GOOD ENOUGH...

Making power is easy.

Making power with the right feel, that was our challenge. We did this by creating an all new system.

Dominion’s master cylinder is factory tuned for the shortest dead stroke possible and a crisp bite point.

The Dominion A4 caliper utilizes four pistons in the most structurally rigid design. It features a cold-forged caliper and KingPin structural pad retention bolt.

With a motorsports inspired Two-Stroke dual port bleed system, industry leading DOT5.1 fluid and Kevlar hose, the hydraulic system is engineered for ultimate performance and easy maintenance.

Dominion A4 features the proprietary QuickBite2 system for fast and consistent burnish, coupled with our D-Series rotor to manage the heat, with less braking noise.

WORS SERIES SCORING To be scored in WORS overalls, a competitor must have a series number and compete in a minimum of 5 series events (6 for Comp, Cat 1, and Pro) during 2019.

For Citizen and Sport a competitor’s best 7 results will be used for tabulation of their final overall points. In the Comp, Cat 1, and Pro categories the best 8 results will be used. A competitor who competes in more than 7 events (8 for Comp, Cat 1, and Pro) will be awarded 5 bonus points per additional event completed (maximum of 20 points). DNF’s will remain 1 point. There are eleven scoring opportunities over ten races.

In case of a tie, head-to-head results will be used to determine placing (first wins and then points if tie remains). If a tie still remains, a tie will be declared and both racers will receive equal awards, with the next place being dropped.

Camping is $10 for tents and $15 for campers on Friday and Saturday night (onetime fee for either or both nights).

New for 2019, we will be offering premium campsites centrally located within the race grounds for teams to set up, contact us for pricing and availability. Pre-riding the course will start at 3 pm Friday and end when the Trail Run begins.

We are happy to announce the addition of a Wisco Trail Run to the race schedule for 2019. We will be offering a 1 lap or 2 lap race that will follow the Junior/CAT 3 course. The course is roughly 4

miles, and we will have a 45 min. lap cut off for the 2 lap race. All proceeds will go to the Lukemia and Lymphoma Society, so please come out and race for a great cause!

About The Venue: We are asking everyone to follow a few simple rules to make sure we can keep this party going for years to come: Do not touch the fences, they will shock you.

Leashed Dogs Only.

Because we are concerned for the safety of all our guests and our livestock, we respectfully ask that you leave your dogs on a leash at all times. Also, please leave the cows alone and do not open any gates.

No glass bottles. Broken glass is very dangerous to cattle, and very hard to clean up.

Please keep it clean and use the trash bins we will have placed everywhere throughout the venue. We also ask that you leave your race flyers at home.

IOLA BUMP & JUMP Iola Winter Sports Area ~ Iola, WI

Sunday, May 19th, 2019

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 Bump & Jump’s Kids Race course provides an opportunity for them to expand their skills.

With the start and finish areas near the ski jumping bowl, the Bump and Jump offers spectators many fantastic opportunities to view their favorite riders. A post-race spaghetti dinner will be provided free of charge to all racers by the Iola Winter Sports Club, with other concessions available in the ski chalet. Onsite rough camping will be available for $10 per car first-come, first-serve. Nearby Iola Pines Campground provides full facilities, but fills up fast (see ad below for contact info). For more details and race registration information, please contact race director, Phil Johnsrud at 715-572-9884,

or johnsrudp@tds.net.

Sponsoring the Iola Bump and Jump is always an enjoyable experience for the Iola Winter Sports Club volunteers because of the great attitude of WORS participants. Club members volunteer year after year to work the race and to be part of the fun and excitement that WORS brings to the small friendly community of Iola. The Iola Winter Sports Club’s mission is to carry on a ski jumping tradition, provide low cost youth and family ski programs, and provide high quality cross-country skiing for its members.

Proceeds from the Iola Bump and Jump help the club continue to improve the facility. Race director, Phil Johnsrud and the Iola Winter Sports Club want to make this event the best it can be.

If there is any way for them to make this race better for you, please let them know.

BATTLE OF CAMROCK CamRock Park #3 ~ Cambridge, WI Sunday, June 2nd, 2019

Capital

Off-Road Pathfinders (CORP) has partnered with Loft & Shove to bring you the premiere WORS event of 2019. Loft & Shove is a MTB race team that is working to create the best experience possible for all in attendance.

This is not a typical WORS event; it is so much more than that and it starts with *UNIQUE RACE START TIMES*. CORP is working to build CamRock Park into one of the true gems of Wisconsin mountain biking. CORP is an IMBA-affiliated volunteer organization that builds and maintains all of the off-road cycling trails in and around Dane County. Loft & Shove is creating a race to remember. Not only will the Battle of CamRock have unique race start times, we will also have music, inflatable play areas for the kids, lots of food and large cash prizes for some of the classes depending on how generous the sponsors. We have a great race course and a separate race course just for the kids all within a festival atmosphere at beautiful CamRock County Park. Bring the family and prepare for a day of fun for all. Or come for the pre-ride and Saturday festivities and make a weekend of it with onsite camping or lodging right in town.

The trail system at CamRock is an awesome blend of wide

and fast flowing single-track that runs through open fields of prairie grass, wooded single-track with bermed turns and more technical singletrack with a touch of roots and rocks. The Battle of CamRock will be fun and challenging for all levels, Citizen to Elite, with fun single-track, great downhill, feed zones and, of course, the sprint to the finish.

A $2.00 charge issued by Dane County Parks Department will be collected from each rider on race day prior to your race. *Elite, Comp & Sport Awards begin at 3:30 pm* Like us on Facebook at facebook.com/BattleOfCamrock.

Stay up to date on all of the latest news. Or visit us at www. madcitydirt.com.

This race is consistently voted as one of top courses on the entire WORS calendar and will be exponentially better with Loft & Shove treatment!

MOUNT MORRIS CHALLENGE Nordic Mountain ~ Mt. Morris, WI Sunday, June 16th, 2019

Featuring

rolling hills, flowing singletrack and ripping downhills, WORS and the Waushara Area Mountain Bike Association (WAMBA) present the Mount Morris Challenge at the Nordic Mountain ski area. The trail work at Nordic began in spring, 2006 with shovels and rakes. WORS Director, Don Edberg and Dave Reich along with numerous other volunteers logged approximately 1000 man hours over two summers to construct the original 5 mile loop and the first WORS race on the trail was held in August of 2007.

As the trails developed, the site hosted regional championships and multiple national Pro XCT events.

With annual trail expansion, course designers can now tailor course design to each WORS category providing challenge and fun for all. WAMBA was established in 2011 to build and maintain trails in and around Waushara County. The Nordic trails

are the focus of mountain biking in the Fox Valley and WAMBA encourages the use of the trails free of charge all season long. For trail information follow us on Facebook. https://www. facebook. c o m / WausharaAreaMountainBikeAssociation/ Anyone interested in more information about recreational opportunities, lodging, dining, area attractions and upcoming events in Waushara County should visit www.wausharatourism.com or www.wausharachamber.com.

RED FLINT FIRECRACKER

Eau Claire County Expo Center — Eau Claire, WI Sunday, June 23rd, 2019

The

first Firecracker was held in 2005 and we’ve been welcoming racers every year since. CORBA remains hard at work to bring you some of the best racing in Wisconsin. We utilize this event as one of our primary fund raisers, which allows us to continue trail development on no less than TEN trail systems in the region. Your participation is a big part of making these trails happen, so thank you!

The Firecracker weekend has plenty in store for you. On Friday you can set up camp, pre-ride and then grab some delicious wood-fired pizza onsite from the Foster’s Cheese Haus Fire Truck. Saturday brings you course pre-rides, our popular All-You-Can-Eat pasta feed (a fund-raiser for McDonnell High School cross country team) and s’mores by the bonfire.

Race day kicks off with an amazing All-You-Can-Eat breakfast buffet (fundraiser) that will be sure to fuel you up.

Post-race, grab some snacks in the Racer Lounge or hit up our concession stand, available all day Sunday. We’ll also have coffee and snow cones for sale onsite Sunday. One thing we boast is “spectator-friendly” viewing areas. There are many sections of trail just a short walk from the Eau

Claire County Expo and let’s not forget about the return of the Red Flint Brew View, our on-course beer tent!

Are you a runner?

Our singletrack makes for an invigorating run.

You can choose between a 5K or 10K distance. Better yet, do the run and then the mountain bike race!

Not racing? We are always in need of volunteers, who also receive a swag bag PLUS a t-shirt! Please be sure to watch the CORBA website and our Facebook page for course updates and race enhancements that are still in progress. This Firecracker is always a blast!!

All race proceeds go directly to CORBA, a 501c3 non-profit organization.

CORBA builds and maintains the trails you are riding. A special thank you goes out to Lowes Creek County Park for their support of mountain biking and CORBA.

CORBA welcomes everyone back to Lowes Creek County Park and the trails you have been racing since 2005. The Red Flint Firecracker is packed with all of your favorites so don’t miss out on a fun-filled weekend.

We’ll start you off with the fast, hard-packed lead out with a few “whoops” along the way and then you’ll get in position for the first section of twisty pine trees. Next up you’ll want to stay on your toes for a wet creek crossing, a swoopy boardwalk, and our short, punchy climbs. Add in the spectators and our famous volunteers sprinkled throughout the course to make this a race to remember as you sprint to the finish line.

A challenging course snakes its way up, down, and around the moraines of Minooka Park.

Racers will face steep climbing and flat out speed on a mix of flowy single track with huge berm turns, technical segments and flat out stretches that will approach road bike speeds.

A mix of new and re-routed trails should increase flow and passing. Racers of all levels get the chance to experience a little of everything, including the “Bat Loop,” “Sooper Bole” and “Flat Tops” single track segments, as well as the blazing fast “Vista Cruise” single track in the prairie. This venue puts friends and family in perfect position to cheer on their favorite racers all day long.

HIXON FOREST EPIC

Hixon Forest Park— La Crosse, WI Sunday, August 4th, 2019

Hixon

Forest Epic organizers and the City of La Crosse are excited to host the 8th event in the 28th year of Wisconsin Off Road Series racing.

Hixon Forest is over 800 acres of bluffland overlooking the Mississippi River Valley in the heart of the Driftless Region--La Crosse, Wisconsin. In the early 1900s, a group of citizens including members of the Hixon family raised funds to purchase area blufflands to save them from additional quarrying and logging. Soon after deeds were exchanged, the lands were donated to the City for preservation and recreation. In modern times, the City of La Crosse Parks and Recreation Department works with local organizations to build and maintain world class trails and facilities for hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, and mountain biking.

The City of La Crosse Parks and Recreation Department’s mission is to enrich our community through stewardship of the environment and through provision of quality recreation, facilities, and fun. Bringing the WORS races to La Crosse matches the mission and puts our city on the map as a mountain bike destination. Funds

are aggressively reinvested into our trail network in an effort to always be improving on our excellent opportunities for riding.

Everyone is invited to live it up in La Crosse on Saturday for the pre-ride, then venture into our historic city and explore. Those choosing to make their bed upon the bluffs are invited to a summertime night ride on the trails and a late night pump track jam session.

The day of the event, excitement kicks off with the Hixon Forest Frolic 5K. The popular Kids Race means you better bring your children along for fun, and bring your appetite because local food trucks and craft beer vendors will be filling your plates and your pints!

New trail segments keep the course fresh for all riders while maintaining characteristic Hixon challenges with classic Driftless Region elevation.

The course is laid out with three different loops depending on the ability of the race so that everyone can have fun no matter what their ability is.

Mountain Top at The Grand G e n e v a Resort is now open all season for mountain bike riding and disc golf.

Check out their website for more information.

THC is a nonprofit bicycle group that aims to give the TREADHEAD spirit back to the roads and trails through bicycle advocacy involvement.

WORS Rules to race by IT IS EACH AND EVERY COMPETITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW AND ABIDE BY THE RULES!

Ignorance of the Rules is NEVER an acceptable defense! ÊÊ Only registered racers may compete in a WORS event. An official WORS race number plate and back number with age class clearly marked must be displayed by each racer. No competitor shall cut, fold, mutilate, apply stickers to or alter in any way their WORS number plate. Numbers are not transferable. ÊÊ All competitors must wear a properly secured helmet, complying to DOT or CPSC Standards at all times during competition as well as when pre-riding or warming up on the course.

Competitors must wear proper riding attire, including a shirt, shorts, and fully-enclosed shoes during competition. ÊÊ Each competitor is responsible for having their bike in good operating condition, including but not limited to: two fully-functioning 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 racers are required to be self-sufficient.

Meaning that should a rider encounter a mechanical problem with their bike they must be carrying any and all parts and tools needed to make a repair and complete that repair without outside assistance. A racer is who is unable to meet this rule is expected to retire from the race or complete the race with their bike in as is condition. 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 offcourse 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” to a racer from a support person may occur on any part of the course with the following stipulations: 1) all those feeding must stand to the right just off course,

2) running with a racer is prohibited, 3) feeding must not interfere with another competitor. This is an override of USA Cycling Mountain rules and is in effect throughout WORS. ÊÊ Self feed bottle dispensers or the like must be located in a designated feed zone near the start of the lap. ÊÊ Any competitor littering the course with a gel packet, food wrappers or other waste will be disqualified! If you Packed it in, Pack it out! ÊÊ A competitor on their bike has the right-ofway 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. However, no rider shall intentionally impede the progress of another. A rider should make his/her presence known when overtaking a slower rider (i.e. “On your left. Please!”). Especially in singletrack, await return communication from the rider being overtaken that it is safe to pass. A rider passing another is expected to do so in a manner which requires the least accommodation from the rider being passed. ÊÊ The use of profanity or flagrant discourtesy directed at another competitor, race worker, or spectator is grounds for disqualification from an individual event, first offense, and WORS upon the second offense! 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 another’s race by doing so is grounds for 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.

WISCONSIN OFF ROAD SERIES

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.
