This is a final reminder that the upcoming OBRA Time Trial Championships are a pre-registration only event. The deadline of Wednesday, August 1, is only two days away. Based on the number of registrations received so far there appears to be a fair number of procrastinators out there, so please register now if you are planning doing the event. Since the registration needs to be received by that time, please register online from now on.
A preliminary start list will be published on Thursday and a final start list on Friday via the OBRA list-serve and at www.emeraldvelo.org .
Finally, direct any future questions to me at chris.bright.pdx@gmail.com. This e-mail account will no longer be operable as of Wednesday.
Thanks!
