Smokin Spoke treats riders to tough new singletrack
The masses await the start of the 2007 Smokin Spoke WORS Marathon on Aug. 26.
Dusty and bumpy might best describe the Smokin Spoke WORS Marathon course at Camp Tesomas near Rhinelander on Sunday.
About 40 percent of the 10-mile loop was mogul-like singletrack. After three trips through the course, this rider was bruised but not beaten. Flats, cramps and crashes took out many of my fellow racers, but I bided my time and stayed upright.
This was the third and final race in the inaugural WORS marathon series (although three regular WORS races have yet to take place) and by all accounts it was the toughest.
Here are a handful of the other finishers of the 30- and 40-mile races.
