12 Hours of Stump......and Bill Peters!

That time of the year when a few of us like to ride our bikes for longer periods of time at the Camp.....the Stump Farm 12. The Stadium Bike Team had a handful of riders up there getting after it, while the majority of us did 3 hours, a few did 6 hours, and then Bill went for 12! I talked to Bill early in the week and he was ready and committed to doing the full 12 hours and going for 100 miles? The top picture is Bill after his second lap, big smile and still feeling great!


Fast forward to lap number 11 for Bill, is that a smile or a ............. get me the hell off this bike look! Bill, you were awesome out there, be proud of yourself, 9.1 miles per lap times 11 laps......equals 100 in my book!!!!! Very nice job!

The rest of us: myself, Warren, Mike Giesen, Joel Stewart, Rob Livingston and Dale Crocker....I think that is everyone? Also a big thank you to the Performa crew, Paul and Brandon rode in with Bill on his last lap....that was cool! If you have not been to a lot races this year, the Performa team from Green Bay is a few of the former Bellin riders.......we have a great relationship with them and Saturday was a great example of that.....those two riding in with Bill was what we are all out there for......thanks guys!

Off to Rhinelander next weekend, a great course and venue, hope to see a few more of our team riders out there as the season winds down.....good camping and good pasta.....oh and great trails and race course :)

See you out there!

24-9

Little look into the transition area in the first part of the night laps, we had a handful of team riders out for a 24 hour stroll in the woods!


Lanser, Schindel, and Livingston enjoying a little pasta, Hockers was out on the course at the time....the big fellas rocked the Clydes and brought home the WIN! Nice work men!


The blur of the lights, only at the 24-9, if you have never done this.....you need to try it once....careful though.....you are likely to come back a few more times.


Giesen and myself, along with jersey designer Noah Kellermann made the trip over to spectate for a while and then ride a little. Here we have Giesen about to break into a 3 hour track stand....simply amazing!


Also out there from the team, Joel Hynes went solo for an 8th place finish and Zack Geyer teamed up with Mitch Gantz and a couple of Baraboo Sharks for the Junior National Championship. Andy Edens also brought a posse from the Milwaukee area for 24 hours of fun....hope I did not miss anyone. Great job all and see you all in Kewauskum!

Let's see how many we can get down there, our numbers have been very low for race attendence, kind of dissapointing! So time for you all to get out to the race and show the numbers we have on this team....see you at the Sunburst!
