WORS Rules to race by

wisconsin off Road series 2013 rules to race by

IT IS EACH AND EVERY COMPETITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF AND TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES! Failure to do so may result in disqualification. 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 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.

16 wors 2013

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” 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 prohibitted, 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 despensers or the like must be located in a disignated 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! 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.

WISCONSIN OFF ROAD SERIES

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. 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.

CRYSTAL LAKE CLASSIC Camp Tesomas ~ Rhinelander, WI May 19th, 2013

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 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.

WISCONSIN OFF ROAD SERIES

WORS event is consistently one of the top drawing races in the series. Staged at one of the Midwest’s premier cross-country skiing areas, Nine Mile Forest, it takes full advantage of this area’s abundant single track and wide open rolling ski trails to provide mountain bikers with a two wheeled thrill ride. 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. Nine Mile, just 4 miles west of Wausau, has over 25 combined miles of wide fast rolling cross country ski trails and twisting rocky single track through the forest. The expansive trail network offers numerous options for course placement to challenge all ability levels and allows for a longer overall course with less lapping. For 2013 the fast rolling start and sprint finish will remain the same as previous years. However, additional single track will be added earlier in the lap for all categories to enjoy! 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.

Pre-riding begins at noon on Saturday. All bicycle riding at Nine Mile requires a $4 trail pass. One pass will be good for both Saturday and Sunday. There will be limited on site rough camping available Friday and Saturday, on a first-come first-serve basis, with porta-potties, water, and limited fires based on forest regulations. For other camping and lodging arrangements, please call the Wausau / Central Wisconsin Visitors Bureau at 1-888-948-4748. The Red Eye Trail Run starts the race day on Sunday, beginning at 8:30 a.m.. On-site/late registration available Saturday 3-6 PM and Sunday beginning at 7 AM. Make sure you are at Nine Mile for the The Red Eye Rendezvous!

The Excitement Keeps Growing

For a

4th ConsecutiveYear!

The Subaru Cup moved ved from Devil’s H Head ead Resort to Nordic Mountain in 2007 2007. T That summer the initial construction of the mountain bike trails took place and the first ever mountain bike race in Waushara County took place in late August. In 2010 the Subaru Cup became a part of the USA Cycling Pro XCT and the nation top cross-country racers came to Wisconsin. Each year since the excitement of top level Pro racing has returned to Nordic. If you have not already experienced the thrill and excitement of this family friendly event we invite you to join us this July. If you have participated before we are enormously happy to welcome you back.

BATTLE OF CAMROCK CamRock 3 Park ~ Rockdale, WI Sunday, June 16th, 2013

Capital

Off-Road Pathfinders has worked for years to build CamRock Park into one of the hidden gems of mountain biking in Wisconsin. CORP is a volunteer organization that builds and maintains the majority of the off-road cycling trails in Dane County. We are working diligently to make the Battle of CamRock a race that you will look forward to every year. The trail system at CamRock is a 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 single-track with a touch of roots and rocks. The Battle of CamRockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course contains some great downhill sections that will have you begging for another lap. The 2013 Course will add 1.5 miles of super fast, wide double track. The course is being revised to break up the passing sections and single track to make the race even more competitive. From Citizen to Elite, all courses contain fun singletrack, numerous feed zones, and finish with a grass

double-track climb before sprinting through the EXPO Area to the finish. The parking area for the Battle at CamRock is a large field just North of the CamRock 3 Parking Lot. This field can hold most of the vehicles for this event. Additional parking is available along Koshkonong Road near the EXPO area or in the CamRock 2 Camping area. We will have a free air conditioned shuttle bus running between all parking areas and CamRock Cafe and Sport in Cambridge.

RED FLINT FIRECRACKER Eau Claire County Expo Center — Eau Claire, WI June 30th, 2013

It’s

hard to believe, but this will be the 9th Annual Red Flint Firecracker hosted by the Chippewa Off Road Bike Association (CORBA). The Firecracker has become known for fabulous trails and a family friendly venue. The Eau Claire County Expo Center allows us to offer onsite camping both Friday and Saturday nights so that you can sit back and enjoy your weekend. All race proceeds go directly to trail building throughout the Chippewa Valley. Are you also a runner? Add a little more to your weekend by signing up for the Firecracker Trail Run and choose between a 5K or 10K race through the singletrack. Racers can plan on finding the course ready to pre-ride on Friday afternoon. Pre-riding will allow you to test your cornering skills, wind your way through the pines and catch air on our new trails. Our goal is to provide you great trails AND an incredible weekend of bikes and camaraderie. Saturday, June 29th will be filled with course pre-rides, our popular All-You-Can-Eat pasta feed (a fund raiser for McDonnell High cross country team) and hanging out by the bonfire. You may even want to top the evening off with a night ride!

Start your race day with an amazing All-You-Can-Eat breakfast (fundraiser) that will be sure to fuel you up. Once you’ve completed your race, relax at the Racer Lounge and enjoy the shade, free snacks and water. And don’t forget, we will have great swag for all registered racers!!!! As always the course will be very spectator friendly with plenty of elevated viewing areas. We will also have concessions for sale. Not racing? We are always in need of volunteers, who also receive a swag bag PLUS a tshirt! Please be s u r e to watch the CORBA message board and our Facebook page for course updates and race enhancements that are still being worked on. We guarantee you will not be disappointed!

SUNBURST SHOWDOWN Sunburst Ski Area— Kewaskum, WI Aaugust 4th, 2013

unburst Ski Area and Attitude Racing are looking forward to hosting WORS racers for this July event with great riding and racing on the trails at Sunburst. Through the years WORS racers have seen the race and the area evolve. Sunburst Ski and Recreation Area is already home to the best winter skiing, snowboarding, and tubing in Southern Wisconsin and is always getting better. Set in the heart of the Kettle Moraine, the Sunburst race course offers climbing and descending like no other course in WORS. Parts of the track present road race like speed, while others challenge competitors with tight twisting sections of wooded and rocky technical singletrack. A spectator’s dream, the Sunburst venue is wide open. Racers start and finish in a central area and serpentine their way up, down, across and around the slopes of Sunburst with a large portion of the course visible from the aforementioned central area. The speed of this course tends to keep the racing tight. Race director, Dave Haase and his staff of friends,

Come August 3rd and 4th, WORS racers will be able to put the terrain of Sunburst to full utilization. Dave and company have put in their order for a dry sunny weekend. The Sunburst Ski Patrol and Sunburst Ski Area will assist on this wild ride to make the Sunburst Showdown a classic mountain bike race. Don’t miss out on all of this WORS style fun.

REFORESTATION RAMBLE In Honor of Rob Schuette

Reforestation Camp ~ Suamico, WI Sunday, August 25th, 2013

With

over 1600 acres of forest land at the Brown County Reforestation Camp....there is plenty of room for the marathon format of racing to continue to flourish in Suamico, WI at the Reforestation Ramble. WORS continues to offer a variety of different courses to keep the racing fresh, the Ramble is definitely a bit different than the rest with longer laps containing a nice mix of single track, double track.....and the energy zapping rolling hills that have become a must have feature of the Reforestation Ramble. The laps are fast, the single track flows, the double track is wide open.....the speed trap will be in full effect and pack racing may just be the ticket.....if you can hold on to the wheel in front of you? The sandy based soil holds up well no matter what the weather, so fast fun racing is a guarantee when you take the start line at the Reforestation Ramble. The late August date serves as a nice warm-up for the Chequamegon 40, which takes place just a few weeks after the Ramble. So come on out to the Reforestation Ramble for one last tune up for the 40 or to simply push yourself like never before! 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. Citizen Youth take off at 9:30 a.m., Citizen at 10

a.m., all other classes roll off the line at 11:30 a.m.! Although Sunday is race day, be sure to stop out Saturday for pre-riding, the Vendor/Exhibitor Zone, and Learn to Race clinics. Pre-riding will begin at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Like most state and county trails, a trails/rider fee is required and will be collected at registration, with two day deals available. Plenty of lodging is conveniently located on either of the major highways, 43 or 41. Rough camping will be available close by at a nominal fee. Racers are being asked to bring a new book to donate to the Give a Kid a Book Campaign, a Green Bay area non-profit created with a goal of putting new books in the hands of kids in need at Christmas time.

This

inaugural event marks what is anticipate to be a long and mutually beneficial relationship between the mountain bike riders of the Midwest and one of Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier ski area, Cascade Mountain. A first for WORS in many ways, the Cascade XC for Kids is a fund raiser in support of the recently established WIN (WORS Interscholastic) Cycling, a not for profit organization devoted to the mission of the establishment of school-based mountain bike clubs in communities throughout Wisconsin. WIN is a resource for leadership, coaching, training, volunteer, fund raising and development programs, including the organization and administration of a scholastic race series to kick off with the 2014 school year. A test event for WIN Cycling is in the works for Saturday morning at the Cascade XC. So, there is a lot of work to be done. WORS will need your help with the estimate 1000 man hours of work necessary to construction trails at Cascade and WIN Cycling will need many volunteers and a lot of support to accomplish its mission and for the Cascade XC to raise much of the necessary funding to do so. To join in the trail efforts, please email Don at don@ wors.org to be put on the work notification email list. To become involved with WIN Cycling visit the WIN Cycling facebook page or tab at wors.org. We hope that you will come out and join in the support of this great cause. We encourage you to start a scholastic mountain bike club/team in your town. Please join us for the Cascade XC for Kids! We promise a unique experience that will leave you wanting to spend a lot more time riding and racing the trails of Cascade Mountain.

MOUNTAIN BIKE CHALLENGE Quarryview & Evergreen Parks ~ Sheboygan, WI Sunday, October 6th, 2013

The

Traditional finale of WORS, the Wigwam Mountain Bike Challenge, continues to be staged at Sheboygan’s Jaycees’ Quarryview and Evergreen Parks. This venue allows for the conveniences of a city, with ample dining choices, showers, real bathrooms, and plenty of parking, while allowing competitors to feel as though they are in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The course is mostly single and double track. One moment you will be concentrating on a tight singletrack in the midst of pine woods and then suddenly you will enter a spectator vantage-point where friendly cheers will pump up your adrenaline and push you forward. Sand, gravel, asphalt, mud, grass, pine needles, roots, and the famous “Sheboygan Slickrock”, this course has a bit of everything. There is one steep downhill and one very steep climb, the “Equalizer”. All riders will find a fun and challenging course awaiting them in Sheboygan. Spectators will enjoy the incredible viewing areas all around the course, so bring your camera and get a shot of your favorite racers. The Wigwam Mountain Bike Challenge is once again expected

to bring an exceptional field to this, the closing venue on the WORS circuit. The Wigwam MTB Challenge has great race viewing, concessions, and how can you top the BEST name in socks?! You do not want to miss this event! Come on Saturday for the pre-ride from 12 noon to 7 pm. There is no on-site camping, but motels in the area include: Comfort Inn (800-228-5150), Baymont Inn (800-428-3438), AmericInn (800-634-3444), and Holiday Inn Express (800-465-4329).
