Longride
Yeah, no kidding. We should all breathe a sigh of relief that bike races are still as cheap as they are. As endurance events go, bike races are just a fraction of what they could legitimately cost. Register for a regional triathlon and see what that sets you back (I think Pac. Crest is around $150 this year).
$30 this year as opposed to the 25.00 I used to pay at mtb and road events like 10 years ago - I say we're well behind the inflation curve. If after filling a gas tank at $4 per gallon to haul your $1,500+ bike to the race, you can't stomach a $5 hike on last year's entry fee, then keep your curmudgeon hide on the couch at home, we don't need your kind.

Here we go again....to much to race?
Why complain about something that you
can't control...Either go and enjoy the race or get a better job so we don't
have to listen to you guys complain about spending a few bucks to
race....
A few pitchers of Beer is 30.00 and people
don't complain about that and it's gone in no time....But a very organized
event that takes time and effort to put together with dozens of people trying to
make it possible for us to race and you guys complain, I don't get it....If you
have a comment please send it direct so everyone does not have to see the same
old thing as the last thread about PIR...

"great show" or not $30 is a steep reg fee.

The Southern Oregon crew puts on a great
show.
Those in Portland/Salem/Eugene/Bend should carpool down and
either
camp or stay overnight.
Remember you can also do the
combo:
Saturday Spring Thaw, Sunday Table Rock.
Table Rock IS
an Oregon Cup race.
