March, 20th - Nekoosa WI The Rapid Angels Motorcycle Club in conjunctions with Wisconsin Woods Rider Development (WRD) and Moose Racing has announced its 1st annual Woods Rider Development school on Saturday, May 14th at the Dyracuse Recreational Park. The class is open to all riders 16 years of age and younger and will be free to all participants (park fees apply). The goal of WRD is to continue to expand the reach of Hare Scramble and Enduro racing and offer an easy introduction to these racing disciplines. The School will start at 10 am and last about 5 hours with a lunch break. All bike sizes are welcome. Some of the topics covered will include bike setup, mental approach & strategy, rules, gear setup, technical drills from log crossings, to hill climbs, to turning, rock sections, and of course lots of riding with the coaches to apply the newly acquired skills.
Speaking of coaches, we have solicited the help of some of our local greats including Pete (Speedy) Laubmeier, JD Friebel, Ryan Moss, John Strangfeld, Heath Drone, and others (we will update this as we get closer). “WRD is excited to be able to provide this service to all young riders who have considered giving woods racing a try or improve their current woods riding skills, but haven’t really had the opportunity to explore this further” says Wolfgang Neuwirth, spokes person for WRD.
There will be limited space available for this school, as we would like to keep the rider number per group small and manageable and maximize results, so sign up early.

Wolfgang, W5552 Briarwood Rd., Elkhorn, WI 53121. Depending on space availability, sign up will also be available at the event.
