ALL WEATHER SPORTS STAGE RACE
     Stage Race -- May 25-28, 2001 -- 6 Stages

The 2001 Mountain Bike Stage Race was a success, pitting riders 
against each other and themselves.  This years events (in order): a 
hill climb, cross country, trials, predicted time, dirt criterium, 
and a cross country.  

To call the XC events "cross country" was something of a misnomer 
this year.  The first cross country featured a long uphill followed 
by rolling hills with 2 inches of mud, finishing with a rooty single 
track.  Senior men went on to complete a second lap, consisting of a 
long uphill grind on road, returning down the rooty single track.  At 
least one participant ended up upside down in a stream, still 
clipped into his pedals...

The second cross country event favored full suspension, with a bumpy 
trail from hell.  Most riders eventually had to get off the bike at 
some point, just to remember what sitting still felt like.  At the 
end of the long uphill grind over the stumpy single track, riders 
were treated to a few miles of rolling hills, finishing with a steep 
downhill drop through a creek to the finish line.  

The predicted time event was a easy ride, but proved to be hard to 
get right.  After riding a short course, participants then estimated 
how long it would take to ride three laps, and attempted to ride the 
three laps in exactly that amount of time, without the benefit of a 
cycle computer.  The difference between the the actual time and 
estimated time was added on to the participants score.

The trials event and dirt criterium were fun events.  The criterium 
was a short, fast course, designed to keep riders on their toes.  

All stages were well thought out and challenging, and great fun.
