What a great weekend for a bike race! Chuck and I want to thank all who
raced, volunteered, officiated, supported or otherwise helped make the
Thump Coffee HDO race happen.

Thank you to our great sponsors who provided cash, prizes, primes and
general all around support...

- *Thump Coffee*
- *Galanda Broadman*
- *Deschutes Brewery*
- *Webcyclery*
- *Skratch Labs*
- *Pine Mountain Sports*
- *NY City Sub Shop.*

Big thanks to OBRA officials *Jordan Stables* and *Kenny Graham* for making
the trip over to officiate and keep us in line as well as *Bob Cutter*, *Molly
Cogwell-Kelley* and *Chuck Kenlan* our awesome local officials along with
*Devon* and *Jennie Alvarez* for their tireless work on scoring.

HUGE extra credit thanks to *Karen Kenlan* for all her work herding the
numerous volunteers it takes to make this race happen along with all the
volunteers who gave up a day to volunteer to keep bike racing alive in
Oregon.

We apologize the final omnium calculations took longer than
expected/desired and appreciate everyone's patience during that time.

The future of this race in 2018 is uncertain due to inability to permit the
road race at this time (too busy with cars, trailers and boats per the
Forest Service) along with ever increasing costs and declining
participation but will keep you informed. If you have any suggestions on
how to make the race better or get more people racing we are all ears.

Finally, I grabbed some photos from the TT and a few from the RR finish and
they can be found here
.
You can see how aero you are (or are not).

Put on your calendars the *2017 10 Barrel OBRA Crit Champs
* which will be
here in Bend on *8/6/17*.

Thanks again!
