West End Bikes and Sellwood Cycle Repair are proud to present the 2014
Cyclocross Grand Prix. This year, the Grand Prix is honored to have Ryan
Trebon as the namesake host. If you have been around cyclocross racing for
more than a few years, you know that Ryan is a past National CX Champ,
current PRO, and one of the most loved local racers. Chances are that you
will see him at the races listed below.
The Grand Prix Ryan Trebon (GPRT) is a Cyclocross Series composed of six
independently promoted CX races. These great independent races kick off in
August and run through the beginning of October. Riders from any state are
welcome to race the GPRT. Series overall awards, prizes and raffle will be
handed out at the GPRT series end party, on Oct. 5th at Portland Bicycle
Studio.

fliers. Save time by printing out an OBRA waiver

Individual races: Look for flier links soon.
