The weather was near perfect for the WORS race on Rib Mtn.  in Wausau WI on the fourth of June. This race had a little of everything for everybody. There were wide open sections of flats that you could really hammer on, and there were also very technical sections with numerous roots, rocks, & tight and sharp turns between the trees. This race also had one of the most important things a race could have.. you guessed it... Drivers Club member Brian Rummelhart. This was Brian's first WORS race of the season, though it was actually the third race in the WORS series. Brian finished well. He placed 1st among  all other Drivers Club Members, and 14th in his age group against other WORS racers. Keep up the good work Rev Rum.

Once again, the weather was near perfect for the WORS race in Kewaunee, WI on the eighteenth  of June. Well, it was perfect  if you were a bird trying to find a worm for lunch. The abundance of rain forced all those little wormies right up out of the ground that they were happy squirming in. All that rain also made for quite a bit of mud, some mud, and then on top of that, a bit more    mud. Much of the single-track was cut out of this race due to the slick conditions. Much of what was left to race on would not     normally be considered difficult. But this time, it was like racing on ice. Just going straight ahead was a challenge. Bikes were       swerving, sliding, and stopping due to all the mud build up on the brakes and derailleurs. Just finishing this race was a victory for  anybody involved. For D.C. member Brian Rummelhart, this was a 'have your cake, and eat it too' event. Rumme once again      finished 1st among all D.C. members at the race. He also finished 10th among all in his age group. Good job Rev Rum. Keep on keeping on.                                                                                                                                                                               

This was the second year for the WORS race in Eau Claire, but the first time Rev. Rum (and Mrs. Rev. Rum) had been there to  race. Yes,  D.C. member Brian Rummelhart sent his wife Jodi out in the race just before his, so he could get the low down on     the course from her. He waited, and waited for her to return with the scoop. But alas, she was only able to finish one of two laps due to mechanical failure. So he went on his way into a race that was full of singletrack, a couple of water crossings, multiple log  jumps, and just a bit of fast double track. The conditions were dry, so this race proved to be fast. Rev. Rum was even able to     muster up enough strength to sprint to an 11th place finish. (beating someone by .3 of a second). There were 31 people in his      age group. This was also his third 1st place finish among all other Drivers Club members this year. Rev Rum is on a roll. All         Brian could say was "Thanks a lot Josh for ruining my chances at the Tour De France. I already had a yellow hanger picked out  in my closet for my new yellow jersey. My dreams have come crashing down as if someone cut my arm with a cardboard           novelty finger."

WORS Phillips Dirtfighter Classic, in Phillips, WI

Nice, dry conditions for the MTB. race in Phillips, WI for the Rev., and Mrs. Rum. Yes, once again Mrs. Rum showed the Rev. how it's done. She not only  posted a P.R. this year by just  finishing a race, but she also managed a podium finish. 3rd in her age group, to be exact. The Rev thought he was having a good day by finishing 7th in his age group, out of 22. This was the best finish for him this year also. "I'll catch up to her one of these races,......granted, I did 3 laps in about the same time she did 2, but she got the bronze medal. I didn't. She beat me fair and square."

THIRD PLACE
