Cyclocross: Oregon riders on world team



Sixty percent of the men's elite team that will represent the United States

on Jan. 28-29 at the UCI world championships are Oregonians.



The five-man contingent announced Friday includes Ryan Trebon and Barry

Wicks of Corvallis and Erik Tonkin of Portland. Trebon earned automatic

nomination to the team based on a top-50 ranking in the UCI standings, and

Wicks earned an automatic nomination as the top U.S. rider in the 2005 Crank

Brothers U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross series.



Rhonda Mazza of Portland is a member of the elite women's team, and Adam

McGrath of Portland is a member of the five-man under-23 team.



The world championships will be held in Zeddam, The Netherlands.

Cyclo-cross World Championships



Folks,

   As many people have read here and in the newspaper, 5 racers from

Oregon have been selected to compete at the Cyclo-cross World

Championships in the Netherlands this year. A couple of these

racers have sponsorship or Federation support that pays for this

trip. For most, being selected to the team means that they will be

paying somewhere over $2000 out of their own pocket. That does not

include taking a week and 1/2 off from work. All the racers know

that they will have to pay to attend, but it is still a significant

expense. This cost includes airfare, lodging, and a fee to USA Cycling.

   If you would like to donate money to support these local racers,

please send a check to OBRA with a note on the letter or check

indicating it is for cyclo-cross worlds. OBRA will give all the

donated money to the local racers that are going. As an added

bonus, the donation is tax deductible.

Please send to:

OBRA

P.O. Box 16355

Portland, OR 97292



Thanks, Jon
