As race flyers get completed I will add hot links to the details you will
need (directions, etc).

I want to thank the following promoters for supporting us this year:

Jeff Lorenzen: Hood River Double Cross. The JCS has used this venue many
times (Hood River High School). It is a great venue and super well run
event. The perfect kick off for 2014.

Bill Goritski: Zandercross. Zandercross has a new venue this year just a few
minutes north across the Columbia. Think of "Estacada" like bowl/grass
awesomeness... Tireless velo knows how to promote events. I am looking
forward to this one.

Erik Vickers: Heiser Farms: Pumpkin Cannons, Tanks, Trains, Great Food..and
Oh Yea a great course / venue that has always drawn huge Junior Fields. This
is the event to bring the whole family too!

Brad Ross: We have two Cross Crusade events this year. The amazingly popular
Washington County Fair Grounds course in Hillsboro that drew 127 Juniors in
2013. That is huge! A great and balanced course for the TT power racer, and
folks who know how to turn their bike. The series final will be at the
amazing Deschutes Brewery course in Bend. This multi time Natz, and UCI
course is really fun with a mix of Grass, Pavement, and Central Oregon dirt.
Bend really goes out of their way to support this event and the Old Mill
district is right there for family members who need to fulfill their
shopping fix.

Ken McClarty: We will wrap up our Awards at the State CX Championships
[Peddlers at the Poor Farm (Edgefield)]. Although not an official part of
the series Ken/Edgefield puts on a great event and it is the perfect setting
for a great race, and awards. Fight for your championships in your age
category and then partake in the JCS/High School series awards. Edgefield/
McMenamins is a great family setting. A really cool venue.

Thank you promoters. It is going to be another great year!

Juniors..Start your training. Series Jersey's, medals, and SWAG await you in
your two year age categories.

High School teams: Pull together your High School team. Don't let Bend keep
that High School Cup. Who can topple the Central Oregon HS kids this year.
We cannot let them THREE-PEAT?

Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or input.

See you at Hood River on September 14th for the kick off!

Don't forget our great sponsors who make this series happen. Please give
them your patronage. They really care about Junior racing and are putting
their money/product out there to prove it!
