Wisconsin's Tristan Schouten named to US Cyclocross Team Donations  
sought to help defray expenses

USA Cycling announced their automatic and discretionary nominations in  
the elite men's category for the 2007 UCI Cyclocross World  
Championships scheduled for January 27-28 in Hooglede-Gits, Belgium.   
The Midwest's own Tristan Schouten (Sheboygan, WI/Trek-VW) was one of  
the discretionary picks.  Schouten's success this season included a  
15th place finish at the national championships and several top-ten  
finishes in UCI races throughout the US.  Schouten also won both WCA  
races he entered this season with impressive victories at Badger Cross  
and Estabrook.

All discretionary picks to the US Cyclocross team must pay for the  
cost of the trip package themselves.  Fundraising efforts are underway  
to help Tristan with these costs.  If you would like to help Tristan  
get to Belgium there are a number of ways you can donate.  You can go  
to Tristan's blog at tristanschouten.blogspot.com and follow the  
directions for making a direct donation.  You can also visit  
madcross.org and purchase a Wisconsin Cyclocross DVD, calendar, poster  
or photos.  All profit from these items will go directly to Tristan.    
Your support is greatly appreciated.

Happy training,
