OBRA site downtime

Hi everybody,

In case you're not following @orbicycleracing on Twitter, I wanted to let you know that the OBRA server (website and mailing lists) were down for about three hours tonight. Our hosting provider experienced a DDOS attack which prevented anyone from reaching it over the internet. Our provider's network engineers needed to work with their upstream internet provider to eventually fend off the attack. They're professional folks who host us for free because they like bikes, and the reason we've had great uptime over the years.

Attacks like this are unpredictable and may reoccur, but for now, Alpenrose results are at https://obra.org/events/21533/results
