GPRT opener - ‘David Douglas CX Race #1’ (Vancouver, WA) Saturday, Aug. 30th

We’re all set for the first CX race of the Grand Prix Ryan Trebon. It looks
like a great weekend for ‘cross. The weather guessers are hinting at cooler
weather. We wanted to put out a few reminders about this coming event.

- REGISTRATION – Online pre-registration for the race closes this Friday
8/29 at 5:00pm. The online GPRT pass sales will also end at the same time.
You will be able to purchase both at the race on Saturday.
- *DAY OF RACE REGISTRATION - Registration* opens at 8:00am and closes
15 minutes before each race. Please schedule enough time for registration,
especially if you still have to purchase an OBRA license and pick up your
CX number.
- OBRA Membership - BRING YOUR OBRA MEMBERSHIP CARD! This will be
required to register. If you forget it, you will need to buy a one day
license or prove membership.
- LOCATION - The race will be held in *VANCOUVER, WA at David Douglas
Park*. Check the flier for detailed directions.
- NO ALCOHOL allowed at the city Park. We’ll have all the beer you need
at Ninkrossi (Sept.27th).
- PARKING - There is no parking allowed along Garrison, you will be
towed. If the main lots fill up, you can park in the Garrison Square lot, a
few blocks south. Please stay off all ball fields.

After the first race, call-ups will be based on series points (See the GPRT

be good for all GPRT races and the Cross Crusade races. Bring your
2014 OBRA card for
registration.

year, so choose your category wisely.

little easier for the first CX race of the year. The BIG run-up will be
there Oct. 25th!
