Sheboygan......Shevegas

A great day on a great course, wow, what a day to ride your bike in the woods! A good number of us out there for the last WORS race of the season, nice job to all that raced and stuck around for some good raffle waiting fun.....so none of us won a bike......oh well!

Not too many pictures since I was shooting the Sport race for Gary, found these on MountainGoat's site. Warren leading me down the "pucker factor," our last time down, had a great day racing with Warren.



Mr. Pallex in about the same spot, some where on Pucker, hold on and let it rip. Great season to all, our numbers dipped a little but still a good solid season as usual, great to be out racing with a great bunch of riders like you all. About a dozen of us still have the Iceman on our schedules, but after that we will have a team get together......just get together and shoot the breeze, have a few beers, just hang out with the team.

Next season......about all I really know for sure is that there will be changes, what changes I have yet to solidify? I know it will be good and it will all work out for the "even" better, so I invite you all to sit back and take a rest.....but still ride a little, and wait for the big news :)

Iceman racers, I will throw a training ride schedule together sometime in the next day or two.....the biggest battle to a successful Iceman is staying on the bike and keeping your fitness. Stay tuned.

Ride for the Timbers

A great fall morning greeted a handful of team riders for the 2nd Annual Ride for the Timbers, a ride to benefit the education programs at the Fallen Timbers Environmental Center west of Seymour. I set up the tent and workstand to provide mechanical support for all....I think myself and one other guy pumped up about 50 tires each......at least it felt like that many!


Matt, Paul Westberg, Mike, Bill, and Dennis made the trip out for the ride! Thanks a lot guys for coming out, very much appreciated! As you can see, the fellas "bundled" up for the 8am start, 100k waiting for them!


They're off, Paul working hard going for the holeshot.....new car on the line for this holeshot preem...............ok not!!!


Later fellas, look at that sunshine peeking thru......turned out to be a great day for a ride. Nice course with a few small hills, I think Bill said about 11oo ft. of elevation on the 100k route. When everyone rolled back to the center, chili and ice cream with maple syrup waiting for them.....Mmmm!

A good day for all, thanks again for coming out guys!

Wolf River Rendevous

We had a very good turnout at race #11 of the series.....a nice course that is open to riding anytime, team ride sometime before the snow falls? Great weather and a fast course made for a excellent day of racing! Dennis cranking up that incline on the start loop!


Rich smiling.....he is sneaking up on Dennis.....shhhh! Nice ride Rich!


Warren out in the woods.....ah Warren......you forgot your derailluer! Awesome race, 3rd in age class on the full boing single speed!


Tom looks a little dirty, I know it was dusty.....Tom did you fall down.....nice racing out there!


Now that is a good looking crew, gotta like those racing stripes on the heads! Great showing by the team, we all made it thru the culvert,tunnel, cattle crossing? Really cool to see everyone out there having a blast, one more race and it's close by......see you all there!

Thanks to Heather for all of the pics, excellent work Heather!!!!!!

Team member from the Wausau area, Gregg Bednorski was killed in a very unfortunate cycling accident late last week, he was a racer of all disciplines. A friend and fellow racer of Randy Bailey, and as many have said......just a great guy!

Ride on Gregg.

New Mountain Bike Categories for next year

Just wanted to let you all know that USA Cycling is changing the categories for Mountain Bike Racing beginning next season, they will look more like the road cats. Check out the link to a pdf from USA Cycling and read up, not sure yet how this will effect WORS?

http://www.usacycling.org/forms/mtb/MTB_Categories_KeyPoints.pdf

Great job to all that raced Chequamegon, long or short, cause they are both real races.......yes that was a little dig to all who feel compelled to talk down on the "short and smart!"

Ride on and see you ALL in Shawano, a very short drive north, are you with me?

Rhinelander

Andy on the podium, thinking he likes the color yellow, always seems to come in 4th! Nice job Andy!

Mark on the podium, great ride on the "loaner" frame. Or is it your frame?


Team work, Ryan handing Matt a bottle of the secret super power liquid energy booster! Hurry up Lanser because.......see next photo!


This is why you must hurry Matt.....pea size hail is on the way......never mind it's here already! Lanser got to ride in a 100 mph wind blast that just about blew Andy and I away as we hung on for dear life to the EZ-Up tent.....the wind physically moved us and the tent about 5 feet. Oh the hail, yes Lanser was out in the hail.....nice ride Lanser and all of the Stadium riders that made the trip way up nort'!

Excellent course that flowed real well and had just the right amount of everything, good venue and volunteers (food)....all good and everyone rode very well. The camping along the lake was not bad either :)

Chequamy time!
