Mt. Hood Cycling Classic

Hello Fellow OBRA Members,

I have received some requests about current course access for the Mt.
Hood Cycling Classic especially with 2 new stages. Currently all
courses except for stage #5 are open. Roughly 5 miles of FS road 44 and
5 miles of FS road 48 are still buried under snow. I anticipate at the
current melt rate they should be open in a couple of weeks. The other
stages are open and rideable. Two things to note however. First if you
head to The Dalles to ride stage #2 be aware that there is no parking at
Petersburg school or the drive into it. You will need to park at the
finish area were 8-mile road and Emerson Road meet. The new time trial
course is closed to motor vehicles the last 6 miles so you can not drive
that section you will have to ride it. Other than that everything looks
good. Thanks and good luck to all of you this spring!

Sincerely,
Chad Sperry
