In the last three Wisconsin Cycling Association races it's either been Samantha Schneider or Abby Strigel taking the top step of the podium.

But, the other hasn't been far behind, taking second in the womens Pro 1/2 field. Schneider got the best of Strigel Oct. 20 and 29, while Strigel won Oct. 21.

Hampshire Cycle Club's Estabrook Park race Saturday, Nov. 3 presents this week’s chance for Strigel to match her recent rival.

Located at 4400 North Estabrook Lane, the racecourse is one of the original Wisconsin Cycling Association (WCA) cyclocross locales, according to Jerry Pearce, Hampshire Cycle Club's Estabrook Park race director.

The 2.5-kilometer route hasn't changed since last season, he said.

"This course is one of the original races, 16 years running," Pearce said.

The track features mostly flat terrain, one run-up section, a spiral and one dismount, Pearce said.

Estabrook Park is located southwest of the intersection of West Hampton Avenue and North Wilson Drive, Milwaukee.
