It will be re-scheduled, tooooo much water on the course.

Kewaunee Road Race

We had a nice showing at the Kewaunee Troutman Road Race, a great way to kick off the first Annual road race for the festival....nice job to all who made the trip to the Lakeshore! Little Miss Steele leading Papa up a small climb.....great to see a young Flyer on the bike!


All the way from Spooner (I think).....Matt Steele powering up the hills....is there a theme here....hills?

The gang all set to rumble.....again on the small hills!

Team shot, or most of the team......there are few missing, nice job to all.....including Seth Lenss who came thru in Second place to dirt Flyer Mitch (IS Corp on the road)......again I know the organizers appreciated the turnout......sweet!

I think we also had a few hit the pavement in the Titletown Bike Tour Saturday as well.....little wet from what I hear? It is almost Flyer time, we tend to have strong August thru the end of the season's.....so let's get on the bike and represent at the races.....including me!

Up this weekend is a road race in Blue Mounds and then Franklin for the Alterra Classic, GOOOOOOOOOOO!

WORS Tour de France (aka Firecracker)

OK, it wasn’t really the Tour de France, but Eau Claire is a French name.

The Flyers proudly flew the colors – 21 strong. Not bad seeing it is on the other side of the state from Titletown.

It was a fun race, and WORS did a nice job having a blow-up jumpy thing for the kids and a movie Sat night – all free!

So here is the race report – via leveraged pics:

The young guys leadout - Scott, you either have a serious look or just sad?

Borst leading out the "experienced" guys.

Ken dropping me by the first turn...

Jesse flying through the lap

Gary has his game face on...

Hmm, I look slow in this pic...(I know Schindel, I AM slow...), but where were you?

Steele shredding the singletrack

Lori - have you given up that running thing yet so you can bike full time?

Ken descending and looking to attack - good recovery after having a mechanical.

The Chilton Flash flying through the course - He looked strong when he blew past me in the pines singletrack!

Kris rocking the Lefty fork. Good to see the Klapperich clan at the race.

Butch ripping up the singletrack after dropping me after the first lap.

Bill wishing he had his rear suspension...

Good job to all of the Flyers! If anyone has pics or stories after races, shoot them to me and I'll post them.

Hope to see everyone at Alterra, and remember to circle the weekend of Aug 21-22 on your calendars - we need racers and helpers for the Ramble!
