Doug, if you have ever posted an e-mail to the list (which you have), anyone
can grab your address. Plus, there is a spot for an e-mail address on every
OBRA Release form. Maybe you filled this in when you rode a short track
race? Perhaps you should just use the unsubscribe function at the bottom of
his e-mail.
I don't think OBRA needs money bad enough to sell our e-mail addresses.

Is OBRA now selling e-mail addresses to race promoters? That's the only way
I can see that Kris would have my e-mail address to be able to send this
directly to me. This didn't come through the OBRA Chat list. I object!

Kruger's Kermesse Farm Crit - Saturday 09/15/07
Hi Douglas,
We are less than 3 weeks away from the inaugural Kruger's
Kermesse Farm
Crit and it looks like everything is falling together pretty nicely. Here
are a couple updates that I thought you might be interested in:
1) Important - revised race schedule:
Per request from a number of women racers, we decided to stage the Women B
and Women Masters together with the Beginners and Juniors. The Master Men
50+ will race together with the Master Men B and C. The new race schedule
looks as follows:
1:00pm - Beginners, Juniors, Women B, Master Women (45 min)
1:45pm - Kiddie Race (Beginner 2 min, Expert 5 min)
2:00pm - Men B, Men C (45 min)
3:00pm - Master Men B, C, 50+ (45 min)
4:00pm - Men A, Master Men A, Women A, Singlespeed (55 min)
5:00pm -Team Relay (10 laps)
6:00pm - Awards (Cat A), Raffle, Good Times!
2) Bib Numbers:
We will use the Cross Crusade '07 bib numbers, so please leave your road bib
#s at home. Also, make sure to budget enough time before your race to get
through registration and pick up your bib number at the OBRA tent. Like in
cross, your bib number will go on the left side.
3) Pre-registration:
To make it easier on our registration volunteers, we encourage you to
pre-register for the race (click
here for details)
and save $5 off the regular race fee. The pre-registration deadline is
Friday September 7, so don't put it off too long. Also, bear in mind that
for logistical reasons we won't have day-of race registration for the team
relay races.
4) Live from Sauvie Island: Slowly Rising!
Good news for all you music lovers: we were able to line up a top-notch,
local, five-piece band who will set the night on fire with a mix of
roots-rock, blues, funk and what not. According to lead singer and guitarist
Chris Martin (who is a former national level Cat A bike racer) "the boys and
I are psyched to step out of the McMenamins/Laurelthirst pub scene for some
good-time outdoor diversion." They will play about 50/50 originals and
covers, including material from the Allman Brothers, The Band, Phish, Jimi
Hendrix, Van Morrison, Beck, Little Feat, Tom Petty, and of course The
Grateful Dead!
4) Sponsors:
Chris King, Clif Bar, Pyramid Brewing, Bike Gallery and Kona have stepped up
to support this new event with great raffle prizes and goodies! Stay tuned
for more details on all the cool prizes we'll have up for grabs!
6) Camping:
Don Kruger has friendly offered to provide an area on his farm where
out-of-town racers and spectators will be able to pitch their tents on
Saturday evening, though it will require advance reservation. If you plan to
camp out, just shoot me an e-mail with the number of tents and people in
your party.
That's it for now. We hope that this new race will provide the perfect
segway from the road season into cyclocross season, but we'll need you to
come out and help us find out. Bring your friends. Bring your family. See
you at the farm!

PS: I received a ton of e-mails from folks asking me what type of bike they
should race. While much will depend on the weather conditions leading up to
the event and the state of the course (read: dry or mud), it looks like
cyclocross bikes will be the safest bet. You could try your chances on a
road bike with beefy tires, but if you have a cross bike, it would still
seem wise to park it in the pits, just in case. Also, while this race is
billed as a farm crit, the race will feel more like a fast, non-technical
cyclocross race. We will use the same categories and rules as in cyclocross
and there won't be any free laps.
