The race, held at Cascade Mountain in Portage, Wisconsin, also featured some of the country's top pro mountain bikers in the pro race. 

Chad Tucker finished fourth in his age group in the Comp division while Ron Knutowski finished fifth, 17th overall. 

Angie on podium!

On Friday, Knutowski raced the short track, a kind of short lap dirt race. He placed third in 35 to 44 age group and seventh overall in Comp Cat. 2 division. 

"I rode myself into the ground to pass two guys in my age group on the last lap," he said. "It was a crazy hard 18-minute race." 

Chris St. Clair finished sixth in his age group in the Sport Cat. 2 division. 

Chris, who forgot his team kit, races on MBC Grit steel mountain bike.

Knutkowski, who has been on the podium for every WORS race he's entered this year, was only a minute back from the win. He was ninth overall in the Comp division, one of the fastest of the WORS categories.

The Red Eye Rendezvous in Wausau, Wisconsin, is the fourth of the WORS series races. 

MBC riders are gearing up for the fifth race of the WORS series in Eau Claire and then the Subaru Cup at Cascade Mountain. 

Knutkowski on the podium. Again!

MBC Racers Score Podiums in Camrock WORS race

MBC Race Team rider Chip Way wins his
Citizen age group at Camrock WORS

Milwaukee Bicycle Company Racing Team rider Chip Way continued his impressive start to the WORS season. 

Way has now won the last two Citizen 45-54 age groups, at Crystal Lake and Camrock. At Camrock, he finished 13th of 199 starters in the Citizen class. 

"This is my first year so I wanted to get as much experience early on as I could," Way said.

Way plans to upgrade and start riding in the Sport class in his next race.

Comp rider Ron Knutkowski is now two for two in WORS podiums. 

On a tough, technical course at Camrock with a lot of climbing, Knutkowski was second in the 35-39 Comp age group and 10th overall of 67.

He previously finished fifth at the WORS opener in Iola. 

"I hope I can continue that trend," he said.  "(I'm) starting to feel fast again."

Comp riders Chad Tucker finished fifth in his age group (35-39) and Rick Walls finished ninth in his age group (40-44).

Walls also finished eighth in Comp age group at Crystal Lake. 

Victoria Pink, racing in the Sport class, won her age group at Crystal Lake as well. 

At Camrock, Citizen racers Sam Adams finished 14th and William Bayley finished 17th in their 35-39 age group.

Milwaukee Bicycle Company Racing Team Continues Success

Two Milwaukee Bicycle Company racers earned age group medals in Rhinelander, the second stop of WORS.

Victoria Pink also won her age group in the Sport division and placed 8th overall for the women!

WORS is the largest mountain bike series in the U.S. The third stop in the series is the Battle of Camrock at the Camrock 3 County Park in Rockdale, WI.

WORS has several divisions so that everyone can race. Beginning racers start in Citizen, move up to Sport for more challenging and longer events. The next step is Comp, meant for regional-level riders. The top riders race Elite and Pro events.

Several MBC racers will be heading to the Wisconsin Endurance Mountain Bike Series (WEMS) event next weekend at the Southern Kettle Moraine Emma Carlin state park.
