Subaru Cup

A big week/weekend of racing for the Flyers, can you find Dale Lenss in the photo.....Dale representing in the pro race!

For most of the last two weeks you could and would find Q on the pavement across the eastern side of the state.....it was TOAD time! Nice job Q, back on the bike after the mishap....just like riding a bike!

This past weekend was the BIG DADDY! Subaru Cup time for the WORS crowd and a few pro racers from across North America.....a great weekend of racing for all who made the trip! A few highlites if I am remembering correctly and in no order and sorry if I forget anything......?

Seth Lenss tore up the Cat 1 field, out in front by what seemed to be over a minute! Awesome ride Seth, hung onto 4th after a little mechanical messed with him.....still a great ride! After that it was really just everyone on the course getting it done, Flyers numbers were moderate and could have been higher but still a lot of us out there! Davidson ripped it up in the short track on Sunday......flying thru the field......and then got pulled.....like most of us? BP had a nice weekend of racing even though his gears fell off......a great single speed ride in the short track! Pascalle took a Cat 3 Super D win......just a ton of great performances, nice job to all.

Camping was stellar with the team all in one general area.....storms and all, we had a good time!

The story of the weekend in my point of view.......watching the little fellas in the Cat 3 race come thru, one kid rides up to his Dad and says, "it's too hard, I'm done?" So the kid goes over and takes his helmet off and sits on the ground.........the Expo kids went over and chatted with him, he sat there a little longer........then he gets up and walks back down, puts his helmet on and gets his bike........he was going to finish the race! The crowd was cheering like crazy for the kid......he will never forget that day.......that day he did NOT quit. That is why we all mountain bike and love to be around our WORS family.
