 Okay, we're gonna have a good time today. It's a great course. Who's ridden this course before? We've got a few people, all right. It is a lot of fun. You've been warming up on it. You've got the little chicane up here just past the start finish line, hard right onto Broadway, or left that is, left onto Broadway, left onto 11th. Down the hill, fast turn onto Georgia and back up here on 12th Street. Heidi Mingus, our chief referee, anything to add? All right, we have a truck leaving the course, and everything cleared away for you gentlemen. And we'll have a great race out here. Everybody from the PCW team raise your hand. Let's recognize our hometown team, the host club out here, BCW Cycling Hyundai. Thank you. We are all clear. Listen for the whistle. We are underway with 45 laps of our racing. All right here, and attention, riders, $10 for the leader of the next class. Which are three pieces of cylinders that actually she has to go, like you're actually out riding your bike, but you can stay in one spot and warm up. So she's getting her legs ready, kind of warming up. And then a catarina there is on what they call a stationary trainer, which the back wheel is hooked into a flywheel back there that adds resistance, and therefore giving her a little bit of simulation of what it feels like to actually have gears on and riding in the road. So they're both getting ready for a good race today and enjoy the weather here in Sheboygan as well. So, and my name's Carrie. I'm the team director and a cat one two racer. Nine, of course, West Side, of course. Nathan Laugley, we've got yellow and we're about to get married. This check is filled with Laugley, followed by this check, and then a 294. Wow, this check right up there, Laugley though, extremely consistent. Number two was a 294, I saw. I saw Greg Steltenbold, KMK on Marquette, Michigan in third place. We'll get that confirmed in a moment. But Nathan Laugley, our overall winner, tells us, shows us why, overall leader in the way, shows us why he may have just ramped up the overall series with this win out here at 20 points, he had 20 series points for winning one of these criterias. Congratulations, and I think we've had you up here before, have we not? Yesterday I was up, actually I didn't show up, but I got third place yesterday. It was my first day of Super Week, and I think last year I had a third too. You had a third last year, yesterday your first day of Super Week. Now you're in the rhythm here, you get to be famous at Super Week, even in the category four race, you get third place, you get up here, get interviewed, and anybody here you want to say hi to? Actually my wife and my daughter Hayden, she's 15 months old, they're here cheering for me, so. Well, and daughter, 15 month old daughter, that's an inspiration out there, isn't it? Oh yeah, definitely, it definitely eases the pain every lap I look into her, and it gives me some power, definitely. And you know, it gives you something to be careful about too, it's like, oh, now that you're a dad, you know, you can't get hurt and not be able to work, you know, and this is a risky sport. How do you reconcile those two things? Actually, I come from motor, super bike racing, so this is a lot safer. We're not going 180 miles an hour out here, so yeah, not too bad. Tell us a little bit about super bikes. Well, I was, I raced for about three years, I did the pro event in Alcarte Lake, and that was my last motorcycle race, and I kind of did cycling to get in shape for motorcycle racing, and it was kind of my next love, so this is a lot safer. Well, Greg, congratulations again, and you know, you're talking about safety up here. I think maybe we had one guy fall down today, it's not too bad, but what do you think of the course? It's a, both of them that I raced, they're awesome courses, they're really well laid out, really, really nicely marked, and so far, so good, and not any incidents. Well, congratulations again, Greg, on your third place today, and your prizes will be available about 15 minutes from now. Speak English, okay, Marion. Fine, Marion is gonna be shy here, he's originally from Poland, right? Originally from Poland, you're from Manitoba, Canada, and you come down here every year. Yeah, it's harder and harder, I'm 50 years old this year, and three years ago, I had a heart attack, and I can race any faster. You had a heart attack three years ago. Yeah, I had three stents, and I... You got three stents in there, you had a heart attack three years ago, and you took two or three primes today, and second place, congrats, I mean, how do you do that? How do you get back in shape after a heart attack? Our dollar is not equal yet, that's why I must make more money to pay for the gas. Oh, you know, you're winning some US dollars down here, the US dollar's still a little bit more valuable than the Canadian dollar? Yeah, 94 or something now. It's getting close, it's getting closer, about the closest it's been. Marion Fistek, congratulations, we'll have you here on the stand, and just like, in fact, goes to Wisconsin for beans and barley, and Nathan, I think, four primes today, including the first prime of the race. Almost five primes, close one, I think Marion may have got you for that other one, I can't remember, but you've got the win today, and do you have the overall victory for this two week series sewn up? Yep, yeah, it's sewn up today. He didn't show up, so, you know. Thomas Bobo was not here, and that helps a little bit, but you had a huge points lead coming into this thing. You are Mr. Consistency, and two weeks of racing at the beginning, we call it the beginning level, amateur racing, how did you prepare for this series? Just bike about an hour, hour and a half every day, it's about it. So just consistency, the man is consistent on the race course, he's consistent with his training, and Nathan, you had no problem with the sprints today. You tried a breakaway, but the breakaway didn't work. Yeah, I was the only one who wanted to work, they seemed to want to go for primes more, so I was like, all right. Well, Nathan, you know, it doesn't matter to Nathan, it's like, you want to sit around and go for primes, fine, I'll go for primes, I'll win more than anybody else, and then I'll out sprint you at the end, if you want to go for the primes and stretch things out, then we can break away and do it from there. The man will cater to his opponents either way, you want to sprint against me, fine, you want to break away, that's fine. Nathan Longley, congratulations, we're going to see you tomorrow in Kenosha riding what category? Hopefully category three. Category three, the faster guys tomorrow. Nathan Longley, congrats, we've got a day of racing in Sheboygan and 14 locations total, throughout Southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois today, the PCW Heritage Square Cycling Classic, we started at 1030 with the beginning level amateurs, and these guys aren't really beginning level cyclists, they're going 45 laps, that's 35 miles. We'll end tonight with a race at six o'clock, the pros from six or seven countries represented going 100 kilometers, that is 80 laps out here, 62 miles on about a one mile course ride here in Sheboygan, right past Allen Owes and all the other great businesses here in one of the great American cities, we're so glad to be here in Southeast Wisconsin. Riders, this is category three, four women, you are going 30 laps, 25 miles, you've got 500 bucks in prices at the end for the top 12. We've also got a nice little pile of cash creams right here. Cash creams, we'll be ringing those out during the race, from 10 up to about $25. Also with every cream comes, I believe, socks, do we have the socks? It doesn't say socks also, but I've got the box of socks here, so I guess every cream comes with a couple sets of triathlete ultralight ultimax socks by Wigwam and everybody else, oh, socks, how cute. You know, who's riding the latest in bib shorts out here? Because we're gonna talk about clothing for just a second, latest in bib shorts right there. Those things are $150 to $200, you know why? Because of the fabric that's worn in them, the fabric in them and the moisture wicking stuff in them and the very special stuff, okay? Why not keep your feet comfortable? Anybody over here, anybody here ever had trouble in a race because their feet were getting hot? Yes, okay. You want something? Six laps to go, no more free laps after six to go. The pit is behind you, the red scramb, 10 down there, a legitimate mechanical failure beyond your control, like a broken bike bar, like a crash or flat tire, that'll get you a free lap to get back into the race without any penalty. After six laps to go, no more free laps. Questions? Does it weigh 10 bucks to the leader of the lap? Well, these far, $10 just like that, the leader of the next lap to lap number one. Can't always get about the first rider blind here next time. All right, we're here with Jerry Vannekeek, one of the organizers from this super week for a number of years. Jerry, can you tell us a little bit of background information over the years? How many years? Well, we've been doing this, this is our 18th year. It started as a one-shot deal, which was trying to see what was gonna happen as far as the Heritage Square area. We had just redone the old business area and it was a way to get people over to the business district here and let them know what was going on in Sheboygan. So, 18 years now we've been doing it. It was only supposed to be one. To put on an event like this, it takes a lot of volunteers. You wanna talk about that? Yeah, we have probably over 100 volunteers between people going out to get primes, corner guards, set up, tear down, little bit of everything. So, close to 100 volunteers that we have just to get the race going and race day and then clean up afterwards. On an event like this, it takes a lot of preparation that do you set up now for next year? Well, it's a little difficult because they don't set the dates until sometime in January or February. A lot of the set up of the signage in that you see is done by the international classic themselves. Ours is more the local stuff, getting corner guards, taking care of trash, some of the cleanup things, set up things in that manner. So, we start talking about it right away. There's been talk about a different course, taking it out of the Heritage Square area, moving it downtown. I don't know if that'll happen. That's not what we at Heritage Square would like, but we don't control all those things if the classic wants to go elsewhere. In town, if they think they can draw a bigger crowd, we'll have to deal with it. Now, talking about the local merchants, explain what the primes are all about. Well, primes are basically lap prizes. Primes are, we are one of the largest, I guess, in dollars and number of primes on the entire race circuit of 19 or 20 races. The riders love coming here because of the primes. Sometimes we have one place primes where it's just the leader of a pack or leader of the race. It could be the leader of the pack, maybe not the leader of the race. We could have three place primes, different dollar amounts, merchandise prizes, things like that. They're basically prizes for leading or the fastest lap or what have you. Now, this year, it appears to be the weather is going to be very cooperative. It's quite warm. How do you think that's gonna affect the crowd or the riders? Well, as long as it doesn't rain, the crowd should be great. The humidity, hopefully that'll drop a little bit maybe later on today. If it starts raining, then you have a problem. If it's brief showers, light showers, it's not so much of a problem. You have to be downpours. These guys race in the rain, they don't, they don't, I shouldn't say guys, guys and gals. They race in the rain. If there's a thunderstorm, lightning and the like, they'll stop the race. But we've had one year where the tornado sirens went off and they had to stop the race. But for the most part, races go on until about eight o'clock tonight. Very good. Thank you. $10.40 a liter, a lot of air, nine laps to go riders. Nine to go, DaVinci is 18 seconds up the road. 18 seconds to go leader. Looks like we've got a good chase going now. What is that? Christina Moore, I believe it was, out of Elgin, Oklahoma. Of course it's clear though. $20.00, $20.00, $5.00, $5.00 to go. $5.00, $20.00, $25.00 to go here on the next lap. $25.00 to go here on the next lap. $25.00 to go here on the next lap. And we won that free. That was a race. Kristen Messberg, our overall, Messberg, the overall, the 10-and-four in second half of the line. Kristen Messberg, our overall leader, winning here in Shabbos again. As the race makes a very interesting situation out of the final turn. Carly Gendron and Kristen Messberg. Lions, Illinois. Stick around Carly, because I think we can get a picture. Kristen, come on over here. You're very identifiable in the Flatlandia jersey that we talked about, the Flatlandia. I don't think it has anything to do with terrain though. What is Flatlandia? Actually it does, you're from Chicago, so we don't have any hills to practice on, so and we thought it would be a planned, the old Plandria team, so kind of. It's not like a vodka brand or something to me, you know? But yeah, it sounds good, so Flatlandia is the name of the club, it's from the Chicago area. I don't know, you've got your, your hometown listed as Lions, Illinois, so. I know you didn't like Cedarburg, it was kind of hilly out there. Oh, you loved Cedarburg, did we? Yeah, somewhere out here, I'm talking to the wrong person now, aren't we? Let me look at Cedarburg. Women, Kristen Messberg, oh yeah, you won there. Won in Cedarburg, where it was hilly, so the Flatlandia lady didn't mind the hills in Cedarburg. Yesterday, Howard thinks for Ian Howard. Well, you know, it was hard and hot and it was a little bit cooler on the final lap here. And you were up there near the front, won a lap to go and it starts raining. What happened out there? Well, there were two women up the front and I really thought, once again, I thought, you know, went and did it out. You know, that happened a lap or turn number four, the last turn of the race, Kristen, three or four, maybe five riders hit the pavement or went over the curb and you were already in front of them. There in front of you is, that's one of the most frightening noises in all of cycling is here in the sound of that crash, that middle pedals and the bikes hitting the ground in front of you, they were all behind you there and it started to rain. What was your thought? Was your thought to get to the very front because of the rain or, you know, of course you want to be to the front to win the race, but you don't want to be too far to the front for the mile to go. Well, you kept the rubber side down as did Carly Gendron and Christine Rettger. Kristen Messberg, you may take her over all lead, of course, and hey, it's not raining. Anybody out there with a camera? There's the camera. Let's go out, get the podium shot here. First, second, and third as our master's company. Handling the hills in Cedarburg and the relatively mild terrain here in Sheboygan to Dan of Lines, Illinois. Kristen Messberg, your champion here in Sheboygan. She's the overall leader. Hands up in glory as the crowd goes wild. Okay. Oh, it's funny, I knew by the first time I just sat down and I was like, hey, that's the guy I was skating with, yeah. From here in Sheboygan, we went on to Kenosha, into Milwaukee for the Great Downer Avenue by Grace, a fantastic crowd there. And of course, finishing up in Whitefish Bay just north of the city of Milwaukee. Right here in Sheboygan, we had category three and four women, our amateur women with some of the local flavor, some local flavor added by our Sheboygan rider, number 13, Alicia Hildebrand, riding for PCW Cycling. And you can see the PCW riders in those distinctive yellow and blue jerseys. Other Sheboygan riders include in our category four men race, the category four men's race, the beginning level amateurs, number 37, William Street. Or actually number, oh well, number 162, William Street of Sheboygan, adding some local color in the blue and yellow of PCW Cycling and our amateur beginning level amateur race here at 1030 this morning. Oh well. Keep on forgetting we're doing a week from now, sorry, I'm a little rusty on this stuff. And let's see. Let's talk about the pro race. Actually in the category four or five race, you know these guys are sometimes in their first year of riding. And we've seen a lot of riders develop from the first year into the intermediate level or the good regional amateur status category three riders. And we even have a young man, Cole House from Oneida who started as a category four rider four years ago. And he is now riding with the pros and the top elite riders in our 2007 international cycling classic. Nathan Longley of Beans and Barley for category four and five. He is our overall leader after 13 days of racing. And these guys are the beginning level. They've been doing 13 days in a row. Nathan Longley of the Beans and Barley team out of West Alice has been riding every day and that consistency has him in first place overall. 29 years now, Eddie Van Geis. He's originally from Chicago, now lives in Long Beach, California. He comes out here to announce the pro race. And in the evening race, he's talking about Marco Rios of Mexico, the overall leader in our professional leagues out here. Jonathan Cantwell of Australia in second overall. And a man from Lawrence, Kansas, originally from Denmark, Brian Jensen, a very strong former long distance runner. So we've got riders from triathlons running riders from so many different countries. Top American native is Kaylee Leo Grande, former overall leader as of our race here in Sheboygan. The man from the rock racing team from Rancho, Cucamondo, California was in fifth place overall. And these guys get points for their finishing order every night. And really right now as of Sheboygan, 26 points out of 178, 26 points separating the top five. So that is how close the competition is. Fighting for a new team this series out of Illinois. Second place in yesterday. We're calling the Drew Burr, Mark Charlton, Drew Burr. Fourth mark. Is he here today? Don't see him. How about yesterday's winner? I know he is. Yesterday's winner, Andy, won the day before in Cedarburg, breaking away from a breakaway. A man with a lot of endurance in his legs out of Waukesha. A contractor married 28 years with five kids, three grandkids. He won in Waukesha. He won all room dancing lessons and he lists that as his new hobby. One yesterday and one the day before. Please welcome for team Matt, Mr. Mark McGean. And a man who's so shy. He doesn't know that I know this, but we're gonna bring him up here, have him raise his hand and give him a good congratulations on making it 50 years through life as a white racer. Please welcome from California, Les Anlos Obispo's Chris Black from Morgan Stanley. Chris Black, 50 years old today. How he got that old to this sport. He's out here with all these youngsters in their 40s. We'll see how he does. These California guys in the rain, we'll find out. Gentlemen, we are scheduled for 50 laps, that is 40 miles. 50 laps, 40 miles. Finishing price list total is $750 for 18 glaciers. With guts. With guts. A nice little slew of cash screens. And every cash stream or almost every cash stream goes a pair or two. Oh, we traveled late. Oh, July. Open X with long socks, special athletic socks. I'll feed you. I may not even eat your food today, but say tomorrow's motion. It's hot. You'll be lucky if you have some of these socks because everybody's had hot feet out in this hot sport before. There's no problem. So keep your feet cooler. Look, we want socks. And I think we're just about ready to go, eh? Careful out there. Gentlemen, have a great time. It's not too hot. I don't have a question to write in the rain. Of course, most of my all about racing career was spent as a citizen of a fort like Oregon. We used to ride in the rain, racing in the rain. Criterion's great. The criteria to be a great bike racer is speed, endurance, and great bike handling ability. A criterion requires all three in order to be a winner out here. And you'll see why. And when you watch these guys going 25 to 30 miles an hour through the corners, elbow to elbow, wheel and why do they follow so closely? It's because a rider at the very front at race speed, 25 to 35 miles an hour is working 20 or even 30% harder than the rider's right behind him. That lead rider is working as a wind block. He's creating a little tailwind for the guys behind him. And the farther back you are in the pack, the more tailwind you've got generated for you. So look at the guys in the back of the pack. Sometimes on these long straightaways, they're not working real hard, but you watch them go through those corners. That pack gets stretched out very thin, single file usually, to find the optimum high speed line through a turn. So the guys at the back then getting strung out, single file, it's like being at the end of a slinky. They've got a sprint to catch back up and get into contention when they come out of the turn. So there's a compromise here. Some riders like to sit near the back out of the wind. Other riders like to be near the front so they have control all the speed they want through those corners. So as he is, it is Chris Black. Let's bring him up here, Black to get up here too, and Chris Halverson. This man I think has gone faster today than anyone else. It's just a matter of where you start, you're going faster than anyone else. This guy completed the course today faster than anyone else by having a great lead out of the turn. Well, let's walk him up to the stage right now. Chris Halverson up here too, here comes Chris. But second place, Brent Emery. Menominee Falls owner of Emery Cycle and Fitness. Brent, you are coming up the left side miles an hour faster than anybody else. But at Bellwap, you're in fourth spot right there. Yeah, I should have been a little bit better place, but Chris got a tremendous lead out on the back stretch. He made a fabulous move. What a great birthday present. Happy birthday, Chris. We've got two Chris's in the top three up here. Chris Black, we're gonna have a word with you. Here's Chris Halverson, our overall leader, and it was third place today. Chris Black, we're gonna get back to you too. We're gonna spend a couple of minutes up here. I hope you're prepared. Nice and cool out there with a little bit of rain and not bad black handling for a Southern cowboy. It's a little slippery, I had a little problems. I got a support wheel and it didn't corner quite as good as mine did. So I was having to back off as I came through turn three and four. I couldn't go as fast as I wanted to. But my friend Tom Gates from Gran Fondo gave me the best lead out. We were going so fast down the backside, I didn't think I was even gonna make the turn in turn three. And I knew all I had to do was hang on and I could hear Brent coming behind me. And I was just hoping that I didn't run out of room. And it was a matter of room today, Chris. As you came across the line, it was getting closer and closer. Brent might have been within a bike length or two of you going about five miles an hour faster. But you know, you talk about the lead out, he got going down a back search route. Now, was that a Morgan Stanley teammate or just somebody you know from California? Tom Gates, he lives in Tennessee now. He's a former Southern Cal guy. He used to ride with the guy who I was the unofficial lead out guy for, for a long time, Butch Stinton. And Tom's just a really fast guy. And he came up and decided to give me a birthday present today. So he gave me the lead out down the backside. And you know, Brent's faster than me, but I got there first. Smarter and you got the great lead out. Chris stick stick with us here. Here's the other Chris. Chris Halvors is in first place overall because of consistency. Sometimes he wins, but he's most often, you know, almost always in a top five. And Chris today had a big sprint out there. You could break away, you can sprint. And today you had a couple of big guys to take on. Oh, well, we tried to get into a break away several times, but there's just so much strength in this 40 plus field. Like I say, I just want to also congratulate Chris on a happy birthday and it's a nice present and a good sprint from Brent and just, just love racing with all these guys. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. So our riders know, he's number down. And then he'll ride his member on the wheel. Yes, he will. And I will tell him who's in first. He's first approaching four. We're here with Bonnie, one of the race officials for Super Week. Bonnie, could you tell us about what you do here as an official and right now you're in the pit area? My job is when a rider comes in, if they get a flight tire, if they break something on their bike, they come in. They let us know what their problem is. And then Todd or Jose will get their bike fixed and we'll get them back in in the next lap. If they have a crash, sometimes we may have four or five guys that'll come in. I write their numbers down, so we'll know who was involved in the crash in case anything comes up later. And then we make sure they go back out with the field. And they'll have them out. And even on this short of course, which is, I'm guessing, about a minute and a half to minute 40, they'll have them ready to go before the field gets back. When a rider crashes or has an event with their bike, how many laps do they have to get into the pits? They try to get here as quickly as possible. But as soon as they come in the pit, they've only got one lap. And then I have to get them back out. Now, what types of things are you doing to the bike when they come in? Sometimes it's a flat tire. Sometimes it could be a broken spoke. It could be a broken seat collar. We've had them come in. And the handlebars have been broken from the crash. So they'll take a bike down off the car, set it up, and have them out. And they'll have the bike set up and ready to go in a minute. And what are you doing now when you're riding numbers on? I'm keeping track of the race so that if somebody comes out, if there's a break, and this happens all the time in the pros, there will be a break. And they'll mount me four guys in the break. And they'll come by. And then there's three guys in the break. And then the one guy comes into the pit. He goes, I'm in the break. I'm like, yep, you were in the break. And so they'll come back around and we send them right back out with a break. We know who's in the field. That way, if they come by. And we know they weren't at the front. And they weren't off the back. But they were in the field. So when the field comes back, we send them right back out with the field. How did you get involved in this? And were you a rider yourself? Well, I've done mountain bike racing, but I've never raced on the road. My oldest son started racing at the track in Frisco, Texas. And they needed more officials. And so I'm here all the time anyway. So I took the class and started officiating at the track. And then he started going to road races. So I thought, I'm going to be on the road with him. Might as well work at the race, make some money while we're there, help pay for the travel. And that's how I started. Is your son here? He is not here now. He's going to college full-time and working full-time. And he just moved from Dallas to Houston. Anything else you want to add? Come out and watch the races. It's a lot of fun. You've got to come watch the pros. They're fast. All right, Todd, you're the race support for the International Super Week. You want to talk about what you do, and then we'll talk about this bike in particular. Sure. Jose Alcala and I are what are referred to as neutral race mechanics or neutral support mechanics. What we do is we go to pro and amateur cycling events. We're part of a team, about 15 mechanics. We have five of these Volvo XC70 cars provided for us by Volvo. And we bring bicycles, tools, and equipment along to help keep a rider in a race if they have a mechanical problem during the event so that rider's race is not over. We travel to about 100 events a year, Super Week being one of them, and in fact, being the longest and most grueling that we're in. But beyond being a lot of work, it's really a lot of fun. We get to travel around and see the racing and really be a part of it, which is kind of exciting. Let's talk about this new bike you have in front of you. Sure. This is an Orbea time trial bike. Orbea is a small manufacturer from Spain who have in the last few years started distributing bicycles to North America. It's a carbon fiber frame. The bicycle in total weighs about 17 and 1 half pounds. It's got the Zip 808 carbon wheels. We're good. All right. The bike is an Orbea time trial bike. It's a small manufacturer in Spain who have just recently, in the last few years, gotten distribution in North America. And so they're helping us out with our program, providing bicycles that we can take along to the races and offer as loners to a rider who has a crash or a breakage. The bike, as it stands now, weighs about 17 and 1 half pounds. It has a SRAM force and rival component kit designed specifically for a time trial. The highlight of the new component kit is these carbon fiber shift levers and brake levers. They're designed to be lightweight and aerodynamic. Previous to this, the shift and brake levers that were available for this style of bike were heavy and were an old design originally developed for touring bicycles, for bicycles carrying a heavy load and spending days and weeks on an unsupported tour. So this is the first kit of this type that has been developed specifically for this discipline of cycle racing. No, there is no time trial in this event. This is what's called an omnium. Time trial is usually involved in stage racing. Stage racing is a series of races where every rider must make a time cut, must finish within a maximum time to be able to continue on the next day. This being an omnium means that riders may pick and choose the races they want to participate in. They can take a day off or race the entire series. There are still points and prizes for each individual day as well as an overall prize at the end. So a rider in contention for the overall prize, obviously, it's in their best interest to race the entire series. $25, Jason Cordeaux, San Fran is out there. $25 for the U.S. Bank. $25 for you. And if you can take a birth or after a while, once again, they'll find this one and look at the way it's done and how it began to be. But if you came there, you don't want to do a work war on the inside. We don't want to turn a party to the way the party is. So we have a watch for a winner today, category three. Here's the man. There's Cameron Wilcox. Is this Cameron Wilcox or is this Cameron Wilcox? The champion today, category three. Right here in Shea Boyden, Cameron. And we're going to go ahead. Cameron Wilcox, we're going to have to offer the guys to sit down and relax just for a second. But Cameron, Washburn, Wisconsin, he's going to sit down too. Boy, he got tired. It was only 50 miles out there with two other guys. I'm kind of tired. You know, I think I've interviewed you before. You know this man, he's sort of soft-spoken. He's pretty just kind of very simple and straightforward about things. But today, Cameron, I don't think you can say, oh, yeah, it was pretty hard out there. And I'm kind of tired. I mean, you guys put it to him. Yeah, we did the same move last year, actually. And I won last year in the four-fives. Oh, so in the beginning group, but now you're in a whole level of competition and you're going about 20 miles farther. 20 miles faster, too. You know, I've had a rough super week, actually. I had a little higher hopes than I ended up with. So I wanted to really rock it today. Well, you rocked it definitely here, Cameron. And you're from, let's see, Washburn, Wisconsin for Endeavour Cycling. And where exactly is Washburn? It's up in my national Wisconsin, Lake Superior. So you're up there in a beautiful place for training and, you know, not a lot of population up here. You got training partners up there? No, not really. They all went to college. They all went to college and you're racing your bike. And, ah, there we go. Most of the primes, gentlemen, most of the primes are going to be available with the Franklin Mint, but I get to hand this to Dan Teter's today. Or where's Carol? Is Carol here? Maybe she should hand it to Dan Teter. She collected most of it. Carol, come on over. Is Carol here? If Carol is still here, we'll give this to Dan Teter's. So we've got second place up here today, Michael Klapperich. And I guess that mountain dude does you some good out there. Congratulations, Michael. Thank you. Thank you. You know, you're kind of tired right now and things are hot and humid out here. But what do you put in that water bottle? I talk about the hammer, heat, drink. You know, we talk about Mountain Dew. We talk about all sorts of energy drinks, sport drinks, or just plain water. What's your secret? Shackly performance. Shout and I'll go a whole other brand all together. And we were a member. We were a member. I'm trying to remember the names here. Oh, they wrote for Shackly. He won so many times. I don't know a name. They just escaped me. But we had Shackly team out here. And they won a lot of races out here. We use sports drinks. They replace the energy as you go. And he had 50 miles today. You went through a lot of calories. Yeah, yeah. We were working pretty hard. Kamen was pulling hard through here. And I took the back stretch. The other guy was filling in between. The other guy, the other guy, who is that other guy? Come on over here, other guy. Other guy all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah. Vanguard Media Group. This is Eric Thompson. Well, Eric, thank you for adding kind of a national flair to things today all the way up from Utah. And I know Patrick Fosse was third in on one of the other races. So your teams do it pretty well. Yeah, Patrick's kind of a local here. He's from Sheboygan Falls originally. And we thought we'd come out and visit mom and dad. And it's been an awesome race. Oh, so you've got a host family here. Absolutely. Makes it that much better for us. Well, you know, we came into this thing. We had four riders in the break. Put my crown cream down right here for now. We had four riders in the break to begin with. It was Brian Kaker of the Beans and Barley team, one of our local riders. Actually helped start that thing, Eric. And then he dropped off after a little while. Yeah, these two guys started putting the herd on both of us. And I just barely was able to hang on and had to make them pull through a couple times. And then just hung on and kept watching the lap counter go down. All right, so you kept going and watching that lap counter go down and Brian, Brian Wilcox, we came up. I mean, Cameron, Brian Wilcox, Cameron Wilcox, you saw the back of the pack there at probably five or 10 laps to go. You're coming up behind everybody. Yeah, I was thinking about catching them, but that complicates things. You know, that does. It's a very interesting situation because this guy here has a couple of strong teammates in the race. And I don't know, Michael, if you have some teammates in the race out there, I didn't see any other Mountain Dew jerseys. Any other endeavor guys in the race? Yeah, I had one teammate, Pete Lawrence. I think he was probably working for me today. Yeah, he was probably helping that break stay out. But what if you would have lapped the field? You would have gone in there and you would have been looking for your teammates to lead you out to the front to help beat the other guy. And that would have been a very interesting situation. Why did not? Why didn't you lap the field? You know, I think we were just kind of a lightheaded and decided just to hang on and just finish it out between the three of us. All right, so Eric, you've got third place today. Congratulations. Take the spot up there. And Cameron Wilcox, not to be confused with Brian, who's a fictitious character in my mind. Cameron Wilcox, team endeavor, and Michael Clapperich, first, second, and third today in an epic 50-miler. Let's have fourth place come out here as well. Fourth place, come on out here. Cameron or Kenneth Statz, there we go. Ken Statz. Ken Statz in fourth place. You were out there solo for a couple of creams. And you went out there solo for fourth place, escaping a very rabid bunch behind you. I don't feel as strong during the race. And I have to redeem myself. I am a sprinter. So next year, I'll have to sprint it up for maybe up with these guys, hopefully. But I've got to move up a few levels before I can stay with those guys. You consider yourself a sprinter, but you soloed for about $60 or something like that in creams. And fourth place in the race. Wasn't the smartest thing to do, but yeah. Hey, it worked out OK. Well, you think you're a sprinter then, Ken. Come on over here, Bert Cross, Austin, Texas. And we're going to get Dan Teeters up here as well. But Bert Cross, early in the race, you were saying, where's that $50 cream? And I announced a $15 cream. And you looked like you just won the World Championships when you came across the line and went in 15. I messed up big time. I heard it wrong. So I thought it was $50, but it was $15. I kind of wondered about that. But there were some other creams of $20 or $30 or $35 later on that you're out there for. Well, I ran out of water, so I was just trying to save it. And I hope that break will come back again. Well, you know, we had three guys off the front, a lot of chasing. Then Ken went out there for fourth place. And the field comes around the corner. Describe the last turn from your perspective. It was nice and clean. It was real nice and clean. I took the corner first, and I just went up the hill and then just came around, just hammered really hard. How did you get first in the corner when everybody in that 40-wider pack wanted to be at that corner first? How'd you get there? I fought for it, and I wanted it bad, so I went for it. All right, is it all elbows and shoulders and all the head button or something like that? How do you do it? That's my job. I'm a sprinter, so that's how you have to do it. The man from Austin, Texas puts on a show for us today. Fifth place today, Bert Cross. Here's the picture, but I want Dan Teeters to join these guys. Dan Teeters, Color, Wisconsin, $103 CrowdPremes Day, right over here next to Bert. And here are the top riders in our race today. Dan Teeters with $103 CrowdPremes, Bert Cross, Austin, Texas in fifth, Ken Statz, Wisconsin Rapids in fourth, soloing for that one. Third place, Eric Thompson, Salt Lake City. In second, Michael Clapprick of St. Cloud, and first, Cameron O'Wilcox, Washburn, Illinois. Now here's something for Mike Garrison, is Sean from Ten Speeds. Let's get ready to run! Sean, thank you very much. Thank you, Doc Rees, man, let's give him a big hand. Oh, we got an exciting field here. Yeah, day one, day 14, a super week. I know, I know. We'll be there in about five minutes.
