Riverview Wins 2nd CX Title!

Following Ned Overend's lead, who lives 6 doors down from my Durango Riverview neighborhood home, Todd Wells, who lives a further 4 doors away, secured a National Cyclocross title on Sunday in Bend, Oregon. I only wish I was still in good enough shape to ask Mrs. Overend and Mrs. Wells if Todd and Ned could come over to ride with me. Look for the upcoming review of their championship Specialized bikes by Matt Phillips of Bicycling Magazine, who lives next door.

Wells wipes the field clean

Todd Wells (Specialized-Cal Giant) captured his first cyclo-cross win of the season, the one that counted the most, at the UCI elite men's USA Cycling Cyclo-cross Championships held on Sunday in Bend, Oregon. The newly-crowned national champion outgunned the hometown favourite Ryan Trebon (Kona-FSA) who placed second and recent US Gran Prix of Cyclo-cross (USGP) overall winner Jeremy Powers (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com) in third.

Wells won the mountain bike cross-country and short track national championships earlier this year. He took some time off to recover from a successful summer of racing before diving into the cyclo-cross season this Fall with a goal of winning the national title. He is no stranger cyclo-cross stars and stripes jersey, having won the event on two previous occasions - in 2001 and 2005.

"All my jerseys are pretty special to me but it's always nice to get a title and this one is right up there with the others," Wells said.

Wells dedicated his victory to friend and former team manager, Jerry Hutchinson, who passed away this summer. "He passed away six weeks ago and I wanted to dedicate the race to him and get a victory," Wells said. "I was thinking about him the whole time and I felt like he was with me out there."

Ned Puts it Down on the Grass!

From CyclingNews.com:

Ned Overend adds to Stars-and-Stripes jersey collection

The 55-59 master men's contest was a battle of heavy hitters, with the legendary Ned Overend (Specialized) powering to a solo victory.

Finishing second in yesterday's time trial to ‘Cross Vegas organizer Brooke Watts (Cody Racing), Overend started on the front row start with reigning national champion Paul Curley (Midstate Cycling Club-Gear Works) and six other strong men. Norman Kreiss (Morgan Stanley) surged from the second row to take the early lead while Curley and Overend rode patiently behind Kreiss on the first lap.

"The course was changing all the time," said Overend. "It was kind of dicey on that first lap, but then I was able to bridge up to Norm and put it down on the grass areas."

Overend finished nearly one minute up on silver medalist Kreiss, while Randall Root secured the bronze medal 2:51 behind Overend.

Master Men 55-59

1. Edmund (Ned) Overend (Specialized) 0:42:38

2. Norman Kreiss (Morgan Stanley Cycling Team) 0:00:57

3. Randall Root (Evolution Cycling Club p/b Long & Foster) 0:02:51

DWC Wins 2 CX Golds

The Durango Wheel Club garnered two 2010 Cyclocross National Championships on the first day of competition in Bend, Oregon. Walt Axthelm added to his enormous pile of National and World Championships when he won yet another National Cyclocross title in the Men's Masters 75-79 category. And Martha Iverson, with her own enormous pile of National and World Championships, won the Women's Masters 60-64.

Oklahoma City 1, Durango 0

It's with regret we announce the move of local cycling advocate Jeanine Justice, Executive Director of Healthy Lifestyles LaPlata (HLLP) - a coalition of health & wellness professionals who work to create a healthy, active and sustainable community. She is moving soon to Oklahoma City, and she'll be much missed by the Durango cycling community.

Jeanine contributed tirelessly to the cycling advocacy cause (asking for little credit) and often working in helpful collaboration with Wade Moore and Drew Bourey of the Safe Roads Coalition. Her organizational skill, support and financial backing helped make possible such notable, policy-changing events as:

• The Durango Bicycle Summit which resulted in Durango being named a Silver Level Bicycle Friendly Community and began the process of hiring Durango's first Multimodal Director, Amber Blake.

• The world-famous Dan Burden's "Creating Healthy Communities" workshop.

• A Safe Routes to School grant in collaboration with the City of Durango for Park Elementary School in the amount of $208,000.

• ... and so much more!

Good luck Jeanine, and thanks!

Alexi Tells All

We recently received an email from the one-and-only Alexi Grewal, who is in training for a late life comeback. He directed us to a post on his Blog, "Back In Among The Wheels", that elaborated on his historic 1984 Olympic Road Race win. As a friend of ours who knew Alexi back then says, "Alexi was one smart bike racer. Not altogether a noble character, but honest." All we can say is, "Read & Enjoy!"

From: Alexi

As stories go, my friends and enemies might like to know this one.
I titled it "The Skin Suit", but "The Traitor", or "Free Ride" would work too.

THE SKINSUIT: A.K.A. THE OLYMPICS IN L.A.

Before we get too far down the road, there is a story I must tell. It is a story I have already shared with Davis Phinney, my main rival then and always. But now I will tell it for all.

The story of the Los Angeles Olympics, from my perspective. First off, I did not stay with the team before the event, because of my positive test for ephedrine at the Coor’s Classic I ended up flying out to L.A. on Len Pettyjohn’s dime with my own support crew. So what ever did or did not happen with the blood doping scandal of those days I had no part of it.

I rode my bike to the start. With Len Pettyjohn carrying my spare wheels and bottles. When I got there it was tense. My instructions were simple, ride for Davis, I said fine, except that I told Eddy I would be going solo late in the race. He said ok. That was the race meeting for me, the first time Eddy and I had spoken in months.

In the race however and in my mind and prep I never gave one thought to really giving away my chance. I was there to win, it was all I knew at that point in life.

Once the race started, of course there are duties you must do, play your part in the race be present to observe and watch the front. On the very first lap I had worked myself up to the transition zone at the front, the place where you have to choose to follow moves or stay put. At the top of the first long climb both Ron Kiefel and I were present when a string of riders worked itself free as the climb crested and the road turned fast. We both looked at each other. For a second, I am sure neither of us really wanted to be exposed that early in the race. No matter his demeanor Ron Keifel wanted to win just as much as anyone else. I have always considered him a hard man to beat.

He hesitated, we were in equally good positions to respond. Intuition told me to go, so I wound it up, saving my legs as best I could and made the effort to bridge and join. The second I got there I knew it was good. A free ride with the likes of the Austrian Helmet Weshelberger in the move and willing to drive it.

From that point forward a certain rhythm was established. I was up the road ahead of the other favorites with the exception of Helmut. I did not have to work and I only had to follow one man. The latitude was there to let him go also. It was more or less the perfect place to be in. I knew it. I was not thinking what I could do to help Davis, I was thinking how I could use the situation to work all my rivals against each other, and conserve my legs which were marginal.

I am an observant bike racer, the tension on the U.S. team was visible. Thurlow was ashen, Kiefel was quiet, Phinney was wearing a skin suit. There was no doubt in my mind Keifel and Phinney were gonna be good. The skinsuit was information I filed away. Only one pocket was sewn into it and we faced a hot, hilly two hundred kilometer race. One feed zone per lap on a downhill, right near the start finish, wearing a skin suit with one pocket was to rely on the unreliable.

FLC Wins Again!

Fort Lewis Cycling Team Wins 4th Consecutive MTB National Championship

Fort Lewis cyclists adorned in their hard-earned Stars and Stripes jerseys

The recent Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships could not have gone any better for the Fort Lewis College Cycling Team. By the end of the weekend they had thirteen podium finishes and took the overall team win for the fourth year in a row. Sage Wilderman took second in the Cross Country, won the short track, and then hopped on a Downhill bike and took the win there, too. Rotem Ishay won both the Cross Country and the Short Track for his second year in a row. Jack Hinkens, a freshman for FLC, podiumed in both of his first appearences at collegiate nationals. FLC also had three racers show their diversity in the sport and accumulated enough points over the weekend to reach the podium for the individual omnium award. These three riders were Nate Byrom, Sage Wilderman, and Kaila Hart, who placed fourth in the Short Track. Other podium finishes consisted of Sarah Sturm, who placed third in the Short Track, and Taylor Borucki, who placed fifth in the Downhill. Although podium finishes are relished, it was the overall team effort that allowed Fort Lewis College to be the overall 2010 Mountain Bike National Champions. Congratulations FLC!!!

Wade 1, Lazy 0

Before

Below is the "Pincer Movement" Wade Moore confronted near the intersection of Hwy 160/550 and River Road on his cycling commute to work this Monday - just before an area were they're resurfacing the asphalt highway. Scary, huh? But worry not, Wade has contacted the proper authorities and CDOT has promised to rectify the obvious problem.

Shortly Thereafter

Our hats off to Mike McVaugh (CDOT Region 5 Traffic and Safety Engineer) who, when alerted by Wade to the aforementioned problem said, "Hmmm... that's not right!". Mike quickly contacted the proper personnel who immediately rectified the problem - as shown below. And as a bonus, they swept the shoulder of accumulated debris. Now it's a clean bike commute coming from east of town. Thanks Mike!

New Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory development team signs five

A new under 25 mountain bike racing team will appear on the US domestic racing circuit for the 2011 season. The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Devo Sweet Elite presented by Spine Colorado/Durango Orthopedics and Fort Lewis College is based in Durango, Colorado, and managed by past US pro road champion Chris Wherry.

The team will include racers such as Under 23 US cross country national champion Tad Elliott and 2009 US Collegiate cyclo-cross champion Teal Stetson-Lee, Collegiate and junior national champion Howard Grotts and junior national champion Alicia Rose Pastore. Fort Lewis rider Colton Andersen is also on the squad, which will be coached by Joey Thompson.

Wherry explained to Cyclingnews how the team came to be: "The team sort of developed from Durango Devo, a youth mountain bike program. They have kids from age five through high school. After that, the available programs drop off.

"We have super talented mountain bike riders coming out of the woodwork, and we decided that it would be a great idea to help these kids get to the elite level of the sport. They will have a chance to see where the sport will take them."

In 2010, Durango Devo riders won eight titles at the National Championships in Granby, Colorado. Last month, Fort Lewis College was crowned collegiate mountain bike national champions for 2010. Read More HERE:

Pro bike: Ned Overend’s Specialized Rockhopper SL Singlespeed

By: Matt Pacocha, Bikeradar.com

Ridden by Ned Overend to the 2010 US MTB Single Speed National Championship

55-year-old Ned Overend was planning on racing in the elite category at this year's US Mountain Bike National Championships. Instead, Deacon James, Specialized’s director of recreational cross-country R&D, asked if he’d be interested in racing the new 29in-wheeled Rockhopper SL singlespeed.

Overend happily accepted James’s request. Had he raced with the pros, he likely would have beaten half of them. Instead, he became the new national singlespeed champion. “It was a good excuse not to race with the pros,” said Overend. “ That was going to be an ugly race.”

The former world champion duked it out with Cameron Chambers (Specialized Stumpjumper Trail Crew) for most of the race. The former 24-hour national champion was also on a Specialized, though a Stumpjumper with 140mm of travel. Read More HERE ...

The Ultimate Gregario

In 1996, Fabio Sacchi of Milram was awarded the Gregario d'Oro by Francesco Moser. In the final stage of that year's Giro d'Italia, the rider from Milano proved his star-studded domestique status by carrying 26 water bottles simultaneously from the team car back to his teammates in the peloton. Yep, 26 little 20-oz water bottles...

Dog Tired

Why so tired? Well, Larry Goldstein (on the far side of the bed) has just finished co-directing the 2010 Durango Fall Blaze with his wife Jana - who is undoubtedly still hard at work when this photo was taken. The Fall Blaze is a fundraising century ride to benefit the Fort Lewis College Cycling Scholarship Fund, and this year they raised a record total of over $40,000. So, a doff of our cycling caps to both Larry and Jana Goldstein for putting on a great event for a worthy cause.

Righteous Lemonade

The Durango Cyclery, longtime and local Durango bike shop, is a driving force behind a great community project called Bicycle Lemonade. They are dedicated to building community and protecting our planet by keeping bicycles out of landfills and encouraging more people to ride them more often. By restoring otherwise abandoned bicycles for a relatively low cost and teaching people how to maintain and repair them, they foster a cleaner, more active and more interactive community. So support them when you can!

From the Durango Herald - September 27, 2010

The local group Bicycle Lemonade spent Sunday afternoon doing what it does best: fixing up and giving away recycled bikes to people who need them, this time to the 22 residents at the Durango Community Shelter.

Rachel Bauske, project manager for the shelter, said about 80 percent of the shelter's residents arrive with no form of transportation. The shelter has a handful of bicycles it loans, though several have fallen into disrepair.

"Durango Transit will help us out by giving us a bus pass, but that's just a bus pass for one person when we have up to 35 people staying here," Bauske said. "Although we work closely with community partners, getting bikes is crucial for our residents because that may be their only means of transportation at times."

Wanting to help, Bicycle Lemonade volunteer Russell Zimmermann approached Bauske about holding an event at the shelter to not only give away bikes but also repair the shelter's current bicycle fleet. Bauske agreed.

On Sunday morning, the all-volunteer Bicycle Lemonade crew arrived at the shelter with two pickup loads of bicycles and the parts and tools needed to make them work. Residents at the shelter each picked out a bike and then assisted in repairing it.

"We try to meet the person who's the prospective new owner of the bicycle before we start fixing it and make them part of the process," Zimmermann said. "Even if they're not a bike mechanic, maybe they can learn to patch a tube or oil a chain properly or something like that."

Bicycle Lemonade volunteer Jon Bailey said the work new bike owners put into their bikes makes them inherently more valuable.

"The value is created through the sweat equity that you put into it," he said. "This way, you're putting in time and learning something, and you're pumped."

The group's primary purpose is to rescue bikes from ending up in landfills. Donated bikes are fixed and given away, not sold. Money has been completely removed from the equation.

"The only way this happens is the community donates their bikes, donates the space, donates the time and then donates the bikes back to the community," Bailey said.

The group currently operates via booths set up at local events with information about dates and times spread primarily by word of mouth. Bicycle Lemonade is looking for someone who will donate space it can use as a base of operations, where someone who needs a bike can get one.

"Right now, bikes aren't an issue for us, it's having a workable spot to invite the public so we don't have to go somewhere and set up every time," Bailey said.
