Bill and Dallas along with many other brave souls dared to dawn their spandex and hit the trails what may be the hottest race of the year. I'm not talking attractive hottness either, temperatures for the race were well above 90 and the faces of many racers were anything but pleasant.
Despite the heat the fact remains in my opinion that the trail system on which the Chippewa Valley Firecracker are held on have quickly grown into perhaps the best trail system in Wisconsin, while other may disagree the trails chosen are technical, fast and selective. Each year racers look forward to the Chippewa Valley course after the grumbling has subdued over the long drive to get there, I'm sure I'm not alone when I wish this course could be uplifted and moved to, ooooohhh, the kettles for some season long enjoyment on a budget.
The race seemed to fair pretty well for the two Midwest Regional Teammates in attendance at the recent WORS race. Bill placed 25th in the Cat 2 (Comp) field and Dallas placed 22nd in the Cat 1/Pro (Elite) field, the heat and hydration matters played their unique rolls for each individual's race, however; both survived to compete again if a few weeks at WORS #6 in Franklin WI
