I did the CAT 5 race. It was a bit nerve racking trying to avoid the skateboarders shown in the video, who were all over the road, and I almost took out the older couple walking against traffic as I rounded the bend and could not see them until the last moment. On the same corner earlier, a guy with two dogs tied together ran into the road from a side path and I went between him and his dogs running over the dog leash he thankfully dropped. Despite these near death occurrences, the worst moment of all was when I checked the results and my name was not listed.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I have contacted Portland Parks and Rec to see exactly what actions I can take to make sure we are all safe at ever race we do at Mt. Tabor.
2 solutions we will be using on Saturday are 1. The course marshals will have whistles to tweet and let people know each time riders are coming. 2. We will find a way to block the top of the course off with ribbon, rope, barbed wire....etc...
Any other suggestions, please send me an email.
Kevin Thompson
