Gould/Scanlan
& Marcum Win 10th Annual Lava Rama
September 18-19, 2004, Lava Hot Springs, ID,
Boise’s Jon Gould did it again, winning the event overall and topping the pro
class…and he’s over 40! Boise’s Stacey
Scanlan continued her winning ways topping the pro women’s class in the cross
country portion of the 10th annual Lava Rama mountain bike race,
held in the beautiful little Eastern Idaho town of Lava Hot Springs. Boise’s Carl Marcum won a wild downhill
event on Sunday.
The race was the seventh and final round of
the 2004 Motion Potion Wild Rockies Mountain Series, sponsored by Idaho
Chiropractic, the Running Bandanna, the Boise Weekly, K2, Fly Racing, Dirt
Dart, Brian's Pro Bike Service, and Hippie Tech Suspension, as well as local
bike shops Kirk’s Kruisers and Instant Replay.
2004 Wild Rockies Series awards were also given out to the various class
winners in cross country and downhill.
Most cross-country riders like Lava
Rama. It starts and finishes right in
town in the park and feature some rolling roads and cool singletrack. Saturday’s cross country featured perfect
temperatures but horrendous winds, sometimes gusting up to 30mph. A total of 125 participants enjoyed the
weekend and interesting weather.
Cross-country beginners covered two, 5.4-mile laps and sports, experts and pros rode two longer laps.
Classes
were also offered for trail runners and walkers who covered a 5.4-mile trail course,
(one lap on the mountain bike route).
The men’s pro field was small, but featured
several tough guys. Boise’s Jon Gould
and Darren Lightfield for most of 21 miles before Gould finally pulled away to
win by 50 seconds. The women’s pro field was topped by Boise’s Stacey Scanlan. The fastest sport racers were Twin Falls rider
Shawn Bravender and Salt Lake’s Heather Holmes, and the fastest beginner was
Paul Pazdan from Boise. Idaho Falls athlete,
Glenn Clemons (who also happens to be over 40) edged out Pocatello’s Cody
Schroder in both the 5.5-mile trail run and the duathlon.
The Devil’s Staircase Downhill is undoubtedly
Idaho’s toughest, with 1,200 feet of vertical descent in only ¾ of a mile, but
several local riders, led by Doug Frei, added some new rolling sections to make
it even better. The fact that it
finishes on Main Street right in town is kind of cool too. The weather was supposed to be horrible on
Sunday, but good weather tried to hang on.
As practice continued through the morning however, the clouds kept
building and got darker and darker. At
exactly high noon, a storm from hell cut loose, just as the first rider left
the starting line. This was no ordinary
storm, nope this was the real deal with wind, sleet and pouring rain. The course turned to mush within
minutes. Conditions were so bad that
Idaho’s Carl Marcum, the winning pro, won with a time of 7:24, nearly 3 ½
minutes slower than last year. The
times got slower from there as many riders had to PUSH their bikes down the
hill, even on the steepest parts.
Naturally, as soon as the last rider finished, the skies cleared, the
wind stopped and the temperature warmed up 20 degrees….click.
The 2005 Wild Rockies Mountain Series will
begin next April, with the 10th annual Barking Spider Bash, held at
stunning Lava Hot Springs in Eastern Idaho on September 18-19. Each Wild Rockies event focuses on fun, and
51 different divisions are offered for all ages and abilities of cross-country
and downhill mountain bikers, trail runners, walkers and duathletes. For more
