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.

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.
