Intermountain Cup Season in Utah

Summer has come and is now almost gone. With it's passing we also come to the end of another Intermountain Cup race season. This series of races, put on by Ed Chauner and his team, is the highlight and focus of our season. The races are well organized and range from the desert to the high mountains, fast and rolling to technical and steep. The variety of courses and locations keeps things interesting and makes for a challenging race season.

However now it has come to an end and it's time to focus on other events that require endurance, determination and sometimes lights!

While the team finished 2nd overall, many of the individual riders from our group made the podium for their categories for the season. KC Holley finished 1st in Pro Women showing her dedication to the series and overall consistency. Chris Holley finished 3rd in Pro Men despite a less than stellar year by his own admission. Kevin Moffitt moved to Expert Men 40+ this year and dominated the category finishing first. Joseph Moffitt also finished in the top 3 of his category despite moving to Pro near the end of the season.
Other notable series finishes:
Greg Johnson: 3rd in Clydesdale
Kendra Clark: 3rd in Sport Women
Jen Hodnett: 3rd in Spt Women (she moved to expert during the season)
Bruce Lyman: 1st in 50+ Men
Brad Mullen: 1st in 57+ Men
Bill Dark: 3rd in 57+ Men
Keith Payne: 3rd in 40+ Spt Men
Phil Benson: 4th in Single Speed
Adam Lisonbee: 7th in Expert Men 30-39
Wendy Cope: 4th in 35+ Wmn
Dorothy Gibson: 5th in 35+ Wmn

Overall it was a great season, mainly due to well-organized races and a great team. Thanks to all our team riders who rode with us this year. Still more to happen this year but I'm already looking forward to 2011.
