I think if it wasn't so easy to race in Portland during the week, we would see a lot more guys wanting to race on the weekends. I don't think the cost is a big factor. If this was the only real fast race to ride in over the next few weeks more riders would be inclined to make the journey. It would be better if the spring race training series didn't started until June like in other parts of the state.

multiple emails have asked me to come, i just explained why im hesitant to make the journey. you want more peopel to come to your race, one step is to lower the race fee, pracital or not it's just an idea.
and there was no reduced registration price adverstised, that's really a bummer if this existed.
sorry if this came off as whining.
2008/5/2 :
It is the same as Kings Valley if you did not preregister.
Inflation occurs everywhere. Have you noticed what a 10 speed cogset costs versus a 9 speed? Prices keep going up, and expect the cost of races to go up as well. Also, in races that have a smaller exepcted number of participants, the fees need to be higher to break even.

"great show" or not $30 is a steep reg fee.

The Southern Oregon crew puts on a great show.
Those in Portland/Salem/Eugene/Bend should carpool down and either
camp or stay overnight.
Remember you can also do the combo:
Saturday Spring Thaw, Sunday Table Rock.
Table Rock IS an Oregon Cup race.
