Hello everyone in OBRA land, don't forget the Santiam Pedalfest mountain
bike race this weekend. Evidently, there was some confusion on the snail
mail flyer as to what affiliation this race is with... it is an OBRA
event. It's also part of the Sobe series, so if you're wanting some
series points, come out and race. The weather should be in the high 70s
and there is no rain in sight :)

DIRECTIONS:
Mill City is located 30 miles East of Salem on Highway 22 (allow
45 minutes from Salem, 2 hours from Bend), Registration will be at
Kimmel Park. Turn at the Circle K, cross the bridge, turn left, and
follow the signs to the park. Extra parking will be available at the
high school. A directions map is available at our website.
LODGING:
For those that would like to get out and about a day early, there
are a few options. Racers can spend the night at Kimmel Park in Mill
City on the 8th, but they are only permitted to camp in tents. Only a
mile away from Mill City is the Fisherman's Bend Campground, and it is an
excellent spot to camp if any sites are available. Their phone number is
503-897-2406. For those that would like a little more comfort, the
Stayton Best Western (18 miles W of the race) can be reached at
503-769-9579. After all though, this race is up in the mountains, so
campgrounds are abundant.
