This coming Sunday (May 30th) is the Rehearsal Road Race. We have a
full day of racing for everyone to enjoy, including awarding State
Championships in four different categories (see text flyer and/or link
below). The State Championship Road Race follows a couple of weeks
later on June 13th.
I still need volunteers! If you (or a loved one) want to race for free,
just provide me with a couple/few hours of labor. I really need corner
marshals for both the morning and afternoon sessions. Let me know if and
when you can help out and I'll get you plugged into a slot.
The OBRA neutral support wheels will be at the race. We still need you
to bring spares! I won't reiterate what Mike Murray has stated
previously about neutral wheel support- other that to say if you don't
understand how wheel support works, go back and read his messages from
the past week- he's spot on.
Tandem Note: If you are planning on racing a tandem, please drop me a
note this week and let me know. I really want to ensure we have enough
to run this category.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that Bill Parker (formerly of Beckwith
Bicycles) will be present at both Rehearsal and the State Championship
races to offer his mechanical services on site for those in need. Bill
has opened Parker Frameworks at 7860 SE Foster Rd on 79th between Foster
& Harold streets. Parker is a custom frame builder specializing in
building frames, doing Steel frame repairs, tune ups and repairs on all
makes and models of bikes. You can reach Bill at 503 774-2441.

2004 Oregon State Road Championships
and
Rehearsal Road Race
The 2004 Oregon State Road Championships and Rehearsal Road Races will
take place this year in the Oregon City/ Canby area, re-visiting the
race course last used in the Oregon State Road Championships in 1998.
The course is designed to offer a little something for everyone; however
it places a premium on team racing and tactics. Each circuit is
approximately 11 miles in length, with a cumulative elevation gain of
about 575 feet.
