The 2014 Oregon Triple Crown Series includes the long courses of three classic dark30 sports events: the Gran route at the Oregon Gran Fondo (June 1, Cottage Grove), the Alpine route at the Tour of Aufderheide (July 13, Westfir), and the Abomination route at the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic (August 23, Waldport/Yachats).
These rides are among the most challenging in Oregon and require more than 290 miles of hard cycling and 21,000+ feet of climbing. Those who are up to the challenge of finishing all three long courses in 2014 Series win title, jersey and the lifetime benefits accorded Oregon Triple Crown Series honorees . We reward and honor those who commit now and are then able to follow through. All Oregon Triple Crown finishers are invited to an exclusive ceremony where jerseys will be presented and we will cap off the evening with an exclusive finishers raffle featuring a Rolf Prima wheelset and a made to order Co-Motion "Klatch" frameset.
Each event in the series follows a "fondo" format of racing categories, $1,000 cash purse for top 3 male/female, team competition, Hill climb competitions with KOM/QOM honors, fully stocked aid stations, included meal and Oakshire ale after the beer garden celebration, raffles and prizes. This is an OBRA sanctioned event. A dark:30 sports production presented by Rolf Prima and Co-Motion Cycles. For complete info please visit http://dark30sports.com/
