Red Rock Rampage
Green Valley Race Loop, St. George. March 1, 2014
The weather forecast said heavy
rain. Yes, there was an overnight storm, but the morning sun rapidly dried
the mud. The race went on schedule and the riding was superb. The first
wave went at 10 a.m. for Beginner categories, kids, and Women 40-plus.
Temperatures were into the upper 50s by the second race for Sport and
Expert classes. It was a great day of racing. UMB's only first-place
finish was Dallin Hatch, with Sally Reynders taking our only 2nd.

Cactus Hugger
Green Valley, St. George. April 5, 2014
For the second race of the 2014
ICup season, storm clouds surrounded the race course yet things remained
dry for the riders. Sunshine peeked through the clouds for most of the
race. A few gusts of wind and a couple of raindrops hit during the awards
but overall it was a perfect day. The Cactus Hugger course served up
plenty of rough rock on the technical south side of the loop. Overall the
tough course knocked about 10% of our riders to trailside with flats and
mechanicals. Dallin Hatch and Phil Blair took 1st place wins, with
second-place finishes by Draeden Jensen, Steven Bonney, and Sally Reynders.

Rumble at 18 Road
Fruita, Colorado. April 19, 2014
Our riders will remember
this race for a long time. It may take electroshock therapy to ease the
memories. For racers who were staged later in the first wave, this ride
was a mud-slog extraordinaire.

Showdown at Five Mile Pass
Five Mile Pass, west of Lehi. April 26, 2014 rescheduled to May 3,
2014
The scheduled date for the Five Mile Pass race was rained
out, so the race was put off a week. For those who weren't totally hosed
by the date change (pause for gnashing of teeth by your UMB website
editor), Saturday offered great weather for the rocky rollers of the Pass.
The UtahMountainBiking team missed many of our usual stalwarts, who had
committed to other activities.

Lambert Park
Alpine. May 10, 2014
The morning dawned cool, with ominous
low clouds over Lone Peak. The trails were damp and slimy from the rain.
Hazy sunshine broke through, and the trails became just the right type of
grip-damp for a terrific race. UMB has first-place finishes by Hunter
Ransom, Kellye Potter, Richard Ewell, Mitt Stewart, Rick Morris, and
Meghan Sheridan, with second-places by Sally Reynders, Geno Smith, Tim
Wagstaff, Katy Nafus, Jason Cowley, and Bentley Vanderwel.
