You know, all those volunteers
that help out on race day!
Brian Joder
I started racing the Series
on it's second year (1996). That same year I also started helping
out with course set-up and clean up. On about the third year of the
Series VENTANA Mountain Bikes USA who had started the Series and had
provided the staff for the event was stretched a bit thin and could
not keep the Series going. Myself and a fellow racer at the time,
Dave Comerchero, took on the job. We ran the Series jointly until
2004 when Dave had a personal tragedy in his life that prevented him from
being involved. I have been in charge of the Series since then. The
success of the Series is because of my volunteer staff. Without the
help of these volunteers this event would not happen. Please THANK
THEM for the job they do! When I'm not working on the Race Series my
other interests are here.

Diane Cressey
As most
of you know, among many other duties, I’m the one who takes your
cash on race day. I love this job because I get to see and say
hello to everyone!! It is such a privilege to assist my
boyfriend, Brian, in making the Prairie City Race Series the best it
can be. After arriving at
Prairie City at about 2pm, while Brian and Andy set up the course, I
set up registration to make sure it will run smoothly for the
volunteers and racers. I absolutely love working the
races…it’s so rewarding to see all your smiling faces and know
you’re having fun!! I really miss the Series and all you racers
when the season is over.
My real job is training people to get fit! I’m a personal trainer.
I specialize in fitness training and performance nutrition,
including cycling specific training. If you’re interested, please
visit my website for details. I look forward to seeing you at the
next race!! Ride on!

Andy Klaiber
Andy is a
computer guru and is responsible for the scoring software he
designed specifically for this Series. Without it, I would spend
hours and HOURS scoring each week. He also helps set up the course
and usually the one who gets the task of taking down the course at
the end of the days racing. He is an indispensable helper each week
and I depend on him greatly.
Chad Martin
"FunChad"
really says it all, but in a nutshell, I'm a local boy (Class of '89
from Casa Roble) who didn't find mountain biking until 2000. Since
joining up with the Folsom Breakouts, I've enjoyed meeting great
people, getting away from the daily grind with weekly rides, and
sharing energy with like-minded folks. I'm a graduate of SDSU with
degrees in Real Estate and Finance. I've been working in the real
estate field since the Fall of 1989, and opened my own office in
2000. My firm specializes in residential and commercial sales and
purchases, specialty financing, and short-term investments.
Though I absolutely love what I do to pay my bills, I also enjoy
volunteering for the PCRS and look forward to taking on the
marketing/sponsorship duties for the Series as a hobby.
Mary Ellis
I am both a roadie and MT biker who loves
endurance events. I'm a Folsom BREAKOUT and I'm marrying Devin
Bautista in September - I met him out here at the Prairie City
races! Currently I work in Folsom as a Dental Hygienist. One of my
other interests is water skiing.
Sue Sharp
This is my second year as a volunteer at
the Prairie City Races I've lived and worked in Folsom for the
last five years now and would come out to the Prairie City Races to
watch one of our other now volunteers, Mary Ellis, race. I enjoyed
the excitement so much I wanted to be apart of the behind the scenes
action. The kid races our my favorite part of the season. I love
seeing our future riders giving it all they got.

There are a lot
more to add... stay tuned!
