Hello

As all of you know a tasty 87 mile Gran with 5 Miles of Gravel and or a 69
Mile medio awaits you this Saturday.

We have TJ's BBQ Blues and Three Creeks beer to bring some Central Oregon
into the mix and this is good food, combined with Free massage for
all....winner winner Chicken Dinner. Winner may be a repeat from Billy
Trulelove...or Rob English back after an extended attack with Stephen
Rockwood. The main goal of a Gran fondo is Fun...yes people go fast, and we
do Flag the left hand turns and also have Medical Support on this remote
course from Adventure Medics.

Event time is 8am Saturday to allow you to relax the rest of the weekend
with your family....Round 2 of the Oregon Triple Crown!

3 well stocked aid station along the way for the Gran and 2 for the Medio!

Whats the course like....EPIC of course with 6700 ft or 4000 ft of climbing
in the Middle of the Coast Range. We even have Camping the night before.

This is my silly old attempt to bring adventure into Road Racing...rules of
the road and dont be a ____ is the name of the game as we roll 200 or so
strong at the start with Dave campbell announcing the Finish back in
Bellfountain.

Packet pickup 3-5:30 Thursday in Corvallis and registration at Corvallis
Cyclery
More packet pickup 5-7 pm At Bellfountain park.... and in the am from 6am
until 7:30 am. NO parking at the park Saturday...only on Reece Creek
rd...close to the start.
No public urination please...New staging area and these are my neighbors!

Welcome to my home area at the Willamette Gran Fondo...thanks to CO-Motion
Cycles and Rolf Prima Wheels and Corvallis Cyclery for making this happen.

Mike, Family and crew
