt a warm glow of satisfaction, the knowledge that I had worked hard and traveled far to find this perfect moment of peace.

The following morning brought a long, gravel-strewn climb right out of the gate. The next 66 miles would pack a gut-busting 11,000 feet of the route’s elevation gain, much of it on a rocky, steep rollercoaster of jeep track that denied any hope of real rest. The trail through the Entrada Bluffs was ranked difficult to very difficult, relentlessly dropping into sandy washes and ascending steep rock gardens. It also is most remote section of the route.

It took me five hours to cover 24 miles of trail with little accumulative elevation gain, but I was grateful to drop into the cool, green openness of Fisher Valley. My maps showed a small stream called Onion Creek that I hoped might contain water I could use to refill my stores, but I couldn’t locate it along the trail. The road simply followed a dry wash before it started to ascend the steep bluffs again. The BLM certainly wasn’t exaggerating when it said there was no water on the Kokopelli Trail. Even though seven liters seemed like a lot, it would have been prudent to carry even more.

I pedaled out of Fisher Valley on a wide gravel road and entered Hideout Canyon. The rough road continued to climb out of the dry mesa and into

the lush ponderosa-covered foothills of the Manti-LaSal National Forest. From Beaver Mesa, I could gaze over the edge of cliffs to the sweep-ing Colorado River Valley, now more than 4,000 feet below. The heat of the day eased once again, and I could see a thick blanket of snow covering the high peaks of the LaSals.

From the mesa, the Kokopelli Trail drops onto a paved road into Castle Valley. The descent is scream-ingly fast, but it doesn’t spell the end of the climbing as one might hope. Another long ascent on pavement took me back into the mountains with more fantastic views of the redrock valley below. A brushy, eroded grav-el road followed the hillside to the beginning of the Sand Flats Road, which led to a swooping, fun descent into the city of Moab. The sun set as I descended into the cliffs of Porcupine Rim, casting beautiful red light on the sandstone hoodoos and juniper trees.

I was down to just a few ounces of water again when I arrived in Moab. I was also nearly out of food, but I was full yet again with the beauty of the evening, a pleasant feeling of fatigue, and the satisfaction of meeting the challenge I had set for myself. My total time out on the Kokopelli Trail was about 34 hours — a great way to spend a weekend.

The Kokopelli Trail is indeed doable as a two-day ride, but those planning to cover the distance in a single weekend should be prepared to be completely self-sufficient, as services along the route are nonex-istent, and the availability of help is also slim. I started the ride with about seven liters of water but it clearly wasn’t enough. If I were to do it again, I would take at least 10, and a bit more food than I had carried. I also started the ride with about 5,000 calories, and ate most of it. I think 7,000 or so would have been more

sufficient.

However, I believe many rela-

tively experienced mountain bikers

with a fair amount of endurance can

tackle this trail in a weekend, and it

is well worth the challenge.

nuts and bolts:

What: The Kokopelli Trail is a 142-mile mostly dirt route connect-ing the mountain biking meccas of Fruita, Colorado and Moab, Utah.

When to go: Elevations on the

Kokopelli Trail range from 3,800 feet to above 8,000 feet, so there is a small window of time when there’s not too much snow in the higher elevations, but not too much heat in the valleys. The best months of the year to attempt the route are spring, from mid-April to late-May, and mid-September to October.

What to bring: Even in the ideal season, temperatures can range from the high 90s during the day to the high 30s at night. Thunderstorms can hit at any time. Pack about twice the amount of water you think you’ll really need, about 4,000 calories a day of food, warm clothing, a water-proof jacket, a sleeping bag rated to 32 degrees, and a sleeping pad. Check the weather reports before you go, as rainstorms can make parts of the route extremely difficult or impassable.

The Kokopelli Trail: The trail is marked with reflected markers at most intersections, but it pays to acquire a map and cues of the route.
