OBRAites,

I live in Hood River and know these roads. It should be a great

course. And there isn't a better place to visit on a Saturday than

the Hood River area. Bring families and enjoy the Gorge! And thank

you Terri for bringing another great cycling event to our communitee.

Tre

 Hello Time Trialers--



Just wanted to give a quick update on the new Co-Motion Northwest

Time Trial

 Series Course for Saturday's race.



Again Directions to the new venue:

I-84 East to exit 87--which is 197 toward Dufur/Bend

Turn right at the stop sign at the end of the ramp toward Dufur/Bend

Turn Right in .2 of a mile toward the SE Frontage Road.

Follow this as it curves around (Big Jim's Drive Inn is on the

corner here)

 Follow Frontage Road as it curves up and becomes Fifteen Mile Road.

Pass Columbia View Road (on left)

Turn left onto 15 mile Road, following signs for Petersburg School.



Park in Petersburg School Parking Lot.



Many of you have been asking if the new course is a challenging as

the

 course in Philomath. Well, we have tried our best, but the final

decision is up

 to you! The new course will be a 30K, and though you might wish for

that

 extra 10K right now, if the wind is up, you will be kissing my boots

by the

 finish!



The route starts just out from the Petersburg School driveway on

Fifteen

 Mile Road. It continues east for just under 10.5 miles. The course

in this

 section follows a chip seal paved two lane country road. It has

three short

 steeper rollers at approximately miles 3, 6, and 8-none more than

3/10's of a

 mile in length, most averaging 5%. However, most of this section

is 0-3%. You

 should also have a tailwind.



The first turn is a right hand turn onto Kelly Cut-Off. This turn

marks the

 first significant climb of the route. This climb is .8 of a mile

long and

 averages 6-7%. The road flattens for a 20mph curve (a short flat

of .2 of a

 mile) and then climbs again for .6 of a mile--average grade 5%.

You will then

 have a descent into an intersection, through which you will

continue

 straight. Straight up a hill, which is short but steep. The climb

is .4 of a mile

 long, but has a quick rise to almost 9%. You will then have a 3

mile rolling

 descent, which, though windy (as in the wind will be a headwind)

should be

 fast.



At the bottom of this descent you will merge onto Eightmile road.

This

 section is also relatively flat (nothing more than 1-2%). You will

turn right at

 just under 18 miles, charge up a mean little hill ( very short, but

about

 6%) and finish just where you started, some 18.6 miles ago.



Any other questions, please send me an email.



Best

Terri
