The second part of the championships is only 2 1/2 weeks away. I wanted to let everyone know that for both the Senior Men and Senior women race we will be supplying the Championship Jersey and Vest for the winners. This race is open to all men and women with an valid annual OBRA membership. We will not be doing the Tandem class this race. The championship Categories for this race will be the following; Senior Men: 105 miles, 10:00am start Senior Women: 60 miles, 10:05am start Men Masters: 40-49, 50-59 and 60+ :45 miles, 10:15am start Women: Cat 4, Masters 30-39, 40-49 and 50+ :45 miles, 10:20am start The Non-Championship categories for this race will be the following, these will get prizes and cash. Men Cat 3/4/5: 45 miles, 10:10am start Juniors 15-18: 30 miles, 1:00pm start (registration will end at noon, after 10:00 go to the finish line at the top of Doan Road and find me) Juniors 10-14: 15 miles, 1:00pm start (registration will end at noon, after 10:00 go to the finish line at the top of Doan Road and find me) It would be helpful to know if any juniors plan on making the race, we need to set up drivers and officials. Send me an email if you are pretty sure you are coming. We may switch some start times around in the morning do to the Senior Men going 105 miles, I will send out an email if it happens and have it posted at registration. If you pre-register you are guaranteed a Custom Oregon Championship Burley Musette Bag complete with a Clif Bar and Clif Shot, if you don't you will need to be one of the first 85 people to register day of race. You can register online at www.orbike.com, there is a $1.42 charge, bring your registration receipt with you. We are in need of volunteers, if you supply one you get a free entry and they get a custom Burley Musette bag with a lunch. If they are a driver for one of the classes they will be reimbursed for gas. I need to know ASAP so I can touch base with them to let them know what they would be doing. I cannot guarantee that I will need volunteers or that you will get a free entry the day of race if I don't know beforehand. The Directions to Staging area were a little bit off last time so here is the corrected version. I hope this helps clear things up a little more. Take I-5 to exit 195B and head west on Beltline Hwy and follow it to the intersection at Hwy 126. Take a right on Hwy 126 (heading West). Take a left (south) on Greenhill road, there is a stop light and gas station on the NE corner, as well as a sign that directs you to Crow. In about 1/4 mile or less it turns into Crow Road, continue for approximately 8 miles to Crow High School, which is on the right at 25863 Crow Rd. Drive time from Portland/Bend/Medford is approx 2 1/2 hours. FYI, We will have water this time at the finish line, sorry about that last time. Awards and medals will also be at the finish line, all championship winners will need to be around to get pictures taken. If you won your championship during the Rehearsal RR and would like to have your picture taken on the podium please find me at the finish so we can set it up. We also plan to have more registration volunteers so that should go a little smoother and quicker this time as well. I still have prizes for people who raced in a cash/prize race last weekend. I will try to bring them to Mt. Hood so if you get a chance look me up and I will give it to you then, if you were top 5 in most classes, I am staying at Toll Bridge Campground in a 24' Motor Home and will have a Kona Pop-up canopy in front of it. If you won't be there send me an email and we will work out how to get it to you. Time To Ride, Richard Sweet Race Director |
