This is the mountain bike racing episode. Although the “Do the Rock” MTB race at Rock Cut State Park was rained out…twice…we still pulled off a good show. First are some tips from the IMBA on how mountain bike racers can help the public image of mountain biking and improve trail access for the future. Next is an overview of the Wisconsin Off-Road Series (WORS). Then is an interview with the Kegel’s Bikes/Bad Ass Coffee Racing Team chatting about their participation in the WORS series. The Trail-Logue features helmet cam footage from the 2005 Rock Cut Race provided by John Wrycza. Thanks John. He also provided the footage from the WORS Cup race.
