More than 100 mountain bikers visited Beaver Creek for the Vail Recreation District’s sixth race of the season on Wednesday.
EagleVail local Josiah Middaugh notched the fastest time of the evening, finishing about 3 minutes ahead of the nearest competitor.
Middaugh competed in the men’s pro division, which attracted 11 competitors on Wednesday, up from seven competitors in 2019. Several racers were visiting from the Front Range.
But few traveled as far to reach the venue as a trio of competitors from Glenwood Springs, who reached Vail via Independence Pass on Wednesday due to the closure of Interstate 70.
The Grizzly Creek Fire prevented many from Glenwood from attending last week’s races at Camp Hale, but the Lutgring family said they weren’t going to let it stop them again this week. Hans Lutgring said his daughter Chloe, 15, really wanted to race, so they decided to make the 135-mile trip through Aspen and Leadville.
Hans raced, as well, and Chloe’s mountain biking coach, Randy Tuggle of Glenwood Springs High School mountain biking team, also joined them, competing on a single-speed fat bike.
Chloe has been riding a mountain bike for eight years, but just started participating in competitive mountain biking last year. In July, she won the women’s sport division at the Vail Recreation District’s Lost Lake Mountain Bike Race.
“They canceled the high school season, so this is the only season she has,” Hans said. “So it’s worth it.”
Chloe said she enjoyed competing against Vail local Heidi Kloser at the Lost Lake race and again in Beaver Creek on Wednesday. Heidi’s brother Christian Kloser also competed on Wednesday, finishing fourth in the men’s pro division.
While dozens of competitors were not able to make it to last week’s races in Camp Hale — especially in the youth division, which saw only 11 competitors show up of the 60 who had pre-registered — this week’s races were much more well attended.
