Team S&M, Kona Bicycles, and TheCrossCrusade present
The Alpenrose 'Cross Clinics
Where?
The Alpenrose Dairy is located at 6149 S.W. Shattuck Rd., Portland, OR
97221.
When?
This year's dates are September 5, 12, 19, and 26--all Wednesdays!
Clinics start at 6:30pm sharp and end about 7:30pm.
Registration is open from 6-6:20pm at Alpenrose Dairy. Please don't be late
as daylight is precious.
How much?
Register for the whole series for $25. Yes, it's $5 bucks more this year.
However, there is no charge for all Juniors (ages 13-18) and Kids (ages 12
and under).
You can pay with cash or check at the first clinic or send a check with a
standard OBRA release form to: Team S&M; c/o Sellwood Cycle Repair; 7639
S.E. Milwaukie Ave.; Portland, OR 97202. This will really help us manage
the volume of participants and get started on time. Plus, the clinics are
most helpful if attended in full!
Otherwise, each clinic costs $10. Not sure if you want to do the whole
series? No sweat! Come to the first clinic and pay $10, and if you like it
then settle the $15 balance at the second clinic. We're easy. (Our goal is
to encourage participation in the whole series.)
What's the best reason to bother with pre-registration? It's the only way
to qualify for the grand-prize giveaway of a new, 2008 Kona "Jake the Snake"
'cross bike. What a gimmick! The raffle will be held Sept. 19 (the 3rd
clinic), and, yes, you must be present to win. Just in time for the first
race!
Why?
Hone your 'cross skills with some of the top local 'crossers and most
experienced racers in the Pacific Northwest. Get measured practice first so
you can train properly later. Socialize with your brethren. And so on.
