Hello all, got some good news. The Iowa Games MTB race has been rescheduled for Saturday, October 7. As of right now I'm guessing that everything with regard to age groups and start times will be the same as the originally planned event. Race info can be found at the following link:
http://www.iowagames.org/SummerGames/MountainBiking.aspx
Additionally, this will also be an IMBCS points race to make up for the cancellation of the IMBCS race at Sugarbottom. IMBCS rules will apply. IMBCS points will be awarded based on the IMBCS category and age groups like every other IMBCS race.
Questions about the event can be directed to either myself or Pat Alvord (515)-418-0135 or patrickalvord@yahoo.com.

The Kanesville Krusher XC (hosted by BMD Racing) dished out some series competition on Saturday, with lightning fast downhills to steep out-of-the-saddle climbs. The Beginner event at 10am had near perfect to dusty conditions yielding a very fast course. At approximately 11:15am, however, the skies opened and light rain fell until 12:15, just after the start of the Sport/Expert event. With a vague forecast and questionable conditions on the horizon, the Sport/Expert event was shortened to 2 and 3 laps respectively.
The noon event started in muddy conditions, with riders slipping, crashing, and riding with both feet on the ground down the main chute to the bottom of the bluffs. Amazingly, no major injuries were reported, although plenty of riders came through after one lap with lots of mud on them. As time progressed, conditions became much better, with many riders proclaiming the final lap to be "perfect" conditions with no dust and tacky hardpack.
Cam Kirkpatrick (Rasmussen's) led the day, taking the top spot on the Expert open podium. Close behind Kirkpatrick was Kent McNeill (Highgear), followed by Sam Johnson (Sioux City Velo) with his best finish yet in his first year as an Expert. Coming in fourth place was Greg Shimonek (Highgear), and Jay Chesterman (Sioux City Velo) completed the Expert open podium in fifth.
The Lewis & Clark Kanesville Krusher was the 3rd event of the 2006 Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath Series, and the 2nd of 5 XC events. The 2006 Nebraska Lottery Psycowpath Series continues on June 10 with Ponca's Revenge Marathon, and then again on June 24 with the Swanson River City Shootout XC (rescheduled from April 29).
Editors note: This race was also the 4th event of the 2006 IMBCS presented by Kia of Des Moines of a ten race series. IMBCS #5 is scheduled for the weekend of June 17 / 18 at Sockum Ridge State Park, near Washington, IA (about 30 minutes south of Iowa City).Squirrel was first overall in singlespeed and I think he was also first overall in the sport class.Stay tuned for full results and report.

Unfortunately this week I have decided to cancel the 12 hour race. Assome of you know I have moved to Missouri which makes for organizingand directing a race 6 hours away difficult at best and the fact Iwould not be able to make it up to Iowa for race day. Please accept myapologies to those that have been training for this event, we did tryto come to a decision ASAP so you had time to make adjustments to yourplans.

Hello all,
IMBCS presented by Kia of Des Moines race #3 is coming up this Sunday, May 7 at Camp Ingawanis, near Waverly, IA. If you are not familiar with the course at Camp Ingawanis, it has some of the best mountain biking trails in the region. The course has a lot of everything, including technical singletrack, challenging climbs, fast descents and some very fast flat sections. Carl Buchanon, Jeff Kerkove and a few others have put a lot of work into the already existing trails to make the course even better than in years past.
Due to the heavy rains this season, the course will be confined to the north side of the creek. The course will consist of a lap that will be in the neighborhood of 6 – 7 miles. Parking and the race start area will be at the north end of the camp.
Take highway 3 east out of Waverly. Turn right (south) on 39th St. SE. Head south on 39th St. SE to Grand Ave. Continue south on Grand Ave until you get to the main gate, 2485 Grand Ave.
Racing will start at 8:30, with beginners going off first, followed by the scout class at 10. The Pro / Semi Pro / Expert class will start at 11, followed by sport at 11:05. There will be free food and water for all participants. Camping the night before the race is free to all participants. There might also be cabins available, for availability, contact Carl Buchanon at (319) 939-1795.
Registration opens at 7:30 for all classes. Entry fee is $25 per racer, cash or check only please. Expert class will payout cash for the top five finishers.
The race coordinator is Carl Buchanon and can be contacted at (319) 939-1795.
Hope to see everybody there!

I'd like to offer a huge thanks to everyone that came out to Seven Oaks for IMBCS #2. Troy Tellinghuesen and the folks at Singletrack Promotions did an outstanding job in successfully putting on the race. The weather was about as close to perfect as you're going to get, with sunny skies and temps in the mid 70’s. As usual, the course was in fantastic shape and also included 1.5 miles of new singletrack.
Brief results go a little something like this.
In the beginner race, Damon Wagner bested a field of 14 starters to finish 1 lap in a time of 52:53, followed closely by Matt Scotton in 53:29. Stephen Carney finished in 3rd in 54:02. On the women’s side Jennifer Taylor finished in first with a time of 1:08:29 followed by Marianne Schroeder in 1:59:09.
In the sport race Jeff Anchor was the top finisher in a field of 34 racers with a time of 1:25:18 over two laps. Des Moines resident John Conlan (Rasmussen Bike Shop) finished in second in 1:27:59. Andrew Carney came in third in 1:32:06, followed by Jubil Young in 1:32:40. Lonie Sauber rounded out the top five in 1:34:32. Jami Hartwig (Team Skin) won the sport women’s race with a time of 2:04:40.
In the expert race there were 21 starters. Cam Kirkpatrick (Rasmussen Bike Shop) won the three lap race in 1:52:40 followed by Brian Eppen (Mercy Specialized) at 1:53:28. Cully Todd (Cannondale MTB Racing Team) came in 3rd at 1:53:45, Jay Chesterman (Sioux City Velo) came in 4th at 1:59:09 and Andy Lueck rounded out the top five in
2:03:54. Kim Eppen (Mercy Specialized) won the expert women’s race in 1:38:52.

I'd like to offer a huge thanks to everyone that came out to Sylvan Island for IMBCS #1. Jim Ghys and the folks at QCFORC (http://www.qcforc.org/Home/tabid/444/Default.aspx) did an outstanding job in successfully putting on the race. The weather was about as close to perfect as you’re going to get, with sunny skies and temps in the lower 60’s. They also did a great job with the course, very technical, tight and twisty. The number of participants doubled from 75 last year to around 150 this year.
I have brief results from the sport and expert races and I only have the last names of some of the participants. In the sport race, Mezo finished in first out of a field of 64 starters in 1:16:53, followed closely by Todd Gillihan (Team Skin) in 1:17:25. Dominic Moranic finished in 3rd in 1:18:00, Cunningham came in 4th in 1:18:20 and Tracy Thompson (Atlas) rounded out the top five in 1:20:00.
In the women’s race, Enslow finished 1st out of a field of 7 starters, followed by Amanda Miller (Atlas) with Jami Hartwig (Team Skin) rounding out the top three.
In the expert race there were 22 starters. Iowa City pro Brian Eppen (Mercy Specialized) won the 9 nine lap race in 1:45:00 followed by Cam Kirkpatrick (Rasmussen Bike Shop) at 1:45:35. Cully Todd (Team Skin) came in 3rd at 1:47:04, Jay Chesterman (Sioux City Velo) came in 4th at 1:47:13 and Butch Welke rounded out the top five in 1:52:13.
Full results and IMBCS series points will be posted later this week so stay tuned.
