Subject: [OBRA Chat] 2015 Cyclocross Grand Prix Rhonda Mazza
West End Bikes and Sellwood Cycle Repair are proud to present the 2015 Cyclocross Grand Prix.
This year’s installment of the Grand Prix will honor Rhonda Mazza!
Rhonda started racing (and winning) the Cross Crusade with toe clips and running shoes.
In the 2007 World Championships she was the second placed American (behind Katie Compton), finishing eleventh and on the lead lap.
She raised the bar for OBRA women's cyclocross and provided inspiration to a host of local elite racers.
For a decade she was the top Oregon racer and remained humble and supportive to the very people she was competing against. Chances are that you will see her at the races listed below.
The Grand Prix Rhonda Mazza (GPRM) is a cyclocross series composed of five independently promoted races.
Racers from any state are welcome to race the GPRM. Series overall awards and prizes will be handed out at the GPRM series end party in October at Portland Bicycle Studio.
Come experience some amazing cyclocross courses, competitive racing and exciting race venues!
