MOUNTAIN BIKERS VS ROADIES
Mountain Bikers vs Roadies -- June 9th, 2001 -- mileage varied


The race came off without a hitch and had good volunteer support, 
lots of prizes, and great weather.  Unfortunately, only 5 people 
showed up for this classic race.

The concept is easy: starting from the intersection of Old Murphy 
Dome Road and the Elliot Highway, roadies take off down the hill, 
turn onto the Steese, ride up to Cleary Summit and back.  Meanwhile, 
the mountain bikers go overland, following a trail that goes up to 
Pedro Dome, then follow the dirt road that goes to the same 
turn-around point at Cleary Summit.

The mountain bikers ride about 15 miles total, with 1400 feet of 
elevation gain, whereas the roadies bike about 24 miles, with 
1600 feet elevation gain.

This year, owing mostly to wet conditions and puddles, the roadies 
prevailed with a two minute lead over the mountain bikers.  

Following the event, there was much consumption of juice, sodas, 
and cookies...

Thanks to the great volunteers:
	Malcolm McEwen - (offroad) course marking
	Simon Rakower of All Weather Sports - prizes, wise counsel
	Bob Schlentner - turn around point and traffic control
	Paul Berry - Road course markers, race timing
	and...
	two other volunteers that I don't remember that assisted 
	with intersection traffic control.
