Swenson takes A Race

By Paul Schoening

Boom Island was once used as a log sorting station for the logging industry. No longer an island due to mans need to control the river, the area is now use for recreation opportunities and a new residential community built along the Mississippi River. Situated above historic Main Street, Nicollet Island, and the St. Anthony Lock and Dam in Minneapolis, Boom Island connects residents and visitors to the majestic beauty of the Mississippi River.

The historical main channel of the Mississippi River flowed to the west of Boom Island. The east channel was gradually filled in during the lumber mill days. Booms are chains of logs use to float other logs down the river. Boom companies would pluck the logs from the booms and sort them for their respective lumber company. In 1857, the boom companies merged and Boom Island became a sorting station before the logs go to St. Anthony Falls.

Boom Island remained undeveloped through the remaining years of the 19th century. As steam powered saw-mills were built in the 1880, enormous stacks of lumber began to cover the island. On August 13, 1893, a fire broke out from southern Nicollet Island and spread quickly through the pile of lumber, engulfing the sawmills, businesses and houses for miles around. On September 25th, Boom Island, now a city park, greeted hundreds of racers to a perfect season opening for crossers in the northland. Balmy temperatures in the 70's and NW winds of up to 25 MPH are a made to order Cyclocross battle.

The course was laid out along the Mississippi river meandering about the parking lot and an old landfill. It was a spectator friendly course as it was quite short and narrow. There was a notable hill and several technical sections to cause difficulty along the way, a very creative course!

With Team pride and cash at stake, the A race turned out to be an epic battle at the front between friends Doug Swanson (Trek/VW), Jed Schneider (Alan Factory) and Jake Stechmann (Subway-Express). The nearly UCI legal course turned out to be challenging nonetheless, including a back busting run up a sandy bank along the Mississippi River...
