BLUE RIDGE Mountain Bike Race



Part of the 2001 Sobe OBRA Oregon Off-Road Series



Sunday, August 26, 2001



Coos Bay, Oregon



New Course this year. Pure singletrack heaven. Practice your passing, boys, cause there?s no double track here! All courses are about 90% technical singletrack. We also eliminated the huge climb, it?s all on top of the ridge.



SANCTIONED BY OBRA (The Oregon Bicycle Racing Association)



CATEGORY:          DISTANCE:        START-TIME: PRE-REG FEE: DAY OF REG FEE:



PRO/EXPERT   19miles (both loops) 10:00 a.m       $20/$10(jr)        $25/$15(jr)



SPORT             12 miles (big loop)    10:05 a.m       $20/$10(jr)       $25/$15(jr)



BEGINNER        7 miles (little loop)    10:10 a.m       $20/$10(jr)       $25/$15(jr)



Entry fee note: I will not tax the slower riders to pay the faster ones ? that?s crap. I will not waste my time and effort to give away a bunch of useless junk - we all have enough Mythos tires. I might give out some goodies you will actually use. I WILL put on a fun, challenging race with reasonable entry fees. It will be worth the trip out to the coast.
