Lapham Peak Cross Race Pics If you were at the Lapham Peak Cyclocross Race this year, you saw the small army of photographers hiking around and pretending you were racing le Tour. Well, they produced some amazing pics which can be viewed at: http://www.imagequix.com/photog.php?id=29DKH9J&ec=cyclocross. Many thanks to Bill Meyer, renowned Wisconsin photographer from the Journal Sentinel and other publications for posting the pics. Prints can be ordered from the site. Lastly, huge thanks to Wheel & Sprocket in Delafield for donating race prizes and providing an employee (on the clock!) to help with trail work in preparation for the race! That's a great way to dig into the local cycling scene! Have a great fall! Lake Country Endurance Keep your number! The WCA Cyclocross Series is experimenting with issuing permanent cyclocross numbers. This reduces the cost to race organizers, lightens our ecological footprint (Tyvek doesn't grow on trees!), and may make registration flow more quickly. You can help us by bringing your number to each race. We've purchased enough to allow for a few spares, but don't want to run out before the end of the season! Questions? Contact Heidi wcatech@earthlink.net.
