The Portland Trophy Cup is back for the second year, coming at you from Portland International Raceway. Expect a fast and exceptionally well lit course that will test your early season fitness and cornering skills. This year���s series starts up Tuesday September 1st and runs six consecutive weeks through October 6th.
Pre-Registration and Number Pick Up Party:
Due to this being a weekday race, it is HIGHLY recommend that you pre-reg to save time the day of the race. To incentive this, pre-reg cost is $18 per race or $108 for a series package that includes this year���s t-shirt and gifts from our sponsors. Race day registration is $22 per race. You can pre-reg for the season or individual nights right here: http://www.portlandtrophycup.com/register
If online reg is not your thing or you already registered (thank you!), we will be having a kick-off party & number pick up at Portland Bicycle Studio (15th and Raleigh in NW) Friday August 28th from 6-8pm. We will be serving beer or coffee for those teetotalers. Not registering for the series? Still come and pick up your number (and hang out with us), it���ll make day of registration that much easier.
Volunteers are always needed for teardown after the night���s racing. You can sign up on the website and your night���s racing entry will be covered: http://www.portlandtrophycup.com/volunteer
Portland Bicycle Studio will be hosting a clinic before the racing starts each night to get new riders ready for the season. Clinic skills will build each week and be specific to the challenges of that week���s course. Our goal is to prepare you for the course you will see in each evening���s race. Info is available here: http://www.portlandtrophycup.com/clinic
The race day (night) schedule will be changing slightly from last year to response to the feedback that we received. Beginner, C & B Women will have their own start time, and a prime slot at that. No more racing with the dudes! Master C and Master B men will have an earlier start time but if they are unable to make that start, they���ll have the opportunity to race the open C & B races immediately following. The A & Singlespeed races are pushed back slightly to accommodate this, hopefully you big kids can stay out a little past your bedtimes.

We have over $6000 in prizes from Rapha, Portland Bicycle Studio and PDW for the top 3 series finishers of each category. There will be cash payout on the night to both the Cat A men's and Cat A women's fields and expanded for this year is the holeshot competition; the Singlespeeds as well as both A fields will be taking home $50 each night.
