Cannondale Scalpel outfitted and ready for La Ruta
By: Alex Grant
2010 runner-up gives a tour of his rig for this coming week's racing
The Cannondale Scalpel is Alex Grant's weapon of choice for La Ruta.

It comes with an 80mm Rock Shox Monarch shock in the rear.
Up front, the Cannondale Lefty Speed Carbon XLR 100mm travel fork smooths things out. It has a remote lock out.
For the crankset, Alex Grant is racing the Cannondale Hollowgram cranks on an SRM spider. He says the power readings help him pace himself in endurance efforts.
Alex Grant will use a SRAM XX cassette for good mud shedding. He'll use an 11-36 tooth cassette for La Ruta.

La Ruta de los Conquistadores is unlike any other bike race, and therefore requires some specific equipment choices. Not only is the race itself unique, each stage is different from the others. It's a real puzzle to put together the right setup, but I think I've found what works for me.
I'll just be bringing the one bike and hopefully not swapping any parts out besides brake pads as I think this bike will be good for every scenario La Ruta will throw at us: from 30 percent grade climbs, to jungle mud hiking, to the 8,000-foot descent off of the Irazu Volcano, to the 30km of railroad tracks we ride on day 4!
Frame: Cannondale Scalpel Team high modulus carbon, size large. 80mm rear travel, Rock Shox monarch rear shock. The frame is the building block of the bike and when you start with one of the lightest and stiffest full suspension frames in the industry, it's hard to go wrong. The Scalpel climbs like a hardtail but is amazingly forgiving and plush on the downhill. That will be key to staying fresh and hopefully help to avoid flat tires. The mud clearance is also excellent on the Scalpel which may come in to play.
Fork: Cannondale Lefty Speed Carbon XLR 100mm travel with remote hydro lockout. The Lefty is amazingly light and stiff, and this one weighs in at about 2.5 lbs! That weight savings goes a long way. It also is ideal for muddy conditions as the mud clearance is unparalleled by any other fork.
Wheels: Stan's Notubes ZTR Podium MMX rear, ZTR Race front. Stan's wheels contribute to the light setup and the patented BST (Bead Socket Technology) really locks in the bead. One thing people overlook with Stan's is the lower rim height which changes the contact point if you rim out on something and helps to mitigate flat tires.
Tires: Continental Race King 2.0 Protection. This is one of the dilemmas of La Ruta. I choose to go narrow for the mud clearance and paved climbing, but sturdy on the sidewalls for extra protection. These aren't the lightest tires but are super fast rolling and sturdy. I really hope I didn't just jinx myself...
Crankset: Cannondale Hollowgram cranks on an SRM spider. Running the SRM is a small weight penalty but its been so helpful to me this season, especially with pacing during endurance races. Paired with the Cannondale cranks, it's still one of the lightest cranksets out there. I'll be using the 39/26 tooth rings. The 26 will be nice up the steep grades, and a 39-11 gear should get me through the flats.
Cassette: SRAM XX. This was a last-minute change due to mud shedding. I find with the XX cassette that mud falls in to the open space in the middle of the cassette and stays out of the teeth. I'll run the 11-36 tooth cassette for La Ruta.
Chain: SRAM PC 1091. Threw it on when I put the new cassette on.
Shifters/Derailleurs: Shimano XTR. I have been thrilled with the shifting of the new XTR stuff this year.
Brakes: Shimano XTR. The stopping power and feel of the new XTR brakes is amazing. It will be nice to have coming off the Irazu volcano. I will be using the pads with the radiating aluminum fins which will be great for cooling the brake system down, as well as have the added benefit of keeping mud from falling in the top of my brake caliper.
Pedals: This is another La Ruta specific change. I switched to Shimano XTR pedals this spring once I started working for them. I ran them all year with great success but for La Ruta, I had to go with Crank Brothers Egg Beaters simply because of how they function in the mud. You can clip in with a big glob of mud on your shoe. This is key with the amount of times we are off and on the bike in the mud.
Seatpost/Handlebar: PRO XCR carbon
Saddle: PRO Turnix Carbon rail
Grips: ESI chunky foam.
Total bike weight as pictured: 20.4 lbs.=9,25 kgs

La Ruta de los Conquistadores 2011
November 2- 5 2011
La Ruta de los Conquistadores, Costa Rica, SR
Sonntag returns to defend La Ruta title
Favorites head to Costa Rica
By:
Sue George, Mountain Bike Editor
The countdown is on to La Ruta de Los Conquistadores, which will kick off on Wednesday, November 2 and run for four total days over 240 miles and five mountain ranges as it takes racers across the continent from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea.
Although it comes late in the season, when many racers have hung up their bikes for a well-deserved break, La Ruta always attracts a few top foreign pros ready to take on the challenge against a tough field of Costa Ricans.
2010 La Ruta winner Ben Sonntag (Cannondale) of Germany will be back with his teammate and runner-up Alex Grant of the United States to defend his title. The two come with the advantage of past experience and a proven strong working relationship.
The pair will compete against two other past winners, Manuel Prado and Federico Lico Ramirez, both of Costa Rica. They are guaranteed to play a role in the outcome of the race as they both try to win again. Last year, Ramirez was third and the top Costa Rican. Colombian Luis Mejia was also strong last year, but was disqualified mid-race for accepting outside support. Look for him to again target a top finishing place to make up for last year.
US national mountain bike and cyclo-cross Todd Wells (Specialized) is heading south for his first-ever La Ruta and his first trip to Costa Rica. Wells is a top-10 finisher at Worlds and the World Cup, but he has little stage race experience, although he is also a strong long distance performer, having won the most recent edition of the Leadville 100 in August. Coming off a long season of elite mountain biking and a brief season of 'cross racing, including doing both UCI-level 'cross races in Boulder the weekend before La Ruta, it will be interesting to see how Wells stacks up against the regular endurance pros.
In the women's race, Angela Parra of Colombia will not be back to defend her 2010 La Ruta title, but the field includes several women who could claim the top title. Past winner Louise Kobin, who finished as runner-up last year, may have more experience than anyone else out there and she has the savvy to get the job done. Rebecca Rusch (Specialized) is returning with the goal of topping her third place finish last year.
And both Americans will face a tough challenge from Costa Ricans Brenda María Muñoz and Ligia Madrigal. The former was the top Costa Rican finisher in 2010 while Madrigal brings plenty of experience and local knowledge to the start line.
La Ruta de los Conquistadors follows the route of the Spanish conquistadores, led by Juan De Cavallón. While it took him 20 years to make the journey, the mountain bike racers will do it in just four days.
The race has moved up on the calendar by about two weeks from last year. The move closer to the heart of the rainy season means racers are more likely to face the notorious mud and rains that feature in many editions. No matter what the conditions though, the 39,000 feet of climbing make La Ruta one of the toughest mountain bike races in the world
The legendary stage 1 starts at 6:00 am on November 2 and competitors have until 5:30 pm to complete the 110km before being disqualified. It won't be easy. From sea level, riders climb numerous hills that hit riders with a total elevation gain of approximately 12,000 feet. Day 1 is known by competitors as the "make it or break it" day.
Many people think that stage 2 is the easiest day of the race, but it's no picnic. While the weather can be mild, it features long, grinding climbs with a total elevation gain of nearly 10,000 feet. There are also rumors of unexpected surprises en route.
Stage 3 brings a third consecutive crack of dawn start. The 79km route includes a climb of about 6,000 feet from Tres Ríos straight up the Irazú Volcano, with the high probability of cold weather much of the day. Starting at 1291 meters above sea level, the ride is a never-ending ascent until riders reach 3025m (about 10,000 feet). Then it levels off, passes the Turrialba Volcano, and starts one of the fastest and longest downhills in Costa Rica, finishing in the town of Turrialba at an elevation of 607m (about 2,000) feet. Being prepared for cold weather riding and having well-functioning brakes is important for success.
Stage 4 goes through a series of climbs and down hills for a total elevation gain of about 2700 feet, mostly during the first half of the ride. The last half is mainly flat. Despite the relatively small amount of climbing, it's a hard, long 120km, frequently with hot coastal temperatures, scattered showers, tropical vegetation and very long, flat straightaways. It is this stage which includes the famous sections along old railroad beds, including some old rail bridges high above a river. Missing railroad ties will test racers' surefootedness and comfort level with heights, but along the way they'll be cheered on by locals who come out to watch them traverse the treacherous bridges.
Expect all kinds of riding conditions this day: mud, gravel, asphalt, and loose rocks. Temperatures will be very high in the lowlands, as high as 105 degrees F and cooler in the mountains.

Welcome to LA RUTA DE LOS CONQUISTADORES 2011 !!
“I didn’t think I could make it.” he tell the crowd, “there was a lot of pain..” he flaters and breaks down in tears, thrusting his face into his hands... A wave of applause and cheer rises from the beach and I begin to understand the power of this event.
This is why Roman bears the burden of LA RUTA. Why he brings to organize this logistical nightmare, this viciously punishing event. Why his young staffers sleep three hours for minimal pay. Why riders around the world are willing to submit themselves to the tribulations and natural wonders of Costa Rica. This race exist to teach people what they can overcome.
Roman told me at one point during the race, “Just like in life LA RUTA is about taking what you´re given and coming out on top.”
“Surviving man,” he said, with a flash of steely blue eyes... “Surviving.”
