The 2004 UO Road Race (Presented by UO Cycling and Collin's Cycle Shop)

has been updated. The course has been changed from the previous 20 mile

loop with gravel sections to an 11 mile, GRAVEL FREE loop. Leave your

armadillos at home and get ready to go fast. Course loop is mostly flat

with one mild hill. Staging area, start times, categories, and entry

fees will remain the same.



The road race is Saturday, April 17, with collegiate categories starting

at 9am, followed by OBRA categories at noon. This will be followed by a

collegiate-only team time trial. Sunday's crit will feature the same

course as this Sunday's Icebreaker Crit, and course distance will be

determined by time rather than laps (ie, 35 minutes +2 laps, etc). For

OBRA categories, the road race and crit are standalone events. For

college teams the weekend is part of the NWCCC season and is a points

omnium to help determine who qualifies for 2004 Collegiate Nationals.

Come early and cheer on the DUCKS!!!
