I agree, these are fantastic races! Great courses, challenging, and with beautiful views in a great town (Maupin).

I talked to George, the promoter, and he has been rather light on the promotion side of things this year in particular. But the race is on April 28-29, the three classic stages:

The "triangle" north out of Maupin to Tygh Valley, down to Shearer's Falls and back along the Deschutes, 26 miles 1500 vertical

The hillclimb south from Maupin, gradual 8 mile windy climb, 1800ft gain total

The crown jewel, Bakeoven Road out and back, 46 miles with 3300 vertical, starts and finishes with a 4 mile switchbacked climb/descent. Wind can be challenging.

All stages start from right next to Imperial River Company on the Deschutes, where most racers stay (and eat).
There is more info through the Race Across Oregon website, but more current is their Facebook page, with links to RideWithGPS maps of all courses.

Registration is through BikeReg.

Hope to see some of you there!
