Big Wheel Racing

The Escalante Days XC race on August 14 had a great BWR showing with a field of 92 racers. Four BWR team members showed up for the Escalante Days XC race: Steve Reiter, Jeni Turgeon, Rebecca Barfoot, and Jeff Hemperley. Steve, Jeni, and Jeff raced in the expert single speed class with great results against some stiff competition. Rebecca raced in the geared expert class with some fierce competition as well!

The course is 35 miles in distance covering the majority of the Boggy Draw Trails System. Elevation gain was 2,340 feet per Jeff’s computer. Jeni was uncontested for the women’s single speed title and completed the 35 mile loop just over 3 hours. Steve took 3rd overall single speeder and 2nd in the 35-44 age group. Jeff was 2nd overall single speeder (58 seconds behind 1st) and 1st in age group 35-44 with a time of 2:07:58 with Steve just about 2 minutes behind him. Rebecca came in 3rd in her age group.

Great job BWR!!! Thanks, Jeff, for the photo (Jeff and Steve at the end of the race with some friends).
