Course: Pavement is good to excellent overall, starting with two (2)
smooth wide shouldered miles along the Scenic George Hwy, before turning
onto Larch Mt. road for three (3) miles of rollers before a steady slow
burn climb over the remaing 14.1 miles through old growth forest. Course
climbs 3,000' over the 16.4 mile total. The summit finish park features
an amazing and breathtaking view and is yours for a 300m walk up a paved
and gravel path from finish. Note: The final 50m to the summit includes
stairs but is worth the time and definitely the view.
Details: Descents on Larch can be cold and wet, be prepared. Plastic
bags will be provided or riders can bring their own gear (backpack food,
clothing, etc) for transport up to the summit for their return decent
back to the staging area. Riders needing assistance returning to the
staging area should contact the promoter prior to the event so
arrangements can be made.
Cost: Pre-registration is $15 ($5 per Junior, $20 per Tandem) and must
be postmarked one week (7 days) prior to race day.
Non-Pre or Day-of registration is $20 ($5 for Juniors, $25 for Tandems).
Pre-register and get your start time - then show up at your start time
and race. For all other riders, registration is opened from 8am - 9am
with category start positions filled on a first-come basis. Sign up
early as once all category positions are filled, non-pre-registration
riders will receive start times after all other riders.
Note: Proof of OBRA membership required. One day OBRA pass available for
$5. OBRA license waived for out of state.

Prizes: Ribbons are awarded 3 deep for all categories meeting the 5
entry minimum. Promoter reserves the right to combine fields for awards,
however scoring will remain by original category (since that's what OUCH
is all about)
Requirements: This is an OBRA sanctioned event. Helmets must be worn at
all times. This is a rural community inviting us to race. Please
exercise common sense, etiquette, and rules of the road. Permits are for
racing up the mountain only. Your return trip MUST follow the rules of
the road. Please contact the race organizer about any questions.
For Bicycle Racing's Future: You're an ambassador of our sport, please
act accordingly. Riders who blatantly disregard OBRA rules and conduct
will be sanctioned as deemed appropriate by the race organizer and chief
official.
