Racers,
We've been in a mad scramble the last six days. Please read our notes on the four events listed in the subject line for recent race calendar updates and changes.

Dirty Circles (Cancelled)
I have bad news about the venue at Dirty Circles in Woodland. Dike road has been damaged by ongoing heavy truck traffic from a sand and gravel operation that will be going on for the next 18 – 24 months (see attached photos). I was up at the site last week inspecting the road and it is overwhelming how bad it is. With the time of year and expected ongoing traffic, I don't see the county doing timely repairs within the next 5 weeks to make it safe for racing.
With the damage to the roadway, the venue is not viable for the present and near future. We'll say goodbye to this venue for good.

For the current registered racers, you will receive a refund shortly.

Jack Frost TT
With the loss of the Woodland venue, we're going do all we can to resurrect this event. I have the venue booked for Sunday March 5th, 2017 (Sunday Feb 26th is already booked by the rescheduled Vancouver Lake Half Marathon). I'm working on the WDOT and city permits right now. We have designed a new 20k course, but need get through the permitting process to be sure that it's acceptable.

Date: Sunday March 5th, 2017.
Course length: 20k (12.43 miles)
Elevation gain: 384 ft.

Online registration is currently being set up and we hope to have a flier out to you all soon. Stay tuned.

Piece of Cake RR
To fill the void created by the loss of Dirty Circles we have been working hard to find a replacement venue. We've settled on a new road race course SE of Aurora, OR. I spoke with the traffic engineer at Clackamas County and had a very positive response to the course design and event. I still need to get a TCP and permit figured out but all lights look green for the new venue/event. This will be a one day event. As for the name, Dirty Circles doesn't have much relevance to the area or event. We thought since the resurrection theme was in action, we would bring back the Piece of Cake name. Also, it seems appropriate for the relatively flat course.

Date: Sunday March 19th, 2017.
Course length: 13.3 miles per lap
Elevation gain: 320 ft. per lap

We hope to have online registration, a flier, and much more info soon.

Silverton RR
We had hoped to bring you all a new road race this season with the ‘Onehorse RR’ in Lebanon, OR, but with these recent changes it seems more reasonable to pursue an easier venue/course. We will replace the ‘Onehorse RR’ on Saturday May 13th with the classic ‘Silverton RR’ course. We will move the race in Lebanon to the back burner and look to 2018 for a launch date.

Date: Saturday May 13th, 2017
Course length: 17.4 miles per lap
Elevation gain: 1475 ft. per lap

Online registration, a flier, and much more info coming soon.

Thanks for your patience, support and understanding,

All of this just underscores how much our race promoters do for us. Thanks for everything, David!

Ps. I still stand behind statement that D.C. were ridiculously short races:)

David, this puts into great perspective how hard our promoters are working
and just what it takes to put on events. Thank you for all you (and all the
other promoters) do for us.

So good to see Silverton and Piece of cake races on the calendar.
Silverton is one of the best road venues in the west.
Thank you!
Matt.

Racers,

We've been in a mad scramble the last six days. Please read our notes on
the four events listed in the subject line for recent race calendar updates
and changes.

*Dirty Circles (Cancelled)*

I have bad news about the venue at Dirty Circles in Woodland. Dike road has
been damaged by ongoing heavy truck traffic from a sand and gravel
operation that will be going on for the next 18 – 24 months (see attached
photos). I was up at the site last week inspecting the road and it is
overwhelming how bad it is. With the time of year and expected ongoing
traffic, I don't see the county doing timely repairs within the next 5
weeks to make it safe for racing.

With the damage to the roadway, the venue is not viable for the present and
near future. We'll say goodbye to this venue for good.

For the current registered racers, you will receive a refund shortly.

*Jack Frost TT *

With the loss of the Woodland venue, we're going do all we can to resurrect
this event. I have the venue booked for *Sunday March 5th, 2017* (Sunday
Feb 26th is already booked by the rescheduled Vancouver Lake Half
Marathon). I'm working on the WDOT and city permits right now. We have
designed a new 20k course, but need get through the permitting process to
be sure that it's acceptable.

Date: Sunday March 5th, 2017.

Course length: 20k (12.43 miles)

Elevation gain: 384 ft.

Online registration is currently being set up and we hope to have a flier
out to you all soon. Stay tuned.

*Piece of Cake RR *

To fill the void created by the loss of Dirty Circles we have been working
hard to find a replacement venue. We've settled on a new road race course
SE of Aurora, OR. I spoke with the traffic engineer at Clackamas County and
had a very positive response to the course design and event. I still need
to get a TCP and permit figured out but all lights look green for the new
venue/event. This will be a one day event. As for the name, Dirty Circles
doesn't have much relevance to the area or event. We thought since the
resurrection theme was in action, we would bring back the Piece of Cake
name. Also, it seems appropriate for the relatively flat course.

Date: Sunday March 19th, 2017.

Course length: 13.3 miles per lap

Elevation gain: 320 ft. per lap

We hope to have online registration, a flier, and much more info soon.

*Silverton RR*

We had hoped to bring you all a new road race this season with the
‘Onehorse RR’ in Lebanon, OR, but with these recent changes it seems more
reasonable to pursue an easier venue/course. We will replace the ‘Onehorse
RR’ on Saturday May 13th with the classic ‘Silverton RR’ course. We will
move the race in Lebanon to the back burner and look to 2018 for a launch
date.

Date: Saturday May 13th, 2017

Course length: 17.4 miles per lap

Elevation gain: 1475 ft. per lap

Online registration, a flier, and much more info coming soon.
