Wildcats Four Brett

On June 17, Wildcats Four Brett, a team composed of Scott Sherman, Jim Kodjababian, Jay Osborne and Scott Forman will begin their quest for victory in the Race Across the West (RAW). RAW is a non-stop, non-drafting 1,044 mile bike race from Oceanside, California to the mountains of Taos, New Mexico, in which the riders will encounter fatigue, extreme heat, cold temperatures and elevations in excess of 10,000 feet in their quest for victory. While the team has ambitions of returning to their former race glory, the real purpose is to provide a fitting tribute to another teammate, the late Brett Dobis and to raise money for the cure to Huntington’s Disease. Brett suffered from Huntington's Disease and passed away in 2005 at an early age. Brett is survived by his wife and two children. While Brett will certainly be racing with us in spirit, had he been here to race himself, he certainly would have insisted on riding the entire 1,044 miles himself.
