Chris Wallace World Championship Travel Fun!

Congratulations to KCCX/VERGE rider Chris Wallace for being selected as a member of the 2009 Junior World Championships Team in Hoogerheide, Holland. After a successful inaugural Euro-Cross Camp, Chris will head back to Europe on January 23rd to prepare for Worlds. This is very prestigious honor for any rider. Many work their entire life to make the Worlds team and never accomplish their goal. Chris is fortunate enough to have reached this goal at a very young age. In an effort to help with the travel expenses we ask the cycling community to pitch in to help a local rider make a dream come true.

Donations can be made online

Or join us on Tuesday, January 20th at the Trek Store of Kansas City. The festivities will begin at 7:00 P.M. and end at 9:00 P.M. We will have some tasty Famous Dave's BBQ and Boulevard Beer. All proceeds will go directly to the travel fund. We hope to see you at the Trek Store of Kansas City.

The Chase for Start Position

Toronto International Cyclocross Race (UCI-1)

In the third month of my quest for UCI points, I boarded a plane to Buffalo with a final destination of Toronto to be accomplished by car. Why fly to Buffalo and then drive two hours to Toronto? The green back, my friends. One way trip to Buffalo: $88. One way trip to Toronto $325. The auto trip rout also included a lovely stop at Niagra Falls which I had never seen.

I arrived just before sunset on Friday, November 7, 2008; quickly put the bike together and rode over to the course which was about 4 miles from the hotel. It was cold, below 45 and windy and cloudy. Thankfully, the course was set up.

The course set up for the next day, Saturday, was excellent and suited my riding style: A long flat section in the beginning, followed by a steep up hill which u-turned to a quick descent with a hard left at the bottom. The neatest part of the course was a bowl of technical ups, downs, and off-camber turns that reminded me of the Nationals course in 2005 and 2006 in Providence, RI. I practiced the more technical parts of the course several times and then headed back to the hotel to set up for the next day.

Saturday arrived as a cold, extremely windy day typical of late fall cross racing. I lined up in the first row based on current UCI standings which is always an advantage. I got a good start just behind Natasha Elliott who is having a phenomenal year. As we went through the barriers, I lost a few spots and a few more as we headed into the wicked head wind. There’s not much drafting in cross! I settled into about 12th place and, then, started picking off riders in the more technical spots, like the wheel-eating mud ditch that only three of uscleared each lap. Ultimately, I rode into 8th place and secured the ever treasured UCI points.

The TREK bike handled great on the technical aspects of the course and TREK’s light frame was much appreciated up the steep, short, power climbs. I rode SRAM Red, as I always do, and it shifted perfectly through some very thick, wet mud. I’m always amazed how well that stuff works in the worst of conditions. The top three riders that day were Natasha Elliott of Canada; Dawn Anderson of Canada, and Kristin Wentworth of the U.S.

Day Two of the Toronto International Cyclocross Race arrived in similar fashion with considerable wind, cold, and clouds; but, also lurking was a new course. Unfortunately, a significant part of the course was up a ski hill that resembled a mountain bike race because of the steepness. The steep up-hill course was lengthy and made more difficult by extreme mud created by a hard, long rain the afternoon before. (The deluge on Saturday occurred at the start of the Elite Men’s race and turned their course into an almost unmanageable icerink on which few excelled.)

As I talked to my fellow racers, we all agreed that those with micro-drive gearing that included a 34 front chain ring were going to be the ringers of the day. While I normally would have loved Sunday’s course with it’s climbs and multiple twists and turns, it proved almost impossible with my gearing in terms of competitiveness. I slogged through to finish 12th. I wasn’t nearly has giddy as I had been the day before. But, that is the joy (and pang) of racing that definitely has kept me on point this week as I waited not so patiently for this weekend’s racing. The top three riders on Sunday were: Natasha Elliott, Kristin Wentworth, and Rebecca Wellons.

Meet Dave Chapman

Meet Dave; cycling enthusiast, all around nice guy and easy to talk to. I always enjoy our chats when he comes in the store and recently he shared a little about himself and his bike rides.

Dave's first bike was a red Schwinn, which he got in kindergarten (in the 60's), and he's been riding ever since... not that one of course. While living in Boulder, Colorado his love of cycling grew while watching the Coors Classic with some of the great racers like Davis Phinney, Rebecca Twigg, Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault. His dream now of a 5.5 Madone will have to wait just a bit longer for his girls to get through college. Being a real family guy, his wife and the kids come first...that's the way he wants it. In his college days he reminisced of several years, riding 23 miles to class each day to save cash (don't all parents have a story like that?). Now he rides for pleasure, health and the all important stress reduction factor. He says it makes him feel young. I think we can all relate.

Dave's love of riding includes going fast. He used to be a downhill & super-g alpine skier...I'm impressed! Then came a back injury and surgery. His current ride, a 22 year-old Bianchi Specialissima steel road bike is a classic that he appreciates but would like to replace with, hmm...something in maybe, carbon? He recently did a Lawrence ride with a bunch of guys on REALLY nice bikes, most of them 10-15 years his junior. Dave usually averages around 16-18 miles/hr. with his daily rides around 30 miles. These guys averaged 25 miles/hr. and the ride they took him on was 65 miles. He says one of them let him suck his rear wheel most of the way...I should say! We ain't no spring chickens here! Good work Dave!!!

One more thing I got from Dave that I liked was how he feels about encouraging others. Basically the same way he encouraged the kids he coached in archery years ago. Do it if it feels good, pursue what you love. Good advice that works for just about everything. Thanks Dave!

Never too late....

Here is the recap from my first day at the Tour of Missouri. I had the opportunity to ride the Kelly Benefits Team car for Stage 1. It was an amazing experience to witness this level of race from this vantage point. Listening to Jonas Carney and Kent Mills as the gave out instructions to the team. Ken was a mad man behind the wheel getting through the field as Johnny Sundt bridged up to the brake. Imagine the Dukes of Hazard, but in a VW Passat wagon. Once we made it through the field we were moving at about 60-70 mph to catch the break away. I don't think Ken was aware of the rollers in Missouri. As we hit the top of the first one he had to slam on the brakes in order to keep the car on the ground. Yee Ha!!!


I need to talk to the owners about getting this type of support before I race.

We are starting to make our way through the field to get to Johnny Sundt and the break away.

Say cheese Ivan!


Here the main field is with Garmin/Chipolte (George Hincapie leading the way) at the front driving the pace to catch the break away.

After that I never had a chance to really get more pictures. Well, except for our friend here with his co-pilot.

What an amazing event to have in our backyard and to have the hometown team of Garmin-Chipolte take the victory. Christian Vandevelde has the best season of this career and topped it off here winning the Tour of Missouri.

####CLOSED MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8TH####

The Trek Store will be close Monday September 8th for the Tour of Missouri. Come down and join the festivities.
