What:
2007 - Seize the summer...race your bike on Monday night

Whether you¹re a beginning or experienced cyclist, you¹ll love racing at
Portland International Raceway (PIR). One of the most popular weeknight
bicycle race series in the nation, The Lakeside Bicycles Monday Night
Masters and Women Race Series runs May-August. The Monday night series

traffic-free race course that¹s fun for everyone.

Races are divided into separate categories of novice masters men (aged 30+),
novice women, 2 categories for more experienced masters men and an open
women category for women of any age including juniors. There are even
experienced racers standing by to provide guidance and answer questions if
you need help. All that¹s required is a helmet, a road bike and a sense of
adventure.

before the first race mail, online or at first race (May 7th). Purchase
online at www.orbike.com. Individual season passes are non-transferable and
non-refundable (after May 1st 2007.)

Team:
Get your team together and pay only $12/race (regular entry is $13/race)
when you buy a pass for 5 or more entries before the first race. The pass
can used by any combination of team members? each team member just signs in

will keep track of passes used. Save time and have one member of your team
purchase this pass by mail before the first race. Also available at
registration at first race of the season only. Non-refundable, fully

Why is Team pass more expensive than Individual pass?
It takes a considerable amount more management time with the team passes to
count process and track. Along with contacting teams to inform them of how
many races they have left, etc. Thanks for understanding!
