5th Wheel Cycling Team will be represented at the Kirkwood 9 to 5, an inaugural endurance mountain bike race put on by veteran Northern Calif. Kirkwood9to5race organizers Team Big Foot. 5th Wheel founders Dennis Lui and Vince Camiolo will be racing as a two-man team. Friend of the team, Matthew Sonetto will serve as team support.

In this format, teams of one to four complete as many laps on the 6+ mile course as they can within eight hours, one team member on the course at a time (a relay). This is the first race of this format for 5th Wheel.

Kirkwood, a Lake Tahoe-area resort, will host the eight hour relay event; what many hope will be an annual race.
