Arizona Senior Olympics Wrap-Up


Thanks to the crack WMRC Volunteer Team of Bill and Ann Peschka, Ric and Sue Surber, Dave Lehnen, Robin Roberts, Mike Parrish, Eddie McKee, Sid Ogino, Bill and Cheryl Heob, Chuck Higgins, Brother Christophe and Brother-in-Law Kit, WMRC once again showed their volunteer spirit over the weekend as they presented the Arizona Bicycle Senior Olympics.
 
The Senior Olympians really appreciate the opportunity to compete and WMRC was a part of that opportunity.

The Senior Olympians race just as hard as the USCF crowd and tend to be a bit more appreciative!!!

The only hiccup was the chip timer slept in on Sunday and showed up 20 minutes late!!

Ann Peschka and her five-star registration team made up ground, Robin Roberts got the print-outs he needed and we finished ahead of schedule!!

If you were not able to volunteer this year, I encourage you to give it some thought next year.

We once again showed why WMRC is the best!!!
 
Cheers!!

Thomas Jondall


Hello, 

My name is Thomas Jondall, I’m 18 years old and I race for Landis/Trek White Mountain Road Club. I’ve recently been selected to race in Europe with the US Junior National Team. The team will be racing some Kermesses in Belgium and then go to Italy for the Giro della Lunigiana UCI 2.1 and Giro di Basilicata UCI 2.1. It has been an exciting year for me and I’m looking forward to this new challenge.
 
After a lot of racing in AZ this spring I took part in the USA Cycling Regional Camp in Flagstaff AZ.  I had a very good camp and in the end I was the #1 rider. Because of this result and a 3rd place at the U.S Junior National Time Trial Championship, I was selected to race with the U.S National team in the six-stage Tour de l’Abitibi in Canada. There I was able to help my teammate pick up the best young rider and sprint jerseys. Along with helping him I was the highest-placed rider for the US team in the overall classification in 6th place. Based on my teamwork and result at the Tour de l’Abitibi was invited on this European project.
 

This project will cost around $2.000 including airfare and incidentals. WMRC has helped me set up a PayPal account for donations at

WMRC will also cover the PayPal fees to enable the full donation to go to me.
 
Thank you very much and I appreciate any support.
 
Sincerely,
 
Thomas Jondall

Thank you for supporting America’s developing cyclists!

 

WMRC Sponsors and Friends,

 
My apologies for the lack of communication these past few weeks WIFI has been scarce.  I did my first race the second day i got to Belgium in Kemmel where i flatted out about half way into the race, i finished the second one and got 11th in the last one. The style of racing in Belgium is fast and punchy, they take the corners really slow and accelerate fast out of them. Then we drove down to Italy and did our first stage race where i ended up like 109th overall, I started the race with a cold so i was in survival mode from day one. That particular stage race was about the same speed as a pro NRC in the states just a little bit shorter. Since then we drove to Lucca to stay at the SRM house we leave again tomorrow for the next stage race Giro di basilicata. I will keep you all posted on how i end up.
 
Thanks,
 
Thomas Jondall

Scottsdale Cycling Festival – Criterium 10/2/2010

A group of people riding bicycles.


Scottsdale Cycling Festival - Criterium 10/2/2010The idea to add a day of criterium racing to the north Scottsdale cycling scene came from Brian Lemke, a Cave Creek resident who rides with the Landis Cyclery-Trek team. Lemke saw a gap between the Tour de Scottsdale’s Thursday night party and Sunday ride and came to organizers with his plan.

 

The criterium will be held on Saturday, October 2nd.

More than two thousand cyclists from around the Valley and around the nation are expected at the Scottsdale Cycling Festival this fall. For the first time, the popular 7th Annual 70-mile Tour de Scottsdale citizen’s race that benefits the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy will be paired with a Criterium, adding an exciting competitive element for cyclists and spectators alike.

Register online at RacePlaceEvents.com. Online registration closes on Wednesday Sept. 29 at 11:59 p.m. (PST). Citizen cyclists must obtain one-day, $10 license.  Late Registration is available at 7 a.m. on Saturday at the Expo; a $10 Late Fee applies to all entries received on or after Oct. 1.

 

 

http://www.azbrevet.com/ Dave Lehnen enjoys these rides and is a veteran at doing them. Contact him for 1st hand info.

ADOT Bicycle Safety Action Plan: Public Input Survey Available


The Arizona Department of Transportation is developing a Bicycle Safety Action Plan to reduce the number of bicycle-related crashes, injuries, and fatalities on state highways.

One of the most important steps toward creating the Bicycle Safety Action Plan is to document the perspectives, concerns, and input, as it relates to bicycle safety, of residents from throughout the State of Arizona.

All residents of Arizona are invited to participate and complete a Public Input Survey for bicycle safety.  The results of the survey will serve as input to identifying important bicycle safety issues and will help to establish goals and objectives for the Bicycle Safety Action Plan.

A link to the survey can be found on the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Program website (http://www.azbikeped.org/).  The results of the on-line survey are collected automatically so respondents do not have to email or print the completed survey.

For assistance completing the survey or for more information on the Bicycle Safety Action Plan, please contact:

2010 Tortilla Flats Road Race Series

2010 Tortilla Flats Road Race Series 2010 Tortilla Flats Road Race Series

THE COURSE: A 39-mile total out and back course with 11 miles of really difficult climbing. There are lots of rollers and steep winding descents, very few flat areas, and most important, very few cars (usually less than 10 total). There is beautiful, smooth pavement, and gorgeous scenery. Vertical gain is 3500’.

2010 Tortilla Flats Road Race Series

THE RULES: All USCF rules apply. There is only one intersection at a distance of ¾ mile from the start. The groups will roll neutral to the intersection at highway 88 and turn right. The race can then go its own pace until it reaches the first one-way bridge. Entering the bridge with cars coming the opposite way is an automatic disqualification from the race. The same rules apply when you cross the next bridge before the climb to Tortilla Flats. Turn around at the “end of pavement” sign, just past the mile marker 220. If you are dropped long before the turn around, you can turn and jump in with the group as they pass you on the descent. If you choose this method you are ineligible to contest or help in the sprint. When you start the 5-mile descent there are 2 steep 90-degree left turns where you must use your brakes, or you will go over the side of the mountain into the cholla. When the groups finish they must yield to cars before turning left onto Nodak Rd. at mile 200. There is still a ¾ mile uphill to the finish line so there is no reason to attack into the left turn. Any time after the turn onto Nodak is okay. Finish line is at the Mining Camp Restaurant.

THE DIRECTIONS: Highway US 60 east or Brown Road east to Highway 88 east. Follow the highway toward Canyon Lake, but turn right on Nodak just before mile 200. Follow signs to the Mining Camp Restaurant at the base of the Superstition Mountain. Don’t park in front of the big tree. It is reserved for registration. Please click here to view a detailed map for parking, registration, etc

THE PRIZES: $5 of each entry goes to the weekly cash prize for the top 3 places of each race. Cash will be paid 5 deep with 15 or more per field. Points series for each category: 5 for 1st, 1 for 5th. $ awards to top three in each series. “A” series: $50, $25, $15. “B” series: $30, $20, $10. Scoring will be based on 9 best results. Tie breaker to be total # of 1st places, then 2nd places, etc.

THE DETAILS: $10 entry for all riders per week, or $95 for the whole series of 11 races. If field size warrants, A and B races will start separately. The whole race will take about 2 hours. Bring 3 water bottles and spare inner tube, patch kit and pump. There is no follow vehicle, unless you supply one. USCF license required, 1-day license available to new racers. Helmets required. No aero-bars. Jersey must have sleeves. Keep your race number and pins for each week that you race of the series.

We are guests in the neighborhood. Please respect residents by assuring you are not blocking residential traffic (stay to the side of the road when warming up and staging). Do not congregate in such a way to impede any motor vehicles. Thank you for your consideration. We have been running this event for 10 years and do not want to give anyone any reason to complain and then have to shut it down. Please remember to leave the neighborhood in the same condition as before you arrived. 

QUESTIONS:  Call Dave Reid (480)-497-8832 evenings until 8pm or email tortilla@wmrc.org.  See you there.
