Hi,



Just a quick note to thank Mike and Candi Murray for promoting and hosting

the Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge this past weekend. As a participant and a

spectator it was excellent. The weather was great, the riders fast, and the

atmosphere was fun. If you missed the race you missed a lot at the

Alpenrose Challenge. They had a live band, great food, merchants selling

all things bike related, and a great set of races to watch. I believe at

least three track records were broken over the weekend. In a time where

there is a lot of pain the Challenge was a bright light on all of the good

things in our sport.



Mike and Candi are obviously instrumental in the direction of OBRA and what

a positive direction it is heading. Record membership and some of the best

racing venues in the country. Other places may have a "race" but Oregon and

OBRA has:



one of the best track events in the country: The Alpenrose Velodrome

Challenge,

the best Cyclo Cross series in the country: The Cross Crusade,

some of the best stage racing in the nation: Columbia Plateau, Mount Hood,

Elkhorn, Cascade, Co-Motion, Eugene Celebration,

some of the best weekly series found anywhere: with Mount Tabor, PIR, and

the track,

excellent mountain bike racing and road races,

and as we are finding out a cycling community that truly cares about its'

members.



Thanks for the ride.

Sincerely,

Nathan Hobson
