RANDOLPH, Utah. November 6,
2013. Joe Coles, a promoter of special events, appeared before the Commission
for feedback on the bike race events that he had sponsored this past
summer. One was the Bear Lake Brawl and
the other the Bear Lake Triathlon. Both
were held in September.
Commissioner Tom Weston noted
that the participants doubled back so that they were both going and coming on
the same road. That can be a problem and
was something the Commissioners requested not be attempted.
Also the route used was
different than the one Tom thought had been approved. He had asked that when the racers go south to
Round Valley, they go as far as the road going to Cottonwood Canyon, then turn
and go back to Laketown. This would
alleviate getting mixed up with any cattle coming down from the hills. Because they didn’t follow that route, they
ended up going through a herd of cattle that was being moved as well as some
other cattle that had just come down from the hills. The Commissioners noted that wild cattle
could have really caused some problems.
They are not tame by any means.
It was just lucky someone wasn’t hurt.
Mr. Coles said he would check
his maps and see why that route hadn’t been followed. He noted that he wants to sponsor these
events again this next year and will be back for permission when the time draws
closer.
