Here is a description of the course

   . Located north of Madras between Hyw 26 and Hyw 97. It will pass

thru the town of Gateway. The parking area is located just two blocks

north of the intersection of N. Dogwood Ln and N. Adams Dr.(excelent

area with gravel next to the road) The course will be counterclockwise

starting at the corner of Dogwood. Follow Dogwood to N.E. Clark Dr. turn

north, following N.E. Clark Dr. becomes N.E. Clements Dr., N.E. Clements

becomes N.E. Gateway Ave into the town of Gateway(no services, except

hayseed, fertilizer) N.E. Gateway becomes N.E. Market St., N.E. Market

St. Becomes N.E. Juniper Ln. At N. Adams Dr. turn south and back to the

start area along N. Adams. This is a loop of 19.0 miles. Most of the

terrain is rolling, flat, with the exception of two downhills, and one

tortious uphill of 500'. Above the climb 3/4 mile of slight uphill on a

straight stretch of road (N.E. Juniper) is the proposed finish line.

This leaves the poor riders with a 7 mile cooldown back to the parking

area. It also makes the Pro1/2 107 miles.

Does anyone know where the State Championship Road Race is going to be

and what the course is like? Those of us in the south need to know if

it's worth our time planning for, you know sprinters allergic to hills.
