Sponsorship is being allocated to every WCA club race that hosts a separate Cat 4 women's race, with funds to be used for a cash prize list for the Cat 4 women.

UW
Cycling's "Tour Baby" Cancelled from Ashley
Simon, Vice President UW Cycling Club: "Between the low
ticket sales, bad weather, and Obama at the Kohl Center, it's in
the club's best interest to cancel the event. It is very disheartening
for those that have put countless hours into the event. For those
of you that were planning on coming, I thank you for supporting
our club."
Wisco
Riders Light up Kansas City Cross Natz If you haven't
heard there is much to be proud of by way of Wisconsin riders who
represented well at Cross nationals in Kansas City over the weekend.
Marko LaLonde (Bare Knuckle Brigade) rode away with the Single Speed
race and donned the first of what is sure to be many National Championship
jerseys. Anna Young (Bop) held a healthy lead over her podium mates
in the junior women division and Diane Ostenso took the Masters
50+ women’s race. Other Wisconsinites braving the muddy, icy
course were Renee Callaway, John Ericsson, Paul Roltgen, John McNeil,
Patti Kaufman, Gordy Paulson, Samantha Schneider, and Tristan Schouten
to name a few. Good job to all!
