Road Respect Tour - Utah, June 13-18

2011-06-07T10:08:00.003-06:00

UDOT Road Respect Tour - Who wants to join a leg of the ride?

In order to encourage safe cycling and to promote the Road Respect message throughout the state, The Utah Department of Transportation, Zero Fatalities and the Department of Public Safety will be sponsoring the first-ever Road Respect Tour, a bike ride across Utah. Beginning in Logan on June 13 and ending in Hurricane on June 18, a core group of 25 professional Road Respect riders will ride across the state, demonstrating obedience to the road rules and proper cycling etiquette. The riders will visit several cities across the state to participate in fun and educational community events called Road Respect Rallies, or shorter visits called Road Respect Stops.

The public is invited to join the ride and to attend Rallies or Stops. If you would like to join the Road Respect Tour into or out of your community, you are invited to meet the core group at the corresponding "Transition Zone." Those who join the Tour through Transition Zones are responsible for their own food, water, support and accommodations. The exception is the Moab ride, which will have rest stops with food, water and two SAG vehicles.

Here is the email:

All,

Hope to see you all there!

P.S. Mark your calendars for Hell of the North on April 2nd. We want to have a lot of collegiate racers out on that day.

I got a call from an anonymous UVU rider, and they're taunting the other schools, so come on out and everyone bring your A-game!

Todays Crit

2010-07-12T21:17:00.005-06:00

With one lap in the bag the pace jumped up dramatically. The pack started to string out and bleed riders. After a few more laps there was the sound every racer hates. Someone pinged a pedal on the ground in the second turn taking a few riders down. Four riders were now away with more than half the race to go.

With a little less than two laps to go, Nolan Finlayson jumped off of the front of the lead group and pushed himself out a few seconds. He held the lead to take the win. It was a good race and a good time. Not to mention it paid out. The more people that come, the more money you can win. Tell all your friends to come race.

BMC at the Tour of Utah

2010-07-12T10:41:00.002-06:00

BMC Racing Team Will Compete At Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah

National road champion George Hincapie, and Salt Lake City native and
2008 Tour of Utah winner Jeff Louder to race

SALT LAKE CITY - July 12, 2010 - The 2010 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah presented by Zions Bank is pleased to announce that the BMC Racing Team will participate in next month's race with a squad of five-riders.

The squad will include three-time National Road Rhampion George Hincapie, Salt Lake City native and 2008 Tour of Utah winner Jeff Louder, and fellow Americans Chris Barton, Chris Butler and Swiss national Simon Zahner.

Hincapie went pro in 1994 and is recognized for riding on the team of eight Tour de France champions and for being the only rider to join Lance Armstrong in all seven of his victories from 1999-2005.

"I'm excited to be able to do another race in the U.S.," said Hincapie. "From what Jeff and other racers have told me, The Tour of Utah is well organized and very demanding."

Louder has been a pro-cyclist since 2000 and lives in Salt Lake City when he's not racing overseas. Besides his win at the 2008 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah, he also finished third overall at last year's race, and has finished on the podium in several international races including the Tour de Beauce and the Tour of Qinghai Lake.

"I am very happy to be racing the Tour of Utah with BMC Racing," said Louder. "As a Utah native, I am particularly motivated to do well and we are bringing a team that will be competing for the win."

The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah is a six-day, 300-mile plus professional bicycle road race along the Rocky Mountain's Wasatch Range through some of Utah's most beautiful and challenging terrain. Scheduled to take place next month, August 17-22, 2010, the Tour of Utah will attract 18 professional cycling teams totaling 144 cyclists competing for a cash/prize purse of $45,000.

More than 30,000 spectators are expected to line the racecourse and attend the festivals in Ogden, Park City, Provo, Salt Lake City and Tooele.

UVU Crits!!!

2010-07-02T14:08:00.001-06:00

UVU crits start this Monday July 5th, Two really cool things this year.

1st

We got a new way better course. It is dead flat, 1.2 mile Closed Course, Brand New Asphalt,

The course is 4 corners and two of the four are double wide roundabouts.

At first we will offer 3 races, Kids category at 5 pm, cats 4,5 at 6pm and cats 1,2,3 at 7pm. As attendance increases, so will the categories.

2nd thing thats really cool.

We dont wanna make money off this crit. We just want to promote cycling, Especially in the big UC. So we are offering a 100% payout. We have to pay usacycling for each rider, refs, and for EMT's. But after those are paid all the other monies will be put back into paying out cash purses.

Also, we believe its kinda lame to just pay the top 3 riders, so we are stretching it out 6 deep.

Finally, SBR will offer Prime lap prizes. Both races will have a Prime lap of $10 cash!!!

Crit is near Vineyard Park in Orem Approx 200 s. I will post the flyer as soon as I get it.

Bring your friends!!!!! The more people who come the more we can pay out!!!

Group Ride from SBR Sports

2010-06-11T13:10:00.002-06:00

First off:
Be sure to keep Dr Creer and his family in your thoughts and prayers as DC recovers from his accident. I'm sure he would appreciate a contact to let him know we are all behind him 100%.

Second:
There are two new weekly ride options for us to join in on, both depart from SBR Sports. The ride times are Saturday at 9:30 am and Tuesday at 5:30 pm. These will be good group rides to get into, and riders will get 10% off of all the goodies at SBR on ride days! Check out the SBR page at the following for more info:

2010-06-04T08:36:00.002-06:00

A circuit race takes place twice a month out in Tooele, this was our first time out there and it ended up being a pretty good time. It is a perfect course with mellow corners and it ends up being pretty fast. Eric Ellis had a really strong race and took 1st by a long shot in the B group. He even dropped a the majority of the A group that remained after a crash.

Mason had a solid 4th place finish in the C flight. Good job guys!

Upcoming Race Schedule

2010-03-01T11:10:00.003-07:00

This Saturday March 6th, is the first mountain bike race of the season, it is in St George.

The first road race of the season is the following Sat- Sun March 13-14. It will be an omnium (TT, criterium, road race) and will count for upgrade points on your license, however, it is not on our college schedule. It would be an excellent race to get your feet wet and start learning about tactics and strategies associated with road racing. It will also help to gain some top end fitness that is so hard to get outside of racing.

We already have a small group going down for the mountain bike race.

If you are interested in doing either of these races contact Pat at 801-898-1000 or post a reply on this board.

If Neither of these events interest you the remember our first college race is March 25-26th

Fundraiser opportunity

2010-01-26T18:58:00.016-07:00

Attention cycling team members. Our team is in desperate need of fundraiser ideas. Fundraisers are how our pays for really cool things such as trainers, and St. George trips and race registrations! This is YOUR club. Your contribution to the club will determine how much you get out of the club. Guys bring us your ideas. Lets make them happen.

Heres my latest and greatest. We are measuring body fat on all the fitness for life students (approximately 200 of them). I have designed a schedule that we will test the majority of them in a two day period.

Thursday and Friday February 4th and 5th. This fundraiser is set up like any other, ie. your participation is not required, however, will be rewarded.

We need a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 people running the show all day long. Slots are filling fast so leave a comment on here as to which hours you want. First come first served.

Finally, If you have any friends who would like to have the most accurate body fat analysis available, sign em up. It's only 10 bucks and its all fundraiser money baby! Go anywhere else and your lookin to pay at least 40.

Slots are limited for Team Training

2009-12-18T12:22:00.006-07:00

Its time to sign up for team training!!! Dr Creer, Eric Ellis, and myself have worked hard to put together two different training programs both of which will require a minimum of 5 hours per week to complete. Both programs will start tentatively Jan. 6th and run for 8 weeks. Count on aprox. 4 total hours of testing split up over 6 days. 3 of which will be Jan 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, (first week back of school) and the other 3 will be 8 weeks later.

Here is the rundown:

Fitness testing pre and post both training programs which will include:

Hydrostatic body fat analysis

20 minute power output test

VO2 max test

Wingate test (sprint power output)

Training program #1

5 hours per week endurance type training

This training can be any type of training you prefer from running to cross country skiing, to biking or snowshoeing. As long as you get a minimum of 5 hours per week in and you are working in a moderate aerobic intensity it will be sufficient.

Training program #2

2 sessions a week of instructed weight training (aprox 1 hour each)

3 hours per week endurance type training (same restrictions as previously stated)

If you choose the second training program, it is mandatory to lift our prescribed workout ONLY! It is also vital that regardless the program you decide, that you stick with it. 5 hours per week is a minimal amount of training if your goals are to be competitive in the spring. Flexibility will be allowed if you want to spend more hours doing endurance activities.

The testing involved is well over $300 per person if you go anywhere else. (it will cost you nothing).

We have a lot of people volunteering their personal time for this project so please consider it carefully before making a commitment.

Please contact me with any question either by leaving a comment or by phone.

Club/Team BBQ

2009-11-10T22:34:00.001-07:00

There will be no group ride this week. The weather is not looking so nice on Thursday. As a replacement to the ride we will be having a BBQ at Matt Wilson's home. This is not part of the volunteer BBQ's we are doing, so don't worry we won't ask you to grill. We just ask you to come and have a good time. Here's all the info you need:

Matt Wilson's
453 North Palisade
Orem, Utah

Thursday November, 12th
7 - 9ish

This BBQ is short notice and we know it. We would like everyone there so we can discuss the race calendar in the spring, along with the Winter Training Camp and team kits.

Thanks again to all who have been helping out with fundraising. If you have T-shirts checked out, please bring back the money as soon as you get it.

Group rides.

2009-10-22T20:29:00.002-06:00

It is simple...come on group rides. Why? because they are awesome. Tonight we did South Fork and it was beautiful. We even happened upon a moose and her calf. There aren't many more of these this year so get out while you still can.

Meeting for Team Members

2009-10-05T15:12:00.003-06:00

There will be a meeting for those interested in participating in Team Racing this Fall and Spring at SBR Sports on Thursday at 7:30pm.
We will hopefully have water bottles and t-shirts for you to pick up if you have paid your club dues.
We will also have the ride schedules and phone numbers sheets for those of you who have paid dues. If you have not paid dues you need to before Wednesday night if you want to be on the contact and ride schedule sheet!!!
If you cannot make it to the meeting we will be e-mailing the ride sheet and contact list to everyone who has paid their club dues.
The meeting will be an intro to the shop and shop owner, Kyle, who is our team sponsor. We will ask him if he will say a few words and let you know about how he can help us out. If you haven't met him I would encourage you to come to the meeting or slip by the shop soon.
We will also talk about future racing plans, cyclocross season, and fundraising and service events that we will be hosting and participating in for the rest of the semester.
The meeting should be about an hour long (after we get everyone there - so try and be on time).
Please make every possible effort to be in attendance on Thursday.
Thanks guys! Keep riding hard!

Cyclocross Introduction Ride & Clinic

2009-09-28T00:21:00.003-06:00

Cross season is fast approaching and we are looking forward to fielding a team for our local cyclocross race series.
Cross is THE ticket for those of you wanting to get into racing on the road in the spring-time.
On Thursday night at 6pm we will be meeting at Campus (I'll update the location soon) for a short cross clinic, demonstration and ride. We will have a couple of guys who have cross experience there to answer questions, and talk about racing. We will also have information about converting your road bike to race cross or using a mountain bike.
Bring your bicycle and jump some barriers or learn to dismount and remount on the run! Cross bikes and mountain bikes if you have them. If you don't have one yet, bring your road bike, you can still learn a ton!
If you have any interest in cross racing come out Thursday night and have some fun with us!

Wednesday night ride

2009-09-21T21:08:00.002-06:00

Pat Terry is organizing a team ride Wednesday night at 8 pm meeting at his house and riding up Hobblecreek canyon on brand new pavement. He has a few extra lights but bring whatever you can. It will be about a 2 hour ride, out and back. If you want to go or have any questions let Pat know 801-898-1000

ULCER AT NIGHT

2009-09-19T14:38:00.003-06:00

We are going to be doing the ULCER ride tonight in the dark!

The ride is about 100 miles in length, so come prepared for a long one.

There will be a support car driving with us for food for the UVU guys. We are planning on about 10-12 guys.

Bring a light for your helmet or bike (or both) and a red taillight. We don't want anyone hit by a car, or riding into giant pot holes.

We will be meeting at the east parking lot (just to the east of the Computer Science Building and the UVU airplane.) at 6 PM.

Plan on being 6 hours on the road.

I think that we are going to ride the course counter-clockwise (the opposite of the normal ULCER route).

1000 Warriors a Success for UVU Team!

2009-08-25T22:00:00.011-06:00

We had a great day on Saturday, all things considered.
Eric Ellis beat the Cat 5C Field into submission on the climb to Snowbird and took the win by more than 8 1/2 minutes! Amazing ride!
We also had Andy, Pat, Joel, Bonn, Christian, Mason and Ian all race well.

We have most of the water bottles that we recovered from the race over at SBR. If you took bottles and were wondering what may have happened to them after the race, go in and see if they have made their way to SBR. (Likewise, if you have bottles that don't belong to you take them in). I know that there were a bunch from Eric and Joel there.

Mason, pick up your cooler at SBR.

All of the racers need to pay Dan $8.00 for the musette bags. Katie Woodward (Mike's wife) made the bags and Dan payed for the materials. We would like to be able to compensate Kate for her time and pay for the bags. If you still have musette bags take them into SBR, Dr. Creer's office, or give them to Mason or Dan so that we can use them in future events.

Be sure to thank Kyle and all of the guys at SBR for the work that they do for the team and for the sponsorship, deals and work that we receive. I know that Kyle is a friend of most of you already, and if you don't know him you should. So stop in and tell him you appreciate all they do for us.

Here are a few pictures of the race taken by Dr. Creer and Kyle out of the team car.

Eric Ellis (in blue jersey) and Andy Earl with the leaders above Sundance on the Alpine Loop.

Andy grabs a food break in the lead group on Alpine Loop.

Andy (3rd) and Eric (4th) are climbing well near the 3k to go mark on the Loop.

Climbing Suncrest.

Eric and Andy lead a select group of remaining riders to the top of Suncrest.

Andy working hard with Eric on the final 8% grade of Suncrest.

Four remain after the Suncrest decent - pulling on Highland Drive.

Eric leads the last contender around the corner onto the Little Cottonwood Canyon climb to Snowbird...

...And attacks, dropping him in the first 100 yards!

Eric catching Bonn from the Cat 4 group. Bonn would finish in an excellent 6th place.

Bonn contemplating "Selling his soul for water" as the LCC Devil taunts.

Eric climbs to victory.

Andy crossing the line in 12th place 21:29 down from Eric - a great ride!

Pat finishes the race at Snowbird.

Thank you to all who helped make the ride a success for UVU.

Thank you to Kyle and Dr. Creer for driving the team car, taking care of last minute repair issues, and "feeding the horses" during the race.

A big thank you to Bonn's family, and fiancee for running feed zones.
Mason's brother and "that girl he's dating" - Sara Ashley, did great driving a SAG vehicle for the fast boys on the team.

Kat, Pat's fiancee and her family also drove a SAG car for Pat, Joel and Dan - A special thank you to Kat for giving me that last musette bag on the Alpine Loop, I definitely would not have suffered through that climb without the food in there!

And the biggest "ooh-rah" goes out to Mike for making the ride possible for the UVU team. Way to go Mike, we missed having you on the roads suffering with us!

We hope that this ride will continue into the future.

Our best wishes are with the riders (and their families) injured in the crashes on the Alpine Loop decent and at the mouth of American Fork Canyon. We hope and pray you have a full and speedy recovery.

1000 Warriors Information

2009-08-16T21:27:00.004-06:00

Its almost time!
And we have a lot to do this week.

1st order of business:
We are racing at 6:50am and we are Cat 5 - C flite.
We have been granted a follow car for the race but we have three stipulations we must follow. 1. the car must follow the leaders of the race and cannot lag behind to other riders (those guys will have a van at the back to provide for mechanical and broom wagon duties). Since we plan on being in that group this should not be a big deal. 2. The follow car is to act as a "neutral wheel vehicle" and carry spare wheels provided by riders from the whole group in a first come, first served manner. This means only 8-10 sets or until the car is full. That should not be a big deal either. 3. The car can only provide SAG and food/water support for team riders in designated SAG hand-up and feed zones. (get a bottle if you flat while the car services you).

We benefit from having the car in several ways: We insure that the leaders of our team do not flat out and loose time due to punctures or simple mechanicals. We also insure that they are not missing feed zones and musette bags or water etc, because they can get hand-ups from the team car in the designated zones. We can also get tactical advice from the car during SAG and neutral zones.

Dr. Creer will most likely be driving this car.

Second manner of business:
We need several volunteers that are not riding the race to help in the feed zones by handing-up water and food to riders and giving time gap information.
What we need is 3 or 4 folks who feel confident enough to hand musette bags to riders without knocking them off of their bikes!
They will travel from Park City in team cars following the SAG vehicle route to the feed zones in Midway, Sundance, Alpine, Draper, and Little Cottonwood Canyon. Once we arrive at the finish they will have bags for the riders with clothes and food and hopefully be able to provide rides for our guys and their bikes back to Park City.
If you can do this we really need you to volunteer! Talk to Dan or Mason or Dr. Creer and leave a message here if you can!

Number Three:
Packets for riders are going to be available from 3-8:00pm on Thursday the 20th at Canyon Sports in Sandy (106th and State St.). You have to pick up your own packet unless you download the "2009 USA Cycling Event Release Form" and SIGN IT IN INK OR BLOOD and send the original to Canyon Sports with someone else to pick up your packet. You can also get the packet on Friday in Park City Before 8:00pm (see the 1000 Warriors page). But, YOU MUST PICK UP YOUR PACKET!!!
READ THE RACE BIBLE on the 1000 Warriors page to familiarize yourself with the course and the SAG/Feed Zones.

Number Four:
Mason may have connections for us to stay in Park City as a team on Friday - stay tuned for updates in the next two days or so.

Number Five:
Racers need to provide us with food and water bottles to stock your musette bags by Friday. Make a list of what stuff you want where, and we will do our best to get it to you at the right times during the race. Contact Dan or Mason.
Remember that it could be cold at 6:00am on Saturday and it may get nippy coming down AF Canyon so you may want to have sleeves, knees and/or a vest that you can drop off in the feed zone in Alpine or hand-up to the team car (if you are still in the lead group).

That is it for now! We need to get this stuff sorted by Thursday so that we can focus on the details for the race on Friday and Saturday.
Call Dan Mason or Dr. Creer if you can help us out in any way - especially at the SAG and feed zones and giving rides back to Park City!

heritage school gauntlet ride

2009-08-13T10:42:00.002-06:00

The Heritage School in Provo is hosting a ride of the Provo Canyon "Gauntlet" ride this Saturday, and we have been invited to attend as a team.
The ride will cost us $10.00 a piece, and starts in Provo at 8am.
The ride goes up the canyon, turns up Squaw Peak, goes to Vivian and South Fork and then up Sundance to the Alpine Summit. From there we have the option of heading down AF Canyon and up Suncrest, or turning around and going back to Provo.
I think that it will be a good "dry run" of the killer climb of the 1000 Warriors course, and a good training ride for those who are doing the 1000 Warriors race.
Let me know if there is interest in doing this ride so we can get signed up in the next few days.

polo shirts for team/club members

2009-07-31T00:00:00.003-06:00

Polo shirts are now available.
There are pictures in the blog below if you want to see what they look like.
The fabric is similar to Nike's Dry Fit fabric and the polo fits like their Golf line. For reference, Dan fits into a large size, and Mason is a medium.
These will only be available for a very short period of time and then you will have to wait until we re-order (I think somewhere around the middle or end of fall semester), so if you want one you need to get one now.
They cost $32.00, and you need to get your money to Dan by Friday the 7th of August.
If you would like to order one let me know what size you want, and get your money to me by calling me at (801)369-2462 or replying to this post.
Remember I need to know by the 7th and have payment in hand or you will have to wait until our next order.
RIDE ON.

By the way, hats are in the works and will be available for $16.00-20.00 in the next couple of weeks. (before 1000 warriors)

UVU Cycling Club Officers

2009-07-25T22:58:00.003-06:00

It is almost time to elect new officers for the 2009-2010 school year.

We need to elect at least three new officers:
A Vice President, a Secretary/Webmaster, and a Treasurer.

The Vice President needs to have at least 12 credit hours each semester this coming year, and should preferably be an underclassmen that can take over the presidency of the cycling team next year (and begin training the next VP to do the same in 2011). The VP will be the most involved and time consuming position of the three, and will have similar duties to the president of the club. These duties include continuing the progress of the cycling club at UVU by:
-Planning and hosting events, races and training.
-Communicating with USA Cycling and planning the Collegiate Racing seasons.
-Attending meetings with our Club Advisor and other club officers.
-Planning service projects and school special events such as club rush.
-Many other duties as specified by the president and club advisor.

The Secretary/Webmaster will be involved with the management of all communications within the club and team (e-mails, contact lists, etc) and the upkeep of the new Cycling Club and Team Webpage.
They will also be responsible for the marketing and advertising needs of the club and team. (This includes the distribution of printed material to club members and creating and posting race/event fliers).

The Treasurer of the Club will be responsible for the accounting of the club funds. They will be responsible for coordinating with the club advisor and school officials, vendors, sponsors, and others concerning funding for club and team events and equipment. They will oversee (under the direction of the president and club advisor) the ordering of club equipment, jerseys and other items and insuring their distribution to club and team members. They will also be responsible for collecting and recording money for the club produced through fund raising and other special events.

What we need to do at this time is create a ballot for voting at an upcoming team meeting. In order to do this we need nominations. What we would like to do is have everyone post their nominations for the three positions in this post over the next week. You can nominate yourself (in fact, we want to encourage this because it insures that you actually WANT to be an official) or you can nominate someone else. We need to take this seriously though! The future of the cycling club depends on it!
If you are nominated by someone else we will contact you before putting your name on the ballot to insure that you are willing to serve in the position you have been nominated for.

We are not voting for these positions now! We are just accepting nominations for the positions. Once someone has been nominated for a position we do not need to nominate them again - unless they are being nominated for a different position. We will compile a ballot and members of the club and team will vote anonymously in an upcoming team meeting.

Crank it to eleven!

Tour of Utah Volunteers

2009-07-22T22:53:00.003-06:00

The Tour of Utah is looking for some people to volunteer at a few of the stages and be "Race Experts". You would watch the race and be a well of information for anyone who had questions about cycling. If you would like to help out contact Terry Mcginnis via tourofutah.com. You will get a sweet T-shirt and a good view of the race. If you want to help out in another way let me know (Mike) and I'll tell you where to go, we really need some course marshals for the Nebo, and Snowbird stage again you will get some cool SWAG. Thanks

Team polo shirts, and vote for your favorite ball cap

2009-07-12T21:54:00.005-06:00

Here are some pictures of the new team polo shirts:

The front:

The back:

The two ball cap choices; vote for your favorite by entering a post below.

I have the samples for the ball caps and polo shirts now, and I need your help deciding what version of cap we like more. Vote for the one you like more either the "wolverine" or the "UV cycling team" versions. There is no rule stating we can't do both of them, but we would like to be able to sell one, and maybe keep one for team members only, I don't know yet. Both of these caps will retail for $19.95, and If we put another logo on the back they will be $24.95. We could also do a non-flexfit cap for around $15.95 to sell and keep the flexfit for team members. Let me know what you guys want, and which design you like more.

I will let you know when we can start ordering polo's and how much they will be in the next few days (as soon as I get pricing etc...).

2009 Tour de France Ride-Along

2009-07-03T00:09:00.004-06:00

Ever wonder if you could ride with the pros?

For the last few years I have been doing a Tour de France ride along. The idea is to ride a set percentage of the Tour mileage every day for the whole Tour. When the Tour does mountains, you do a mountain stage - when the Tour TT's, you TT, etc... Last year I did 1/3rd of the mileage of the Tour, the year before I did 1/2 the mileage.

These have been some of the most incredible days I have spent on the bike. After three weeks of riding "Tour stages" you really begin to feel a greater appreciation of what it means to be a pro cyclist. It makes watching the Tour a completely different experience as well - as if you were almost there.

While this is certainly not for everyone (some of you might think it a little goofy), I have a lot of fun with it, and it gives me really good fitness for the late summer and fall season (which includes the 1000 Warriors for some of us). So, I am inviting all who would like to give this a go - to do it!

The plan is simple -

1. Decide how much time you have to ride (make a bargain with the wife, ride to work or school, get up earlier or buy a bike light and go at night).
2. Based upon step one choose your mileage: 1/5th, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, or do the whole thing. I would choose whichever one you think you can do and then go up one step (you can always go back to the original plan if things go bad, but the challenge to get through is part of the fun).
3. Use the Tour stages to calculate your mileage (divide by 1.6 to get miles from KM), and ride terrain that mimics the stage (mountains, rolling, flats, TT).
4. Watch the Tour, and repeat the next day.

You rest on rest days - or if you are not riding on Sundays, shift your rest day to the closest Sunday. On days with a TT you can ride the TT in the morning and a stage in the evening to give yourself a day off on the following day (or a Sunday). Days that you are actually racing you count as your stage for the day etc... Basically set yourself some rules and follow them, but try to set them to be a challenge.

This can be a lot of fun, and a good way to get into form, or to push your fitness to the next level. Hopefully we get a few team guys doing it and we can do some stages together. Here is the tour stage list so you can formulate your plans!

We are thinking of doing a Saturday 9am ride on the 4th of July. The plan is either Emigration Canyon in SLC or Hobble Creek Canyon in Springville. We thought that Emigration Canyon might be fun because we had not done it with the team. But either way, we want to ride Saturday morning. Mason asked me to post this up here on the blog so that we can get a good idea of who can come and what ride people would prefer. So, when you see this post up a comment with your preference, and the majority will rule.
The Hobble Creek ride will be the same as before. We will meet at Campus in the parking lot at the top of the hill (across form the Computer Sci. Building where we were meeting for Saturday rides in the spring). The ride will go down Orem Main Street to 8th north Provo and then out to Utah Lake. We then turn East and back across Provo toward Springville. Ride up and down the canyon and return via the Provo foothills and 9th East to 8th south Orem and back to campus (I think this was 50-55 miles last time we rode it).
The Emigration Ride will meet just south of the SLC Hogle Zoo parking lot on Sunnyside Ave. and go up Emigration, down toward Parley's Canyon from the summit and then turn left on highway 65 and go up to the Big Mountain summit (about 5 more miles up highway 65).

Legs Aflame

Pain... as much fun as yesterday was, that is the only word that can encompass the whole event. Eric, Mason, and I (along with other members of the team that could not be present) are getting ready for the 1000 warriors ride in August which boasts of being the toughest stage of the toughest stage race in America. With 96 miles, 3 major climbs totaling close to 11,000 vertical feet... I think they have every right to claim it.

For our training ride we started at my home (Highland) and went up the Alpine Loop dropping down to Cascade Springs. After a near death on the decent (random guy cut me off sending me off into the bushes... totally pulling a lance, tour de france 03, stage 9) we made our way back out continuing on down, stopping at Sundance to get some agua. After that we toiled our way up Squaw Peak in what seemed oven-like temperatures. That would not be our last climb, we turned around and pushed our way back over the loop. It was roughly 80 miles and I feel it safe to say, well over 10,000 vertical in climbing. Some call it the "super gauntlet" (minus south fork) I just call it painful.

Eric dominated the road race this weekend. It was a 60 mile out'n'back course. Here is a clip of him telling about it.

1000 Warriors slots!!!!!

2009-06-12T10:36:00.004-06:00

I recently had lunch with Rick Bennett, who is the organizer of the 1000 warriors, I told him that we had a team and wanted to race the 1000 warriors, but didn't have the funds. He told me that he would welcome our team under his invitation (free of cost). He told me that "we could only do this if we race to win." I told him that we would have 4 or 5 racers working for our two best climbers and would do all we could to get them there.

If we think, we can competitively race, and compete to win the stage I can get us in. I just need to know by the end of next week.

UVU Crit Series Races June 4

2009-06-04T23:36:00.005-06:00

Here are some pictures from the crit this evening. As promised, there are some from the A&B race also!
There was a good turnout tonight, we had around thirty for the C&D race at 7:00. Thank you to all for coming out and racing. We had an incident-free race tonight with no crashes. Last week was a little rough on some of us. Mike went down, and Kris form Ski Utah split her chin in another. (Best wishes to Kris, and we hope to see her out again soon).
We had a number of teams with good numbers tonight including Canyon Bicycles, Evo Racing, Racer's Cycle Service, and UVU Cycling. Keep getting the word out to your friends, and other cyclists you meet.
Enjoy the pictures.

UVU Powerhouse Crit May 21st

2009-05-22T23:03:00.008-06:00

We had another great week out at the UVU Criterium Thursday night, and a great turnout for both races. There were 28 starters in the 7pm flite! A big thank you is in store for those of you who have come out to race and to volunteer. Keep telling your friends, and come have fun racing. Here are a few pictures from the 7pm flite (sorry to the guys who raced at six - I promise to get some pictures up for you guys within the next few weeks).

Evo Racing and Racer's Cycle Service both brought out good teams this week and Racer's took home the win from the A and B flite.

Evo Racing did a great job in the C and D flite and led a quick moving breakaway group nearly from start to finish. UVU's Andy Earl took advantage of the good work being done in the breakaway and sprinted for the win at the end. The C&D's averaged 23.5 mph this week - screaming!

Here are some pictures - enjoy!

The C&D flite gets rolling.

The large field takes the first of the racing laps.

Evo Racing pushes the pace in the early laps. Mason and Andy follow.

Dan and Mike pace the second group and watch as Mason and Andy mark the breakaway.

Thanks again for all who helped, and all who came out to race! See you guys next week!

Criterium blog is coming soon.

2009-05-20T21:51:00.002-06:00

Pat is setting up a blog page for the Crit Series at UVUcrit.blogspot.com. You will be able to check points standings and finish results as soon as it is up and running. Keep your ear to the ground for the official launch.
Keep letting people know of the UVU Criterium series so we can have increased turnouts each week. I think that we can have an excellent Criterium in Utah County, and we are well on our way! Just let your friends know, and keep coming out to race!
See you guys there tomorrow!
