Travis Woodruff (MomentumEndurance) and Abigail Strigel (Polska/Fond du Lac Cyclery) won Sunday’s Sunburst Showdown at Wisconsin’s Sunburst Ski Area..

The race was the eighth event of the Wisconsin Off Road Series.

After five laps of the course, Woodruff took the Elite Men’s win (1:24:39), ahead of second-place Brain Matter (Geargrinder-Hyundai; 1:24:57) and third place Jeff Melcher (Team Pedal-Moraine; 1:28:05).

By coincidence, all three rode Gary Fisher Superfly bikes.
