1st Place – 2008 Wolf River Rondezvous Comp 30-34

Posted by joel on September 29, 2008

Logan, Beth, Ben Koenig and I drove over to Shawano to Area 47 for the Wolf River Rondezvous. This race really felt like the first race of fall as the temperatures were in the low to mid 60′s. I hadn’t been doing a whole lot of training as I’ve had a new client in Mosinee I’d been working w/ most of the week. I felt pretty good going into the race and got “called up to the line” for the 2nd time this year which was pretty cool!

This year is the first time for this particular WORS event and one could tell by the newly cut single track. One of the key points of interest on the course is a culvert that we had to ride through. It is about 6 feet high and 3 three feet wide! Being clausterphobic would be a big disadvantage.

This happened to be the first time Logan did the child race. He ended up finishing 4th overall and got a medal.

I ended up riding with Douglas Pietz (on a single speed) from FDLCyclery for a good part of the race, similar to Rhinelander. I ended up placing 2nd overall behind Joe Curtes who beat me by over a minute.

Here are the overall [results].
