I think that since Mt. Hood Cycling Classic is now an NRC race with a $27,000!!! purse that the race should fall in alignment with the Cascade Classic and offer a 35+ Masters race instead of 40+.

Presents

2006 Mt. Hood Cycling Classic

May 31st to June 4th

I wanted to take the time to again thank everyone that attended last year?s event and helped to make it so successful. We appreciate your participation. We are now in full swing preparing for 2006. The web site has been updated (at least 90% updated) and registration is now open. You can find us at www.mthoodcyclingclassic.com We have some huge changes for 2006 that we are excited about. It is our hope that these changes will continue to improve this event and make for better quality racing for you the competitor.

Here are just a few of the things to look forward to.

    

   We moved up in our NRC ranking and are now an A level event with a 2.4 NRC value.   

   Overall prize list is now nearly $27,000!!!   

   Pro/Elite men and women have an extra stage to race making it a 5 day 6 stage race (check out the new fairly flat stage 2)   

   In an attempt to better assist with travel schedules, masters 40+, and CAT 3 men will no longer have to race the prologue. You will start on Friday!   

   Registration/packet pickup has been revamped and will run 10 times faster guaranteed!   

   New this year every registered rider will receive a pass into the post race BBQ celebration.

The community of Hood River and our wonderful sponsors are all very excited to host this event again. I continue to receive tremendous feedback throughout Hood River as to the fun and excitement it is to have racing at this level in their community.

Please keep in mind that categories will fill up so make sure and register early if you plan to attend. Last year the CAT 3 men filled up 5 weeks out and the Pro 1-2 Men filled 3 weeks out. We are anticipating another good turn out so do not wait until the last second to register. Also please book your lodging accommodations early. Cooper Spur has rooms available now but will not for long as does Hood River Inn. Both of these businesses have been tremendous supporters and have great accommodations. Be sure and tell them you are participating in the event as they have rooms specifically blocked for the race. Otherwise you will probably be told they are full. There info is on or web site under lodging.

Finally a little prize contest. To whomever the lucky persons are that register online 1st, 50th or 100th place will win a Mt. Hood Cycling Classic messenger bag made by Dakine. Way cool bag especially for heading to the office or classes for three lucky winners!

Thanks everyone and we look forward to seeing you on the starting line!

Sincerely,

Chad Sperry
