Numbers are not transferable. another competitor, race worker, or spectator is grounds for ÊÊ All competitors must wear a properly secured helmet, complying disqualification from an individual event, first offense, and WORS to DOT or CPSC Standards at all times during competition as well as when pre-riding or warming up on the course. Competitors upon the second offense! must wear proper riding attire, including a shirt, shorts, and fullyenclosed shoes during competition. ÊÊ Each competitor is responsible for having their bike in good operating condition, including but not limited to: two fullyfunctioning brakes, plugged handlebar ends, NO hazardous attachments including kickstands and reflectors, adjusted hubs and headset, true wheels, and a sound frame (no cracks, severe bends or dents). Race and/or WORS officials may remove any racer from the start whom they feel is attempting to compete on an unsafe bike. Racers must start with and ride the same bike throughout any single event. ÊÊ Personal listening devices which may interfere with a racer’s awareness of other racers and their surroundings are strictly prohibited on the race course. ÊÊ All Competitors must be self sufficient. All repairs during a race must be performed by the individual racers. Tools and spare parts used in a repair must be carried by the racer. No off-course assistance is allowed and racers may not “cannibalize” or accept any parts off anyone else’s bike during a race. ÊÊ Deviation from the marked course will result in disqualification unless the competitor reenters the course at point of exit. This includes ducking under any flagging marking the boundaries of the finish chute. A competitor that purposely leaves the marked course during competition is deemed to have retired from the race and will be scored as a DQ or DNF. ÊÊ Feeding and/or “hand-ups” may occur on any part of the course. However any interference with another competitor during a hand-up is grounds for disqualification. This is an override of USA Cycling Mountain rules and is in effect throughout WORS. ÊÊ Any competitor littering the course with a gel packet, food wrappers or other waste will be disqualified! ÊÊ A competitor on their bike has the right-of-way over one pushing their bike. Whenever a competitor is off their bike, they need to make every effort to allow access to the fastest/most rideable part of the track to racers on their bikes. ÊÊ Lapped racers must yield the track immediately. A lapped racer by definition is one from the same starting wave as the overtaking racer. Other racers being overtaken should make every effort to let faster riders by as soon as the course allows. ÊÊ It is the responsibility of an overtaking rider to pass safely. No racer is expected to stop their race to allow other racers to pass.

ÊÊ Mountain biking is an individual sport, and even though WORS does have a team competition, entering into agreements or forming alliances (monetary or otherwise) to control or alter the results of a race will result in disqualification from that individual event.

ÊÊ Pre-riding the race course after the start of the first race of the day is prohibited! On race day the only individuals riding bicycles on the race course should be those entered in the category(ies) competing at the time. Interference with a race other than the one a competitor is entered in will result in disqualification (i.e. an Elite racer riding on the race course during the Sport race in such a way as to cause alteration of results or put Sport racers in danger). ÊÊ A race may be halted or rerouted by the race director or emergency personnel in case of severe injury to a rider or life threatening weather. Racers failing to heed the instruction of medical personal and/or course marshals attending to an injured rider will be disqualified! ÊÊ Protests of the results, the conduct of a racer, or any other matters related to the race, may only be filed by a competitor in the event or a race official. Protests must be reported to or filed with a timing official within 10 minutes of the completion of an event, initial posting of results in question, or a ruling to be considered valid. All results become final as of the presentation of awards. ÊÊ The sale of merchandise or display of products for promotional purposes at WORS events without the permission of WORS and the individual event director is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to banners, tents, and anything not permanently attached to a vehicle that a competitor has driven to an event.

2011 guidelines and rules to race by

at the Subaru Cup comes from a series racer’s participation in either the Super D or the Short Track. Series points will be awarded for a racer’s placing amongst racers from their WORS category within the Subaru Cup Short Track or Super D age class (not normal WORS class) raced.

VOLUNTEER POINTS: Series competitors who forfeit participation in a race to help run the event may qualify for volunteer points. To receive these points, a point total equal to a racers lowest scoring race excluding DNF’s, a racer must: 1) contact the race director at least 8 days in advance of the race to apply for acceptance to the race staff, 2) work a minimum of 5 hours on race day, and 3) pick up a VP (volunteer points) form from the WORS tent, fill it out, have their Race Director sign it and turn it in to WORS Timing & Scoring. A series competitor may include only one VP in their overall results. The VP will either replace a competitor’s lowest scoring event with a point value equal to the second lowest score or one equal to their lowest score depending upon the number of scoring events they have in their overall score.

POINTS: Points awarded at each individual WORS race toward series overall scores for Comp, Cat 1, and Pro overalls, as well as places within each age class for all categories, are listed in the WORS Series (Overall) Point Scale table below. Points awarded for Cat 1 age classes are awarded by combining overall finish points with age class finish points.

ÊÊ I gnorance of the RULES is NEVER an admissible defense! Read and know the rules.

WORS races are sanctioned by USA Cycling. USA Cycling rules not specifically covered here may also apply.

Final interpretation the Rules is up to the Event Director, WORS and/or USA Cycling representatives on hand.

These individuals have control over all competitors, scorers, and officials at each WORS event and their decision on these rules, and any situations not specifically covered by these rules, is final!

WORS Team Competition

Whether you are a member of a large formalized team or just want to get your buds together to be a part of the fun, you will want to be a part of WORS Team Competition. The competition has 5 divisions with 1st through 3rd place* awards to the teams with the greatest number of entrants and to the teams with the greatest number of team points accumulated at the end of this year’s 12 race schedule. (*1st place requires 2 teams in the division, 2nd place 4 teams, and 3rd place 6 or more teams.)

WORS highly encourages all mountain bikers to join a team. Doing so will help you maximize both your racing and riding enjoyment and performance. Want to connect with a team in your area, contact WORS at wors@wors.org or call (715) 592-5095 and we will do our best to get you a contact.

Divisions • Unlimited Team: Teams with more than 20 members compete in this division. (Registration fee: $50).

• Large Team: 13-19 racers . (Registration fee $40).

• Mid-Sized Team: 7-12 racers. (Registration fee: $30).

• Small Team Division: 2-6 Racers. (Registration fee: $20).

• Junior: Teams in this division will be made up of registered WORS racers 18 years of age (as of 12-31-11) and under. Team rosters for this division are limited to 10 or fewer racers and are encouraged to include 20% female racers. Multiple teams from the same shop, sponsor, etc. are strongly encouraged. (Registration fee: $20).

Only racers registered with WORS and having a WORS Series Number will score points for their team. A Team Competition

Registration Form (along with team roster) must be turned into WORS and have each competitor’s WORS series number and name on the roster.

A registered WORS racer may only ride for one team. (This includes junior team members.) A team may enter one or more teams in the Junior Division, but only one team in any of the other divisions.

Team Changes: Competitors who change teams during the series should notify WORS as soon as possible after the change via a team modification form. The team points they have earned prior to notification will remain with their previous team. Team points cannot be contributed to their new team until 2012.

Registration

Teams must register by July 10th.

However, teams have through the sixth race to make additions to their rosters. Team points will be awarded retroactively through the date each team member began racing with a WORS series number. Team members who change categories during the season and reregister with WORS will receive credit for both categories.

Pick up a team registration form from the WORS tent at a race or on the website at www.wors.org. Turn it in to WORS by July 10th, 2011. Team scores are figured retroactively back to the first race for which each team member had a 2011 WORS series number.

Team Scoring Participants: To receive credit toward the “Participants” awards in WORS Team Competition a competitor must have a valid WORS series number and must either finish the race with a recorded time or report their DNF to timing the day of the race. Teams receive one point for each team member, meeting the above criteria, towards the “Participants” competition.

Points: Points for the “Points” competition of WORS Team Competition are figured by taking the series overall points each team member earns (see WORS Guidelines, WORS Scoring) and multiplying those points by the class multiplier. No points are earned for DNFs or DNS’s.

Class Multiplier Only racers listed on the team roster that accompanied their team registration form will be scored.

The

Iola Bump and Jump race course evolves a little each year based on racer input, rider and spectator safety, and the condition of individual sections of the track.

However, the overall character that makes this course a favorite of many remains constant. The start loop that takes racers up and around the back side of Iola’s 40 & 60 meter ski jumps and then drops back down past the lodge into the jump bowl may be the best lead-out in all of WORS. In addition, several minor singletrack modifications have been made to improve the racing experience for all. For the youngest novice racers, the WORS Kid’s Race course provides an opportunity for them to expand their skills.

In

1997 a Rhinelander area Fire Department with the help of several volunteers started a mountain bike race created by Bikes-N-Boards, a premier outfitter for outdoor sports. Now run by the Boy Scouts of Samoset Council, this race will help fund the world renowned Camp Tesomas facility open since 1935 where youth from around the globe have come to enjoy the Northwood’s. Camp Tesomas (Hanna Venture Base) is located only minutes north of Rhinelander, where it’s set on the shores of Crystal Lake, a beautiful spring fed lake deserving of its name. This pristine setting is perfect for mountain biking with the lake making an excellent choice for cooling down after a hard ride through the woods.

2007 marked the first year that this Mountain Bike Race was affiliated with the WORS. The race begins and ends at Camp Tesomas (Hanna Venture Base). The trail also traverses lands owned by the School District of Rhinelander, Plum Creek, Inc., and Terry Strong. We thank each of them for their cooperation in allowing this trail to exist. And a special thank you to Wayne Fish, for his dedicated hours of trail work. We are indebted to his dedication to this race. Wayne was taken from us by brain cancer and this race is now dedicated to Wayne Fish. His dream of a premier race in the Rhinelander area will live on in his honor for years to come.

The course is heavily forested, containing a mix of hardwoods and pine plantations. The soil is ideally suited for

mountain biking, made up of rock, sand and clay. Rain or shine, the surface holds up well to the pounding of bike tires. The rolling terrain also creates a tough, exhilarating, yet fun bike ride.

We have cabins and campsites available during the weekend. And we are one of the only races that provide every racer with shower and Crossing the Boardwalk. bike wash facilities. And don’t forget we have the state’s largest climbing tower and zip-line open for your enjoyment with boating and other activities to keep everyone in the family happy.

Staged at one of the Midwest’s premier crosscountry skiing areas, Nine Mile Forest, it takes full advantage of this area’s abundant single track and wide open rolling ski trails and adds a bit of double track to provide mountain bikers with a two wheeled thrill ride. Nine Mile is just 4 miles west of Wausau and with over 25 combined miles of wide fast rolling cross country ski trails and twisting rocky single track through the forest, this expansive trail network offers numerous options for course placement. The single track of this race course will keep you tightly gripping the bars and searching for the best line however, racers will need to be prepared to shift to their big ring as they roll out onto the ski trail segments. Whether your forte is hammering on the wide open rolling hills or carving a line through technical terrain, you’re assured a great ride at this event. Nine Mile also allows for a longer overall course with less lapping making for a more enjoyable racing experience for all.

COME TO RACE

STAY TO WATCH Cars and bikes united by a mutual love of mud.

Getting dirty. To those with the go-anywhere capability of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a passion for mountain biking, it just comes naturally. And with help from our dedicated partners, you can be sure there will be plenty of muddy trails and a means to enjoy them for a long time to come. Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

IMBA advises riders to avoid wet trails if possible. Visit imba.com to learn more.

2010 top five elite women

2010 WORS Elite Women’s Overaall Champion - Abby Strigel -

“I race bikes because I enjoy nothing more than riding my bike through the woods. My favorite race of 2010 was the Subaru Cup. Everything about that race was amazing. The course was challenging and fun and the competition was very exciting. Most of all, the crowds were insane; they truly made it the most exciting race I’ve ever done. 2010 was my first year racing for the Trek Stores of Madison.

The support they gave me was unlike anything I’ve experienced, and I can’t thank them enough for all the work they put in to making the 2010 season so successful. In 2011 I have plans to race WORS, Chequamegon, a few WEMS races, and ride my mountain bike as mush as possible with my awesome teammates.” ** WORS editor’s note: In 2010, Abby became the first racer ever to win four WORS Overall titles.

Elite women’s second place - Lisa Krayer - “Racing

is a great way to stay healthy, push my limits, and hang out with some really cool people.

My favorite WORS race of 2010 was also the Subaru CUP. I was able to win the Cat 1 XC and Short Track and loved everything the XC course had to offer. This was my first year racing for the Adventure 212 Mountain Bike Team and I had a blast getting to know my teammates and loved every second I spent on my new era mountain bike. I’d like to thank my husband Ryan and daughters Kylie and Kelsey for all their cheers and support throughout the long season. With the return of the USA Cycling Pro XCT race at Mt. Morris in 2011, I plan to give the pro division a shot.”

Elite women’s third place - Robin Williams - “My husband Kyle and I have loved racing the WORS series because the courses are always fun and the size of the fields is so large. My favorite race of 2010 was a new experience - Sheboygen. We really

48

WORS 2011

WISCONSIN OFF ROAD SERIES

loved the course and the venue was great for both racers and spectators.

My greatest driving force in cycling has been my husband, Kyle. If it wasn’t for him, I would probably never have started riding a bike let alone race. He keeps my bikes running and supports me during every race.

Mercy/Specialized, Rick Hopson, and Geoff’s Bike and Ski also helped support me in all my cycling endeavors in 2010. For 2011, we hope to race in the WORS Series as much as possible, especially the races prior to July when I start my Pediatrics Internship.”

Chilson Subaru Hwy 93 Eau Claire www.chilsonsubaru.com Chilson Subaru Hwy 93 Eau Claire www.chilsonsubaru.com

Elite women’s fourth place - Lori Sable - ”I race to

have fun, always. And for the cameraderie, competition and to see friends who race every other weekend!

I especially enjoyed the Chippewa Valley Firecracker and Sheboygan in 2010. Fun, technical singletrack and a little bit of everything made those races stand out for me.

There are so many people I can thank for support in 2010. Mark takes care of my bike and the Nighs are so welcoming. And to the people who I ride and race with, and who push me to do better, I’m very grateful!”

Elite women’s fifth place - Claire Cannon - “I race so

that I can ride my bike in the woods more often! I admire the women and men I race with and feel lucky to know them, so it’s great to share in this thing we all enjoy. I don’t know that I have a favorite race from 2010, but my favorite racing moment was on my last lap at Iola when I realized how great my legs felt as compared to that same lap and race the year before. Throughout the season, I enjoyed riding my 2010 Trek Top Fuel more than I thought would be possible and I’m look forward to gaining more confidence and speed in singletrack on my new 2011 Top Fuel next year at WORS. I’m thankful to my Team, Trek Stores of Madison, for such amazing support and for being so crazy fast in singletrack.

And to Matt, for the same reasons.”

burning switchback climb, dizzying single track, and fast fire roads all in the urban setting of Milwaukee County. The Alterra Mountain Bike Team proudly presents a true mountain bike race. Welcome to the Alterra Coffee Bean Classic.

The

marathon style race format lives on at the Reforestation Ramble again for 2011. We believe much of the success from past seasons clearly came from distinct differences in the overall series layout and the different styles of racing that came with the diverse race venues.....and the Ramble definitely provides a nontraditional racing experience! Again in 2011 you will find the course to be a great mix of fast wide open fire lanes, a decent amount of flowing singletrack, and the new norm for this race, a few grinding inclines to keep everyone in check. Pine groves and rolling groves of American elm and aspen make the single track fast and enjoyable, while being technically challenging. The sand based soil holds up great in moist conditions and provides just the right type of surface for great racing no matter the weather conditions, a guarantee you will find yourself begging for the finish with a smile on your face. The later date gives racers of all types one last ramp up for the Chequamegon 40, which takes place just over a month after the Ramble….so come on out for one last high mileage race as you prepare for the 40!

Please note the different start times for the Reforestation Ramble, remind yourself and fellow racers that the Ramble does not follow the traditional start times due to the distances of each category. Junior category

fun! And, I had fun at so many races in 2010 that it is hard to pick a favorite. I think one race that is overlooked is Bear Paw. The venue has proven itself 2 years running. As for my team, Adventure 212/Specialized is filled with people similar to myself. We motivate each other, communicate well, and always have a good

time! We are extremely well represented in all aspects of life. I am proud and honored to be a part of the team.

Aside from the team, my wife Lynn has done more for me than I can list and I owe her the world. And for my racing plans in 2011? Stay tuned.”

Elite men’s fourth place - Brian Matter - “I’ve been

racing for 17 or 18 years now and the best word to describe it is passion: I have a true passion for the sport of mountain biking.

My favorite race from WORS 2010 was Treadfest. I had a horrible start and didn’t feel like racing...I hit the first singletrack and something clicked. My Trek Top Fuel was killing the trail...I started having fun and started racing fast. I was never able to catch the leaders, but I finished 3rd and knew the following weekend at Chequamegon was going to be a good one!

Gear Grinder is back as my title sponsor along with support from Trek, Hyundai, Crank Bros, Bell, and Oakley. 2011 looks like more of the same. WORS racing to get fit for the 3 big races in the midwest and about as much cylocross racing as a person can handle!”

2010 top five elite men

“I am not sure I am one of those people that would just ride to ride, I really only have one reason and that is to compete.

The Subaru Cup was definitely my favorite race of the 2010 season. The course design fit my abilities well: hard technical climbs and shorter descents. I raced for Mafia Racing out of Boulder, CO in 2010 because they offered great support, had the best equipment, and most importantly they just love racing. David at Mafia is a hard worker and loves the sport and is trying to help it grow. I also thank my wife Jamie for helping me along the way. Also, I am thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ has given me the abilities and health I have to enjoy life and to praise him through it. My plans for 2011 are coming together and it looks like another spring and summer of WORS and WCA road racing to build fitness. I’ll look to come into the cross season for a solid run at a top 5 USGP standings and a shot at the National CX title in Madison. It will probably mean more focused racing and preparation, but I’m hoping that doesn’t mean missing another chance at a WORS title in 2011 which would be great.”

because I love to race. Competition is something I really enjoy. My favorite races of 2010 were Treadfest and Alterra. I love to suffer on the climbs and push my technical limits in the single-track.

I’m very grateful to my family and sponsors, who have made it possible for me to race. My wife Lindsay Guerra, my father David Guerra and Mr. Tree Racing, Matt Geib and all those over at Wheel and Sprocket, Trek, and all my family who have supported us through the years. In 2011, I plan on a few Pro XCT’s including Sea Otter and Subaru Cup, the WORS series, the Triple Crown events, and road or WEMS races. I’m also managing a new team with a focus on youth development, working with local schools in prep for a Wisconsin High School MTB league. Follow along at mrtreeracing.blogspot.com”

Elite men’s fifth place - Chris Peariso - “I enjoy being

a part of the 2010 WORS series as a racer and as a team sponsor. 2011 will mark my 14th season racing Mountain Bikes and because of that I plan to mix it up a bit, pack up the bike and travel the nation in search of some great riding. My first big stop of the season will be the Cohutta 100, where I plan to better my last year finish of 2nd place! Wish me luck! After that my main goal will be a top 3 overall in the NUE 100 series and then the XC Marathon National Championships. I will plan to attend as many WORS races as possible, and support my teammates. I give thanks to Michelle for letting me continue my hobby, to bossman(Adnan Kadir) for keeping me fast as I ripen, to all the people who cheer us on at the races, and to all my teammates for making each stop memorable with all the fun antics and random blurted out, inappropriate comments! Lisa!”
