Tonight's start list has been posted!!! 

For those signed up:   http://consystency.net/obra/mhtt/Data/mhtt_2014_startlist_fri.htm

For those who need to sign up:           http://obra.org/events/22193/register 

Registration closes at 3:00pm tomorrow and the final starting list will be posted tomorrow evening. 

Good luck to everyone at Peoria!!!!!!!

---------------------------------------------

A gentle reminder that tomorrow (Saturday at 3:00pm ) on-line registration closes for good. 

An updated start list will be posted tonight and the final start list tomorrow evening. That list will be sent to the officials and pre-registration is done. 

Bring a camera for the vista like view atop the highest mountain in Oregon.  You'll want to selfie with you, the cascades, and your new OBRA championship medal. Ride fast, take selfie, post immediately, enjoy the view. 

We will have a limited number of gaps between categories for day-of registration in order to provide a better method for the officials to score categories.  

Day-of-registration is 8:30 - 9:30 sharp at the rest area. 

We will determine awards for categories with less than 5 riders after registration closes. 

Remember - anyone can race, but only season license holders are eligible for medals in recognized categories. 

Numbers are on the Left. 

There have been a couple of questions about the grade of the course.  The climb is just short of 2,000' over 6 miles, which one calculator showed to be 18% but another site notes an steady grade of 6 - 10%.  Come out with your techno-gear, win a medal, and tell everyone else how you rode up a 30% grade, on your 32 pound bike which only has a big-ring, and the brakes both drag. 

Speaking of gear. we will take any backpack of bag to the top when registration closes at 9:30 and we move to the top.  Offer to take care of this for us, and race for free! 

The pavement on West Leg Road is generally good though this is a service access road so beware of potholes or broken pavement in the shadows. There are a few paved divots along the way with minor gravel along the edges.  Also beware the road is generally not used, but we are not allowed to close the road so heads up as you ride. 

We will have orange cones where West Leg joins Hwy 173 as there are two large potholes on each side of the road. Exercise care when turning left for the final assent. Note, when turning LEFT onto Hwy173 stay to the left and do not cross lanes. Stay to the right  of the cones up to the summit finish.  

OBRA records for this course are:  

Men: Billy Truelove and Alex Newport-Berra, 25:11 (both tied for the record)
Women: Jenny Slawta, 29:22

This is an OBRA event, helmets are required at all times, you will ride from Timberline to Government Camp along the main Hwy 173 road. DO NOT DESCEND ON THE COURSE. Please exercise caution when riding up or down a mountain

Please thank our amazing OBRA officials!!!

For those signed up: Starting list #3  http://consystency.net/obra/mhtt/Data/mhtt_2014_startlist_wed.htm

For those who need to sign up:           http://obra.org/events/22193/register 

I just got back from checking out the course one last time and have confirmed that ��� the course is not flat

There will be a bit of an elevation gain on your ride to an OBRA championship medal 

4,000' to 5,900' over 6 miles equates to an average grade of 18% 

Good luck to everyone on Saturday. Have a great day and lots of fun, then join us Sunday for a 2nd day of championship racing.

Okay, here we go with Tuesday updates: 

For those signed up: Starting list #2  http://consystency.net/obra/mhtt/Data/mhtt_2014_startlist_tue.htm

For those who need to sign up:           http://obra.org/events/22193/register 

Some clarifications: 

The race clock begins at 10:00am at 00:00.  (The 9:30:00am start time on Monday was incorrect due to a bad formula). 

Pre-registraton ends at 3:00pm Saturday (there will be a couple of more start time postings before) the Final Start Times will be posted late Saturday afternoon

Day-of-Registration will be available, but only from 8:30am - 9:30am so we can begin on time. Start times are first-come-first-serve after the pre-registered riders so sign up early and be ready. 

Starting order is the newest registration to oldest.

* Numbers are on the left

* The race clock starts at 10:00 so you have time to drive out, warm up and have some fun. 

* The view from the finish area is phenomenal - or pack a lunch and consider a hike on the PCT or to the Palmer lift.
