Top Ten Reasons to Race Track at Alpenrose:

10. Blocking is OK to do in the matched sprints.

9. Cat 3's often get to race in their own group, and Splinter knows who you
are.

8. No worrying if your wheel change is a 9-spd, 10-spd, or where the
support vehicle is.

7. There are no hills.

6. You never have to turn right.

5. There is a bell to remind you when to sprint.

4. Your race number is always on your LEFT side. (

3. The longest team time trial is a mere 4000m.

2. No matter how hard or far you ride, your car is right there in the
parking lot.

1. You can race on May 12 to support the Eric Kautzky Memorial Scholarship
Fund at Tigard High School (
