I have spoken with Eric Tonkin and I feel compelled to point out that these
are not OBRA races or events. You should consider these similar to other
mountain bike rides with your friends which may involve some element of
competition. The property owner of this area is DOT and they have NOT given
permission to use the area. In general, DOT tolerates the use of the area
by cyclists but "outlaw" race or event may jeopardize that as well as other
things.
Eric and others are working on developing a short track weekday series.
Part of the difficulty is finding an appropriate venue and securing
permission to use it. Watch this space for more info.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Details on mtb short track event
I have received an enormous amount of emails in response to my original
inquiry about a weekly short track mtb event for next year in Portland.
Little did I know that some individuals have already begun some planning for
this exact type of event.
There will be some practice/training rides for short track mtb/cyclocross
racing taking place in a couple of weeks. The first date will be Wednesday,
August 6th around 6:30pm and will last for about an hour. The location will
be at the intersection of I-84 and I-205 just North of the park and ride on
the I-205 bike path. These training events will last through the middle of
September.
If you have interest in some hard training rides for the upcoming 'cross
season, or have interest in assisting with a possible mtb. short track
series for next year grab your helmet and bike of choice and head on out.
If you have any questions please contact Eric Tonkin at Sellwood Cycle
Repair.
**Eric has promised that Journey's Greatest Hits will be blaring from a
stereo in order to pump everyone up for some hard riding!!
