#2 in the books....

What a fun weekend!!  I think the Rhinelander course is the best course WORS has to offer and I always have fun racing/riding here.  The results:

Lisa 2nd overall
Michelle 8th overall/1st in age
Me 4th overall
Darrin 5th overall
Ryan 7th overall
Scott 27th overall
Mark 61st overall/10th age

For the mens race:  The start was pretty chill with myself needing to take a couple risks to get to the leaders due to my poor race at Iola, but settled into 7th as we entered into the singletrack.  The first lap I think Darrin and Tristan traded pulls a couple times before Darrin decided to put a little dig in on one of the doubletrack sections on the first lap.  Once the group brought him back I then tested the waters a bit just to see how everyone was riding.  I think this gave Darrin the confidence to attack the entire group on the road section past the start finish shoot.  Ouch!!  I knew this was going to hurt cause I would need to cover any counter attack and sure enough it was Wicks then said I am done playing games and I am checking out!!  I tried to go, but could not hang on!! After blowing myself apart I calmed back down and waited for Tristan and Brian to come up to me.  Tristan then did a majority of the pace making and seemed to be more comfortable at the front.  Finally on the last lap I tried to go in the back singletrack section but both Brian and Tristan were glued to me!  We came out the other side and onto the double track with me pulling them to the line before they both attacked.  I did what I could to go with both legs cramped up.  What a fun day!!  Darrin settle din with Mike Andersen for the 2nd lap after blowing the race apart and ended up rolling in for 5th. Ryan also had another great race and came in for 7th.

Nest up for a majority of the team is WORS #3, except for Scott who will be at the inaugural Chequamegon 100.
