I pre-rode part of this course on Teusday, and I must say that if you
can make it to this race, you most definately should.
The single-track is fantastic, and even the climbing is better than I
expected, as the roads almost more like dirt- double track in places
rather than just gravel. It's all very well shaded so the temp should be
cool.
It looks to be a very fine race. Lots of climbing, excellent smooth
twisty track with fun steeps, all very nice.
Just a heads- up for anyone considering going.
Happy Fourth!

The race route will be marked as of Friday around noon. Be prepared for
some more "challenging" sections, because there are some steep spots on
the descent. It is a short course, and there for very spectator
friendly (think cross on steriods). Walking up the road to the start
will provide ample opportunity to cheer your favorite riders on.
There was a typo on the directions from Portland. It has been fixed. I
listed the Salem Parkway exit as #268. It should be 260-B. It has been
fixed.
Regestration opens at 8. Sport and Beginners go off at 10:00 and 10:01.
