1.The Master's Race will honor Mr. Clark Henry, long time OBRA member, and
his last bike race was the Hammer Velo Crit a few years ago..Last year we
started the first annual Clark Henry Masters race and his family brought him
out to the race, it was great to see him sitting at the finish line with a
smile on his face..He loved to race his bike..So all you Masters guys, put
in a good hard effort for Clark on Saturday...
2..Lets Race Bikes is part of the race again this year..which is awesome,
