Stage 4 Report

Nipika-Whiteswan Lake
115km/1342m climbing

After a two-day stopover at Nipika Mountain Resort, the 283 teams remaining in the 2007 TransRockies Challenge set out on Stage 4 for the mountain campground of Whiteswan Lake, the last and most remote wilderness day of the race. With a route which was longer and more physically punishing than technically difficult, there was a feeling that some new faces might get to show their faces at the front on this 115km odyssey which crossed two major passes, finishing with a leg-sapping rolling 38km drag along the White River Forestry road.

The heat has been building for the last few days, and day 4 was easily the hottest and dustiest yet. The medical team were kept busy at the end of the stage dealing with exhausted and dehydrated riders, most of whom averaged 6 ½ hours in temperatures which ranged up to 90 degrees, compounded by the dust, low humidity and a average elevation of roughly 1400 metres above sea level.

A couple of long forestry road sections made it difficult for riders to escape early as they would inevitably be pulled back by larger groups working together and catching them from behind. Instead, the day became a war of attrition as the strongest kept up the pressure and waited for their competitors to wilt in the conditions.

In the Open Men’s Category, the Costa Rican duo of Ivan Amador and Federico Ramirez clearly felt at home in the heat and were able to resist all the attacks from Team United Cycles throughout the day and managed to come around the Overall Leaders for their first stage win of the event and the first stage to be won by a team other than Heemskerk and Lega of United.

On the women’s side of things, Sue Haywood and Hillary Harrison took back the leaders’ jerseys after losing them the day before. Their finishing time of 5:38:59 was good for a six-minute lead on the day and a two-minute lead in the overall standings.

Recovering on mountain-ringed fields at Whiteswan Lake, riders in every class spent the afternoon looking for shade and trying to stay cool in the midday sun. Many riders went so far as to drag their tents from the regular compound into the groves of trees while the glacial creek next to the campground and the Whiteswan Lake beach were popular destinations.

With three tough days of racing and no sign of letup in the heat, the overall lead in several categories remains up for grabs, most teams remain focussed on the goal of simply finishing this epic challenge. Upon arriving in Elkford, riders will no doubt be quickly reaching for their phones to check in with friends and loved ones after three cell phone-free days in the wilderness .

Day 2 Report

Invermere to Nipika Mountain Resort
60km/1302m climbing

After a late-afternoon windstorm which blew through Invermere on Sunday, flipping tents and wreaking havoc in the rider village, conditions settled down for the evening and riders were treated to perfect cool mountain night to rest up for the second day of the TransRockies Challenge.

Leaving Invermere in a rolling closure provided by the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police, riders were launched into race mode after the first 3 neutralized km and the attacks came fast and furious as the top teams tested each other to see who had recovered after the first day’s effort. Riders rode uphill for the next 20km climbing to the top of Bear Creek, first via logging road, then on some steep and technical jeep trails. The majority of the last 40km was raced on singletrack, varying from raw and precarious trails down from Bear Creek into the Kootenay River Valley, finishing on the buffed and perfect trails of Nipika Mountain Resort.

Day 1’s winners Roddi Legga and Tim Heemskerk or United Cycles looked to do some more damage to their rivals and launched an early attack which again shed all but the top group of teams. As they ground to the top, they managed to escape from the rest of the field and kept the pressure on, surviving a late race scare when Legga had a slow leak which wouldn’t reseal. He ended up riding the last 5 km on a flat until they crossed the finish in 3:08:46 ahead of second place by 5 ½ minutes. Their overall lead in GC is roughly 10 minutes and they’re starting to establish the type of gap necessary to carry through the inevitable mechanicals which they had today and which are always a part of the TransRockies epic.

Behind them Team Rocky Mountain EA Sports and Team La Ruta were waging a UFC style battle for second. While Team La Ruta established a lead over the climb, the two Matts—Green and Hadley—of Team Rocky Mountain EA Sports used their superior downhill skills to catch them by the bottom of the Bear Creek descent. After Green broke his chain, the battle seemed to be over but La Ruta took a wrong turn and went off course for roughly five minutes allowing Green and Hadley to grab second place on the day in 3:14:16, the Ticos crossed the line in 3:17:50 and are now just over 3 minutes adrift of second place on GC.

The most competitive racing so far has been in the Open Women’s category with the top three teams coming in less than two minutes apart during stage 1 and battling closely again in stage 2. By the end, though Sue Haywood and Hillary Harrison of Team Giant/Trek Bicycles applied the pressure as Harrison began to felt better and they surged to a three minute gap by the time they crossed the line in 4:11:03. Behind them the Team Canwi Girls (Jenny Hillman/Jo Turnbull) stayed close and the British duo of Fi Spotswood and Meggie Bichard came in shortly after to keep the three-way battle alive.

One category which shows no sign of being competitive is the Open Mixed category in which the pair of Wendy Simms , one of Canada’s premiere women’s mountain bikers and her partner Norm Thibault, both based in beautiful Nanaimo, British Columbia, have put on a clinic with consecutive crushing wins and now lead the GC by over 32 minutes. .

As the sun set in idyllic Nipika Mountain Resort, all the riders bar a couple of injuries are through the first day nerves and settling into the eat, rest and ride rhythm of a stage race. With no cellphone coverage and very limited access to the outside world for the majority of the route, the hundreds of motivated type-A personalities who choose to take on this type of event are relearning how to just kick back and conserve energy for the next day’s riding, which in this case covers as many KM as the first two days combined . . .

Stage 1 Report

Panorama to Invermere: 33km/1302m climbing

on-the-aptly-named-canyon-trail.jpg
The first stage of the TransRockies Challenge has traditionally been a shorter prologue stage to allow riders to work their way into the race before the route takes them deep into the wilderness of the Kootenay Rockies. Starting from Panorama for the first time in event history, the riders faced a short 33km course which opened up with a 1.6km start loop through the village past the crowds of friends, family and well-wishers before rolling straight into a gruelling 1200 vertical metre climb including a significant hike-a-bike to the summit of Taynton Pass.

The potential bottlenecks made a ripping fast start a tactical must for teams with podium ambitions. Last year’s second-place finisher Tim Heemskerk of United Cycles has teamed up with longtime National Team member Roddi Lega with the single goal of taking the top podium spot this year. They went to the front early sending a message to all the other teams with a furious pace up the first climb.

Many teams were shed in the process including the defending champion Andreas Hestler and his partner Kevin Calhoun (Rocky Mountain Haywood) who had to back off the early pace when Calhoun found that his legs hadn’t bounced back from the efforts made in a podium finish the BC Bike Race stage race earlier this summer.

The toll of doing multiple mountain bike stage events in one season was a theme of the day: on the women’s side, pre-race favourites Marg Fedyna and Nikki Kassell (Team Raven), didn’t even make it to the start line when Fedyna fell ill after a TransAlp Challenge ride which saw them win five out of eight stages. Ironically, the women’s team which filled the gap was an ad-hoc assembly of former La Ruta des los Conquistadores champion Hillary Harrison (Giant Bicycles) and Sue Haywood of Trek who stepped in as a late replacement for Harrison’s original partner who broke his clavicle in training.

On the men’s side, Matt Green of Rocky Mountain EASports who finished fourth last year was forced to find a new partner at the last minute as Stefan Widmer, his partner from last year fractured his fibula in a crash at mountain bike nationals . . . not an gentle sport, this mountain biking.

Luckily for Green, fellow Rocky Mountain young gun Matt Hadley was ready to step in and they charged to a third place finish today just twenty seconds behind Ivan Amador and Federico Ramirez of Team La Ruta des los Conquistadores. Team United Cycles kept the hammer down all day to finish in a blazing time of 2:12:52, nearly four minutes ahead of the Costa Ricans.

The women had the closest finish of the day with Haywood and Harrison finishing only 20 seconds ahead of Team Canwi Girls, Jenny Hillman and Jo Turnbull with the British duo of Fi Spotswood and Meggie Bichard (Team Minx/Extreme Endurance) only another minute behind. In the mixed category, Wendy Simms (Team Kona) and her partner Normon Thibeault (Frontrunners) send a loud message to the rest of the field with a dominant 25 minute win in stage 1. Their finishing time of 2:27:34 was actually good enough for 10th overall.

day-1-awards-001.jpgAfter a short warmup stage on Day 1, the TransRockies kicks off in earnest on Day 2 with a
60km stage which takes the riders from Invermere to beautiful Nipika Mountain Resort deep in the Rockies. With 30km of trail including some very raw sections with debris fields and tight trees and roots, Stage 2 will be a classic TransRockies smorgasbord of singletrack, suffering and scenery.
