2014 Gorge Roubaix Race Info Posted

Good Morning OBRA Members!

This is a quick reminder to get registered for this weekend���s Gorge Roubaix race. We have an awesome event on tap for all of you! A couple of quick items to make sure you are up to speed.

First Dirty Fingers Bicycles is in the house this weekend!!! They will be on site with tons of tires and tubes that you can purchase right at the starting line or after you destroy that wimpy setup you though you could get by on Saturday. They will also be on site Sunday as well.

Second we are supplying bib numbers for the race. Those of you racing both days will only have to check in one time and use the same bib both days.

Third be sure and preregister! We will make sure those that are preregistered online for both days have the fasts line at packet pickup!!! So what I am saying is register online! Today!! Online registration closes at 7:00 PM tomorrow!!!

Fourth race guide is now available on the March OBRA Calendar at http://www.obra.org/flyers/2014/Gorge%20Roubaix%20Race%20Flyer%20Info%20%28Revised%203-1-14%29.pdf Lots of info there for you to review so please read thoroughly before emailing me questions.

Fifth weather is actually looking good if you are a fair weather rider. It is not looking so good if you were hoping for a spirit crushing, destroy yourself kind of an event. Rain tapering to light showers before 11:00 AM both days but temps all the way up into the upper 50���s and next to nothing for wind. Gravel roads are going to be screaming fast with no dust and tacky from the moisture.

Finally there are only a couple of rooms left at Cousins Country Inn so if you plan to stay the night book now to get the best rate in town, a free care package of pint glasses and socks and the hotel with the best breakfast restaurant in the Gorge I promise you. To book one of the last rooms go to www.cousinscountryinn.com

Thanks everyone for coming out and joining the party. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!

Sincerely,
Chad and Crew
