PRESS RELEASE - 8/23/10

Culvers Racing had a great weekend seeking out the podium.  Saturday was the annual Deer Chase in Calumet a 27 mile race in the Swede Town Trails.  The course was different this year with one 27 mile lap and a lot of new single track.  Tyler and Tom rode with the front group until a break at 22 miles.  Tyler rode away with the victory and Tom finished close behind to top off the podium with a 3rd.  Justin Weber also attended finishing 48th.

The following day the team split up as Tom and Justin stayed in the Keweenaw for the inaugural MTU Rondevous and Tyler headed south to Green Bay for the WORS Reforestation.  The Rondevous in new to the UP Calendar and offered rides a change to show off their single track skills on the technical but fun MTU Rec Trails.  Tom established his dominance early riding away with Tyler Jenema.  They shared the load until an unfortunate mechanical breakdown for Tyler Jenema and Tom kept the tempo high and flew to victory.  Justin Weber was close behind with a  5th place.

Down in Green Bay WORS had on the schedule a 36 mile course with open fire roads and punch single track.  The Pro/Elite field was stacked with the main hitters and the pace was high from the beginning.  After the first single track groups were formed and the pace was high. The day went well for Tyler as he finished in the chase group for 9th overall.
