Another great weekend of cross out at Hood River this weekend and the fun continues with Zaaldercross this Saturday. Come on out and earn some valuable call-up points for the Alpenrose Crusade kick off or just solidify your spot in the highly contested GP series. You will not want to miss this great new course and venue. We've been getting a lot of questions so here's a little FYI. Feel free to contact me if there's more you need to know:
1. Alderbrook Park is a privately owned park and as such has a number of rules. They've been gracious enough to host us at a reduced rate because the race is a charity event. We would love to keep this race going so please, please be respectful of the grounds.
No peeing except in the potties!
No Pets(sorry).
No Parking in the main roundabout
The staff of Alderbrook would like to invite all racers back the following weekend for their awesome Oktoberfest Bash. OBRA racers receive a discount!
2. Team Tents: I've updated the map on the race site to reflect where team tents are to be. https://zaaldercross.squarespace.com/the-course/
Unfortunately, there is another event taking place on friday at the park which means no tents until saturday morning.
3. Pre-riding: See number 2, sorry no pre-rides on friday
4. The course looks great, the weather forecast(for now) is great. There'll be food, snacks, beer, and great racing. Bring the family........there's a maze, a pirate ship, and even a petting zoo!
5. Remember winners get a sweet Zaaldercross t-shirt and gift certificates from BOGS
6. Buy lots of raffle tix for a shot at some seriously cool swag(like a SRAM CX1 drivetrain) and to help us raise funds for p:ear
