State Road Race Course

Candi Murray/Oregon Bicycle Racing Assn

2002-07-22





I had a chance to ride this course, it is really good for everyone. No

long steep hill, just some rollers. Juniors, Women and anyone on the fence

should come and see this course. The organizers are looking to incorporate

this course into a multiday event next year.



It will be hard for groups to pass in certain parts of the course and

because of this if there are less than 20 in any particular group we will

shorten the distance by 1 lao, if there are less then 10 (and there better

not be!!!) we will shorten the distance by 2 laps.



Come out and ride a part of the state we don't get to see on a regular

basis!!!



Email chad at the bottom and tell him you are coming!!!
