On behalf of Subaru, and all of our other great sponsors, we welcome you to join in the great events that combine to make this twenty-first year of the Wisconsin Off Road Series. Our mission for 2012 remains the same, to create the ultimate environment for as many mountain bikers and spectators as possible to experience the joy of participation in safe, fun and friendly competition. The benefits that WORS brings to those already enjoying the mountain bike experience, those that have yet to experience it and the Wisconsin

communities that host our events is great source of pride for us. We have subtitled WORS 2012 as The Year of the Junior and encourage all to join with us in introducing young riders to mountain biking as a lifetime activity and nurturing the growth of those already racing and riding. WORS has and will continue to take steps to facilitate the expansion of opportunities for junior racers. We know that the great family atmosphere that the participants of WORS have created is an excellent setting for positive youth development, as it allows kids to have fun while learning all of the great life lessons that participation in competitive cycling has to offer. Each year under the direction of our hard working race directors, WORS events look to improve upon their past accomplishments. There will be a couple of schedule changes in 2012 as we look to offer the best mix of events possible. Perennial favorites, the Iola Bump and Jump, Crystal Lake Classic and Trek Big Ring Classic start the year. Last year’s well received newcomer, the Battle of CamRock moves to June followed by the always fun Red Flint Firecracker (previously titled the Chippewa Valley Firecracker). July’s WORS racing begins with the long-running Alterra Coffee Bean Classic followed by the return of the Sunburst Showdown. The Subaru Cup moves to August for 2012 looking to capitalize on Olympic fever. This event promises to be as exciting as ever with WORS hosting North America’s top pros for the finale of the USA Cycling Pro XCT on one of the nation’s best courses for racers and spectators alike. Next, the Reforestation Ramble will again allow WORS racers the joys of its faster/longer course format. The series will close out in similar fashion to last year as we go from the resort setting of Treadfest to the backwoods of the Bear Paw Rock & Roll to the urban excitement of the Wigwam Mountain Bike Challenge. As always, we welcome your questions and input regarding all things WORS. Please check our website, www.wors.org for all of the latest series news. From there you will find links to additional media outlets. For all of the most current updates be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. For WORS news delivered right to your inbox, don’t forget to sign up for periodic email updates. And for more visual enjoyment, you will find a plethora of great photos and videos from past WORS events on Flikr. We are extremely thankful to the great many who have contributed to our longevity and success. As WORS begins its third decade our hope is that we can look forward to making the relationships we have established over the past twenty years even stronger. We commend the WORS racers for their commitment to the series and for their dedication, efforts, and accomplishments. Thank you also to the families and friends who support WORS participants and to the fans who cheer the racers on. We encourage WORS riders to give back to mountain biking in some way. Mentoring new riders, doing trail work or volunteering at an event can promote the sport and enrich your life as well. We also hope that you will find an opportunity to express your appreciation to our sponsors and all of those who make WORS events possible.

See you on the start line,

Welcome to the WoRS 2012!

Citizen race.)**Clydesdale class is for male racers weighing an absolute minimum of 200 pounds. All Clydesdale competitors must weigh in at race registration. Anyone weighing in at less than 210# must reweigh dressed in just bike shorts, socks and a t-shirt.

WORS (Series) REGISTRATION

Racers wishing to receive an overall in WORS or participate in WORS team competition must register with WORS. Series registration may be either completed online at www.wors.org by April 15, 2012 or by downloading a form from the website or using the one from the 2012 WORS Racer Handbook and mailing it with the appropriate registration fee to WORS, postmarked no later than April 4, 2012. These deadlines are to allow for number assignment

and notification in time for racers to register for the first WORS event of the year using their number. Series registrations after April 15th should take place at the WORS tent onsite at a WORS event. A racer must have a series number for a result to count toward a series overall, WORS team competition, or to pre-register for all but the first race they wish to have counted in their series overall score. Points for series overalls will be figured retroactively for up to three races for first time Citizen registrants, but only one race for all others! (To receive retroactive credit a competitor must write that they are requesting retroactive credit along with their number from the race(s) for which they are requesting retroactive credit on their series registration form).

WORS will inform those registering by April 15th of their series number by e-mail and will begin assigning numbers on April 1st (specific number requests will not be given priority after March 31st). Those registering

after April 15th will receive their number assignment at the WORS tent at their first event.

A racer may not compete in Sport with a Citizen number and vice versa! WORS timing system

will not accept an incorrect number and your data will fail to appear on the

results.

LOST OR FORGOTTEN NUMBER PLATES: Replacement numbers are available at the WORS tent at a cost of $5 for a new series number plate (plastic) or $1 for a temporary number plate. Back number replacements are 50 cents each.

CHANGING CATEGORIES

UPGRADING: Racers upgrading during the series will pay a $5 administrative fee and have two options: 1) A racer may turn in their series number plate at the WORS tent to have a percentage of their accumulated points transferred to the new category (70% for a one

For Citizen and Sport a competitor’s best 7 results will be used

for tabulation of their final overall points. In the Comp, Cat 1, and Pro categories the

best 8 results will be used. A competitor who competes in

more than 7 events (8 for Comp, Cat 1, and Pro) will be awarded 5 bonus points per additional event completed (maximum of 30 points). DNF’s will remain 1 point. There are thirteen scoring opportunities over twelve races.In case of a tie, head-to-head results will be used to determine placing (first wins and then points if tie remains). If a tie still remains, a tie will be declared and both racers will receive equal awards, with the next place being dropped.

SPECIAL SCORING FOR THE SUbARU CUP: Participation in multiple events at the Subaru Cup offers two scoring opportunities toward a racer’s overall. 1) Each series racer competing in the cross-country

will receive series overall points based on their placement against only other series racers within the class they are competing in. Subaru Cup categories & classes may vary. Participation in the Subaru Cup Legacy Cross-Country is required to be eligible for a second overall score. 2)The second scoring opportunity at the Subaru Cup comes from a series racer’s participation in either the Super D or the Short Track. Series points will be awarded for a racer’s placing amongst racers from their WORS category within the Subaru Cup Short Track or Super D age class (not normal WORS class) raced.

VOLUNTEER POINTS: Series competitors who forfeit participation in a race to help run the event may qualify for volunteer points. To receive these points, a point total equal to a racers lowest scoring race excluding DNF’s, a racer must: 1) contact the race director at least 8 days in advance of the race to apply for acceptance to the race staff, 2) work a minimum of 5 hours on race day, and 3) pick up a

VP (volunteer points) form from the WORS tent, fill it out, have their Race Director sign it and turn it in to WORS Timing & Scoring. A series competitor may include only one VP in their overall results. The VP will either replace a competitor’s lowest scoring event with a point value equal to the second lowest score or one equal to their lowest score depending upon the number of scoring events they have in their overall score.

POINTS: Points awarded at each individual WORS race toward series overall scores for Comp, Cat 1, and Pro overalls, as well as places within each age class for all categories, are listed in the WORS Series (Overall) Point Scale table on the next page. Points awarded for Cat 1 age classes are awarded by combining overall finish points with age class finish points.* Also requires a USA Cycling Annual Mountain Bike License and Wisconsin residency.

Ê Only registered racers may compete in a WORS event. An official WORS race number plate and back number with age class clearly marked must be displayed by each racer. No competitor shall cut, fold, mutilate, apply stickers to or alter in any way their WORS number plate. Numbers are not transferable.

Ê All competitors must wear a properly secured helmet, complying to DOT or CPSC Standards at all times during competition as well as when pre-riding or warming up on the course. Competitors must wear proper riding attire, including a shirt, shorts, and fully-enclosed shoes during competition.

Ê Each competitor is responsible for having their bike in good operating condition, including but not limited to: two fully-functioning brakes, plugged handlebar ends, NO hazardous attachments including kickstands and reflectors, adjusted hubs and headset, true wheels, and a sound frame (no cracks, severe bends or dents). Race and/or WORS officials may remove any racer from the start whom they feel is attempting to compete on an unsafe bike. Racers must start with and ride the same bike throughout any single event.

Ê Personal listening devices which may interfere with a racer’s awareness of other racers and their surroundings are strictly prohibited on the race course.

Ê All Competitors must be self sufficient. All repairs during a race must be performed by the individual racers. Tools and spare parts used in a repair must be carried by the racer. No off-course assistance is allowed and racers may not “cannibalize” or accept any parts off anyone else’s bike during a race.

Ê Deviation from the marked course will result in disqualification unless the competitor reenters the course at point of exit. This includes ducking under any flagging marking the boundaries of the finish chute. A competitor that purposely leaves the marked course during competition is deemed to have retired from the race and will be scored as a DQ or DNF.

Ê Feeding and/or “hand-ups” to a racer

from a support person may occur on any part of the course with the following stipulations: 1) all those feeding must stand to the right just off course, 2) running with a racer is prohibitted, 3) feeding must not interfere with another competitor. This is an override of USA Cycling Mountain rules and is in effect throughout WORS.

Ê Self feed bottle despensers or the like must be located in a disignated feed zone near the start of the lap.

Ê Any competitor littering the course with a gel packet, food wrappers or other waste will be disqualified!

Ê A competitor on their bike has the right-of-way over one pushing their bike. Whenever a competitor is off their bike, they need to make every effort to allow access to the fastest/most rideable part of the track to racers on their bikes.

Ê Lapped racers must yield the track immediately. A lapped racer by definition is one from the same starting wave as the overtaking racer. Other racers being overtaken should make every effort to let faster riders by as soon as the course allows.

Ê It is the responsibility of an overtaking rider to pass safely. No racer is expected to stop their race to allow other racers to pass. However, no rider shall intentionally impede the progress of another. A rider should make his/her presence known when overtaking a slower rider (i.e. “On your left. Please!”). Especially in singletrack, await return communication from the rider being overtaken that it is safe to pass. A rider passing another is expected to do so in a manner which requires the least accommodation from the rider being passed.

Ê The use of profanity or flagrant discourtesy directed at another competitor, race worker, or spectator is grounds for disqualification from an individual event, first offense, and WORS upon the second offense!

Ê Mountain biking is an individual sport, and even though WORS does have a team competition, entering into agreements

or forming alliances (monetary or otherwise) to control or alter the results of a race will result in disqualification from that individual event.

Ê Pre-riding the race course after the start of the first race of the day is prohibited! On race day the only individuals riding bicycles on the race course should be those entered in the category(ies) competing at the time. Interference with another’s race by doing so is grounds for disqualification, (i.e. an Elite racer riding on the race course during the Sport race in such a way as to cause alteration of results or put Sport racers in danger).

Ê A race may be halted or rerouted by the race director or emergency personnel in case of severe injury to a rider or life threatening weather. Racers failing to heed the instruction of medical personal and/or course marshals attending to an injured rider will be disqualified!

Ê Protests of the results, the conduct of a racer, or any other matters related to the race, may only be filed by a competitor in the event or a race official. Protests must be reported to or filed with a timing official within 10 minutes of the completion of an event, initial posting of results in question, or a ruling to be considered valid. All results become final as of the presentation of awards.

Ê The sale of merchandise or display of products for promotional purposes at WORS events without the permission of WORS and the individual event director is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to banners, tents, and anything not permanently attached to a vehicle that a competitor has driven to an event.

Ê IGNORANCe Of The RULeS IS NeVeR AN AdmISSIBLe defeNSe! Read and know the rules.

WORS races are sanctioned by USA Cycling. USA Cycling rules not covered here may also apply.

final interpretation the Rules is up to the event director, WORS and/or USA Cycling representatives on hand.

Divisions• Unlimited Team: Teams with more than 20 members compete in this division. (Registration fee: $55).

• Large Team: 13-19 racers . (Registration fee $45).

• Mid-Sized Team: 7-12 racers. (Registration fee: $35).

• Small Team Division: 2-6 Racers. (Registration fee: $25).

• Junior: Teams in this division will be made up of registered WORS racers 18 years of age (as of 12-31-12) and under. Team rosters for this division are limited to 10 or fewer racers and are encouraged to include 20% female racers. Multiple teams from the same shop, sponsor, etc. are strongly encouraged. (Registration fee: $20).

Only racers registered with WORS and having a WORS Series Number will score points for their team. A Team Competition

Registration Form (along with team roster) must be turned into WORS and have each competitor’s WORS series number and name on the roster.A registered WORS racer may only ride for one team. (This includes junior team members.) A team may enter one or more teams in the Junior Division, but only one team in any of the other divisions.

Team Changes: Competitors who change teams during the series should notify WORS as soon as possible after the change via a team modification form. The team points they have earned prior to notification will remain with their previous team. Team points cannot be contributed to their new team until 2012.

RegistrationTeams must register by July 15th.

However, teams have through the sixth race to make additions to their rosters. Team points will be awarded retroactively through the date each team member began racing with a WORS series number. Team members who change categories during the season and reregister with WORS will receive credit for both categories.

Pick up a team registration form from the WORS tent at a race or on the website at www.wors.org. Turn it in to WORS by July 15th, 2012. Team scores are figured retroactively back to the first race for which each team member had a 2012 WORS series number.

Team ScoringParticipants: To receive credit toward the “Participants” awards in WORS Team Competition a competitor must have a valid WORS series number and must either finish the race with a recorded time or report their DNF to timing the day of the race. Teams receive one point for each team member, meeting the above criteria, towards the “Participants” competition. Points: Points for the “Points” competition of WORS Team Competition are figured by taking the series overall points each team member earns (see WORS Guidelines, WORS Scoring) and multiplying those points by the class multiplier. No points are earned for DNFs or DNS’s.

Only racers listed on the team roster that accompanied their team registration form will be scored.

The Iola Winter Sports Club’s mission is to carry on a ski jumping tradition, provide low cost youth and family ski programs, and provide high quality cross-country skiing for its members. Proceeds from the Iola Bump and Jump help the club continue to improve the facility. Race director, Phil Johnsrud and the Iola Winter Sports Club want to make this event the best it can be.

WISCONSIN OFF ROAD SERIES sponsored by

The Iola Bump and Jump race course evolves a little each year based on racer input, rider and spectator

safety, and the condition of individual sections of the track. However, the overall character that makes this course a favorite of many remains constant. The start loop that takes racers up and around the back side of Iola’s 40 & 60 meter ski jumps and then drops back down past the lodge into the jump bowl may be the best lead-out in all of WORS. In addition, several minor singletrack modifications have been made to improve the racing experience for all. For the youngest novice racers, the Hayes Disc Brakes Kid’s Race course provides an opportunity for them to expand their skills.

With the start and finish areas near the ski jumping bowl, the Bump and Jump offers spectators many fantastic opportunities to view their favorite riders. A post-race spaghetti dinner will be provided free of charge to all racers by the Iola Winter Sports Club, with other concessions available in the ski chalet. Onsite rough camping will be available for $10 per car first-come,first-serve. Nearby Iola Pines Campground provides full facilities, but fills up fast (see ad below for contact info). For more details and race registration information, please contact race co-director Jon Novak at 715-445-2411 ext.214 (day), 715-445-4744 (eve), or [email protected].

- A Community & Conservation Partner -

As the nation’s largest private landowner, Plum Creek plays many roles in the communities in which we operate. In addition to being a strong business partner and employer, a timber industry leader, and an important contributor to philanthropic causes, we also play signi�cant roles in conservation e�orts, community-minded development, environmental stewardship and more in the states and communities where we do business. For more information on these and other ways we contribute, visit www.plumcreek.com.

In 1997 a Rhinelander area Fire Department with the help of several volunteers started a mountain bike

race created by Bikes-N-Boards, a premier outfitter for outdoor sports. Now run by the Boy Scouts of Samoset Council, this race will help fund the world renowned Camp Tesomas facility open since 1935 where youth from around the globe have come to enjoy the Northwood’s. Camp Tesomas (Hanna Venture Base) is located only minutes north of Rhinelander, where it’s set on the shores of Crystal Lake, a beautiful spring fed lake deserving of its name. This pristine setting is perfect for mountain biking with the lake making an excellent choice for cooling down after a hard ride through the woods.2007 marked the first year that this Mountain Bike Race was affiliated with the WORS. The race begins and ends at Camp Tesomas (Hanna Venture Base). The trail also traverses lands owned by the School District of Rhinelander, Plum Creek, Inc., and Terry Strong. We thank each of them for their cooperation in allowing this trail to exist. And a special thank you to Wayne Fish, for his dedicated hours of trail work. We are indebted to his dedication to this race. Wayne was taken from us by brain cancer and this race is now dedicated to Wayne Fish.

His dream of a premier race in the Rhinelander area will live on in his honor for years to come.The course is heavily forested, containing a mix of hardwoods and pine plantations. The soil is ideally suited for mountain biking, made up of rock, sand and clay. Rain or shine, the surface holds up well to the pounding of bike tires. The rolling terrain also creates a tough, exhilarating, yet fun bike ride.We have cabins and campsites available during the weekend. And we are one of the only races that provide every racer with shower and bike wash facilities. And don’t forget we have the state’s largest climbing tower and zip-line open for your enjoyment with boating and other activities to keep everyone in the family happy.

Capital Off-Road Pathfinders has worked for years to build CamRock Park into

one of the hidden gems of mountain biking in Wisconsin. CORP is an official chapter of IMBA. The all volunteer organization with 90+ active members and over 300 registered forum member volunteers has been working diligently to make the Battle of CamRock a race that you will look forward to every year.

The trail system at CamRock is a blend of wide and fast flowing single-track that runs through open fields of prairie grass, wooded single-track with bermed turns, and more technical single-track with a touch of roots and rocks. The Battle of CamRock’s course contains some great downhill sections that will have you begging for another lap.

From Citizen to Elite, all courses contain fun single-track, numerous feed zones. We have made modifications to last years courses to allow the finish to provide a high speed passing zone before a grass double-track climb, and final sprint through the EXPO Area to the finish. Full course maps and Google Earth KMS files will be available

Ors race NO.6

A burning climb right from the start, dizzying single track, and fast fire roads all in the urban setting of Milwaukee County.

The Alterra Mountain Bike Team proudly presents a true mountain bike race. Welcome to the Alterra Coffee Bean Classic.

A challenging five to six-mile lap snakes its way up, down and around the Crystal Ridge Ski Area. Racers of all levels get the chance to experience a little of everything, including “The Wall” climb, the “Small Intestine” single track, and the “Switchback Downhill”, that will keep you hanging on all the way to the end. This venue puts friends and family in perfect position to cheer on their favorite racers all day long. Also we will again include the new Alpha Trail section. This section adds about another mile of single and double track to the lap length of the racecourse. As most of you know the Alpha Trail makes the race even more exciting. We’re always trying to add new elements to increase the overall challenge of the course.

Alterra Coffee Roasters will once again have its coffee bar open to pour the free, locally roasted coffee, wheth-er your preference is hot or cold. Also, our other sponsor,

Lakefront Brewery, will have ice-cold beers on tap.

The Alterra Moun-tain Bike Team is a grassroots team fo-cused on riding hard at every level, leaving ev-ery last drop of energy on the trail, and most of all having fun and supporting our fellow riders. And that mis-sion carries through ev-ery element of the Cof-fee Bean Classic. We ride mountain bikes because it’s challeng-ing and fun, and that’s exactly what you’ll get on race day.

Visit us at the Alterra Mountain Bike Team facebook page.Please note: Any changes to the course and course condition updates,

will be posted at Alterra Mountain Bike Team facebook page, and on the WORS message board and facebook page.

In case of extreme weather, the rain date for this event is Sunday, September 2nd. All pre-resitered riders will have their enty transfered. There will be no refunds.

Sunburst Ski Area and Attitude Racing are looking forward to hosting WORS racers for this July event

with great riding and racing on the trails at Sunburst. Through the years WORS racers have seen the race and the area evolve. Sunburst Ski and Recreation Area is already home to the best winter skiing, snowboarding, and tubing in Southern Wisconsin and is always getting better. Set in the heart of the Kettle Moraine, the Sunburst race course offers climbing and descending like no other course in WORS. Parts of the track present road race like speed, while others challenge competitors with tight twisting sections of wooded and rocky technical singletrack. A spectator’s dream, the Sunburst venue is wide open. Racers start and finish in a central area and serpentine their way up, down, across and around the slopes of Sunburst with a large portion of the course visible from the aforementioned central area. The speed of this course tends to keep the racing tight. Race director, Dave Haase and his staff of friends,

teammates, the Sunburst Ski Patrol, and other volunteers are always hard at work on improvements for the Showdown. Come July 21st and 22nd, WORS racers will be able to put the terrain of Sunburst to full utilization. Dave and company have put in their order for a dry sunny weekend. The Sunburst Ski Patrol and Sunburst Ski Area will assist on this wild ride to make the Sunburst Showdown a classic mountain bike race. Don’t miss out on all of this WORS style fun. Rough on-site camping is available a short distance from all the action and the Ski Patrol has a dinner in the works for Saturday evening.

“The Bear Paw Rock and Roll”. An appropriate name for this course, as it combines

rough challenging single track that rolls and weaves around and over boulders, roots, and logs with fast hard double track and a couple of good climbs. This mix of beautiful Northwoods Forest trails ensures good speed and plenty of passing room.

The Bear Paw course features Hiekenen’s Hell, the highest hill on the course; the Boy Scout Switchbacks, nice downhill switchbacks with banked turns; Dewberry which challenges racers with two short steep climbs and then some weaving between boulders; the Flat Tire Rock Trail, the name says it all and finally the Balance Rock Trail, a curvy rock garden wear you’ll want to keep your eyes open for the huge balance rock.

The Bear Paw Adventure Resort has been around for 15 years and specializes in Outdoor Recreation, especially whitewater kayaking and Mountain Biking.

Sand, gravel, asphalt, mud, grass, pine needles, roots, and the famous “Sheboygan Slickrock”, this course has a bit of everything. There is one steep downhill and one very steep climb, the “Equalizer”. All riders will find a fun and challenging course awaiting them in Sheboygan.
