Show ---. - I 3. Park Record Thursday, July 7, 1988 Page B7 Juniors showcased in Utah Cycling Fest by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer The sprockets they will be a-crankin'. Yes, once again it is time for the Utah Cycling Festival. This year's festival will run from July 13 through 17, and will showcase the Junior racing class. As last year, the featured event of the festival will be the ReebokWasatch Mountain Stage Race, a five stage race run July 13 through 17. Whereas last year the Veterans class was highlighted, this year it is the Juniors, in two brackets, ages 14 and 15, and ages 16 and 17. The stage race is a National Prestige Race, meaning it boasts of at least $3,000 in prize money, as well as national points. The race will be run under General Classification rules, which basically means that time will accumulate through each of the five stages of the race. Beyond the individual honors to be earned by the Juniors, there will also be a team time trial for Juniors on the final day of the festival. In that race, to be held on Old Ranch Road in the Snyderville area, teams will compete over the 60 kilometer course. According to Tom Noaker of Jans, one of the sponsors of the Utah Cycling Festival, many prestigious teams will be in town, including 7-11, Reebok, and Bridgestone. Noaker said he expects from 100 to 120 Juniors to come to Park City for the races. Other classes, Veterans and Seniors, will be eligible for some of the races. Noaker expects from 40 to 50 Veterans to come for the race. Most of the Seniors will come from the local area, he expects. Noaker says the festival is the "biggest road race" in the state. Beyond that, only a couple events in the country have Junior team time trials. For spectators, he thinks one particular part of the festival, the Park CityReebok Criterium to be held on July 16, will be the most interesting. The criterium is a one hour race run over a one kilometer loop. The loop begins at the Resort Center, down by Shadow Ridge, then left to the light. At the light the racers turn right up Park Ave., then take another right at the Chevron Station. On Woodside they go left, then a right on 14th up the steep hill. At the top of the hill the racers go left, around the parking lot back to the Resort Center. Noaker thinks the criterium will be the most fun to watch because spectators spec-tators will be able to see the cyclists in a variety of different situations, from tight corners, to downhill stretches, to testing uphill climbs. Following is the complete schedule for the Utah Cycling Festival: July 13 Jans Prolog Time Trial, a 6K hill climb from Jans to the Silver Lake Lodge. 9 a.m. start. All classes.

Slide show will detai Norwegian School by RANDY HANSKAT Record staff writer Seen any good slide shows lately? Probably not, right? Far too many dumb shots of fat relatives, ugly scenery, state border signs, and the like, eh? Well, maybe it's about time you took in a good slide show. How's Tuesday, July 12 at 7 p.m. for you? That night the Norwegian School of Nature Life and its director, Tom Cammermeyer, will host a slide show at the Old Miners Lodge at 615 Woodside. The show, which is masquerading mas-querading as a wine and cheese party, par-ty, will detail the summer and fall activities of the school. And, unlike the other free slide shows you have to struggle through, this one will be fun. But, you say, that's a bad night for you. What with Softball games, par-chesi par-chesi tournaments, and the like. OK, so we'll let you in on some of the stuff to be covered at the wir e and cheese party and slide show. To go with summer, the Norwegian School is heavily into hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, bik-ing, and the all that jazz. Seven days a week you can take any number of one day adventures through the school. If you have a group, you can even dictate what you would like to see and do. Some like longer excursions, however. The school conducts seven day treks for $225. Two are particularly par-ticularly tempting. One trek takes people to the Green River Lakes of Wyoming for some hiking and canoeing. The other takes the group to Durango, Colorado where it boards the DurangoSilverton Historic Railway. Halfway through the ride, at Elk Park, the group gets off and backpacks into the beautiful countryside. The school also seeks to get the community's youth involved in the outdoors, with a whole agenda geared to that segment of town. For instance, with groups of four or more teens, the organizer can go along free. Prices for such groups run $llperson for a full day hike, $17person for a one night backpack trek, and $25 for two nights. All prices include food. Groups can take standard treks, or can choose to go somewhere entirely new. As further incentive, the school offers of-fers a 10 percent discount to anyone referred by the Teen Center. Otherwise, two days of the week are important for those who like to take shorter hikes, those of the one to two hour variety. Wednesday mornings hikes leave from City Park at 8 a.m. and return at 10 a.m. Those are free. Then on Sunday evenings, hikes leave from the Yarrow at 5:30 p.m. and return at 7:00 p.m. Those excursions excur-sions are more detailed, covering local history and nature throughout the hike. Cost for those hikes is $5.50 for adults, $2.25 for children. There is a world of other stuff out there that the school offers, but to find out about it you will have to make the July 12 slide show. Or you could call 649-1217 and get more information. in-formation. But, of course, the latter won't be as visually pleasing. Freedom on the run and on the foot A total of 364 people turned out early Monday morning to celebrate the fourth by sweating and running in the Park City Mountain Run, a 5K dash. The race started and finished in the parking lot below the Resort Center. Paul Pilkington was first with a time of 15.19. Henry Marsh was second at 15.41, with Steve Richards third at 15.48. For the women, it was Celsa Bowman first at 18.35. Kelly Watkins was second at 19.00, and Gail Driscoll third at 19.32. Sponsors of the race were Cole Sport, Industrial Supply, and KALL Radio.
