PCW Cyclocross Race:
A Wrapup from the Promoter

Well, that put the cap onto the year of cyclocross racing in Wisconsin. I wanted to congratulate all the riders in their accomplishments for the year along with the day’s event. C Men - Jack Hirt, Casy Masterson and Damon Rinard lead the field in for the Bike n Ski awards. Jr's had the Brothers Brandt 1 & 2 with Matt taking the battle and Kip Spaude on their wheel for 3rd. C Women had the home town girl Anner Hildebrand lead in Katie Studdendick and Brittany Nigh. B Men started the money fight, and the Brazen Dropout rider Mark Harm took the win with Brian Halusan (Alan) and Matt Brandt in tow. 40+ - Dag Selander (Alan), Ken Hines (Cannonade Midwest) followed by Geoff Feneloh did battle to the end. Now A-Women had Rebecca Cleveland (Bike Hub) continue her strong showing by winning A women, and calling this class "A" women was fitting today. Need to get a few more ladies to move up and fight for the cash, and take note, Rebecca took out some aggression in the A – Men’s event too… Last race of the day, Brian Matter continued the PCW winning % by taking the day’s event; cyclocross specialist Andrew Hargarten (Hampshire) took 2nd, and local rider Mike (Kooch) Spiro, riding his 1988 Bridgestone winter beater that has more rust than iron on it, took 3rd. 30+ had a strong running field with Paul Roltgell (Brazen Dropouts) with teammate Scott Topel 2nd and Bruce Breitrick taking 3rd.

I would like to thank everyone for coming to race and helping PCW Cycling send two riders to Portland for the National Championship. I would also like to thank: Andrew Hargarten and Yellow Jersey for the use of the barriers, the City of Sheboygan Falls and the City Council that approved a race event, USAC and WCA officials and staff for their support during the day, my trusty crew of PCW and the Fat Kats—without you guys, we would never be able to rip 4 races out a year, and the Sheboygan Falls Jaycees for the great support and food.

Now the big thanks goes out to all the riders that donated to the rider fund. Noteworthy were the key donations from the 30+ guys and the USCF officials. Without your generosity the race would not have been able to support our goal of sending our two riders to the event on December 5th. Keep on top of your funding support by checking PCWCYCLING.ORG. If the year’s results continue, we should be able to pop a top placing.

Thank you all and see you in 2005.
