Don't miss out on what has been called one of the toughest gravel grinders on the West Coast. Epic climbs and descents deep, deep in the Coastal Mountains of Oregon. The final event in the Oregon Triple Crown series, many are 2/3rds of the way towards earning their exclusive finishers jersey, but how many will make it past this final challenge?

Your legs have a summer's worth of road racing and mountain biking in them and cyclocross season is about to begin, what better way to challenge yourself than to dust off the cyclocross machine (or 29'er) and put in some hard miles in preparation for the coming wet and muddy season.

The Oregon Coast Gravel Epic takes place at 8am on Saturday, August 23rd in Waldport, OR and the Abomination course features 10,000+ feet of climbing in 70 miles, while the Son of Abomination cuts that in half.

The Abomination course is the race course and features a $1,000 cash purse, medals for top three overall and winners of age group categories. Both courses are OBRA timed.

Register before midnight tonight (Aug. 11th) and you'll get a tech Tee event shirt. Price goes up on the 14th.
