RE: Mt. Hood Cycling Classic now NRC but still Master 40+ Unlike Cas

The 2006 Cascade Cycling Classic, July 12-16, will have a combined

35+/45+ Category. The prize money will remain the same, unless someone

wants to kick in some more dinero.



Also, as of right now, we are planning on running a Saturday afternoon

and twilight downtown crit for all categories.



Registration should be open springtime-ish, maybe sooner. Heck, it's

January. Go skiing.



Stay tuned.

   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+.

     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.

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

       2.4 NRC value.

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

       c.. 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)

       d.. 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!

       e.. Registration/packet pickup has been revamped and will run 10 times

       faster guaranteed!

       f.. 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

Hmmm, seems like if guys older than 35 can do the Tour De France with

the elites, they can do Hood with the pro 1/2 field too. Just a thought.

I'd say keep it 40+, not that what I think matters mind you. :)
