FW: Three Rivers Road Race - Possible fixed gear category

My apologies. My dear blind husband said that there was only a Masters 4/5
field on the flyer. I should have checked, rather then believing anything he
says.

Sigh

I have had more complaints from masters riders who were not 4/5 that there
was not an event for them at your race. Why would you choose to exclude
them?

Three Rivers Racing is making it a habit to listen and give the racing
community what it wants.

In response to complaints that there weren't enough road races available in
the summer we presented the first Woodland Road Race in late August of 2006.

Now, in response to disappointment that a fixed gear category wasn't able to
make it onto the schedule of the 2007 Cherry Pie race we would like to offer
a fixed gear category for the inaugural Three Rivers Road Race in Rainier,
OR on April, 22nd.

Rainier, Oregon is just across the river from Longview, WA. Approximately
one hour from Portland, OR and one and one quarter hours from Olympia, WA

In order for us to offer a fixed gear category we need at least ten fixed
gear preregistrations by the end of March so let your fixed gear friends
that aren't included in this distribution know about this, we want to make
it happen.

Thanks to our friends at the Athlete's Lounge, online preregistration is
available and easy:

We hope to see you out there.
