Twenty-two Stars-and-Stripes jerseys were earned on Saturday as the 2014 USA Cycling Marathon Mountain Bike National Championships brought an action-packed end to the Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival in Idaho.
Riders left the start line in morning and afternoon waves with temperatures being near perfect for the morning races and beautiful, but hot, in the afternoon.
Elite men and women
Todd Wells (Specialized Factory Racing) made it three in a row in Sun Valley, finishing six minutes ahead of silver and bronze medalists Stephen Ettinger (BMC Mountain Bike Racing Team) and Howard Grotts (Fort Lewis College/Specialized) in the elite men's event. The win was the third straight Marathon Mountain Bike national title for Wells.
Rose Grant (Sportsman & Ski Haus) rode her way into the Stars-and-Stripes jersey in the elite women's race, finishing 14 minutes faster than silver and bronze medalists Joey Lythgoe and Nina Baum.
Singlespeeders
The men's singlespeed competition was very fast-paced with Cary Smith posting a scorching time of 3:11:21 to slip into the Stars-and-Stripes jersey ahead of Tom Flynn (Pro Leisure) and Aj Linnell.
The only woman to enter the singlespeed contest, Tina Brubaker completed her event with a time of 4:49:09 to take the national title in Sun Valley.
