Hello,
This season is getting ready to launch for Mountain Bike Xc racing with
Hornings Hustle on April 6th as the Season opener. Last year Tom and Kris
had a great Turnout and I expect the same dirt addicted folks or more to
come out for a great time. As your OBRA rep I encourage all of you to get
your annual licenses NOW!. Well you can send it in in the morning to make
life easier on the folks that need to process you for a license and then for
the race. At least come early if you need a license as we do not want to
start late. If you come to the race and try to sign up as a semi-pro or pro
you may be denied. Please bring your last years card to prove that you were
that class as the red stickers will not be handed out like candy. (tasty i
bet)
The Series
I am so glad to work with such excellent individuals over the season to
bring the best racing anywhere. From the small courses to the big, to the
dust and the sand---Oregon racing has it all!
This year we have trophies for the TOP 3 Teams overall and maybe someone
will take down Capitol Subaru for the Title. Of course if Kenji would give
it a try they may be unstoppable (hey Kenji)
Once again Primal wear has provided us with a nice discount on custom series
champion jerseys for each of the 20 categories and with Rivercity's generous
support and each promoter pitching in cash we are able to make this series
great for all who participate.
