2002 OREGON CYCLING CONFERENCE
The third edition of the northwest's only event of it's kind... actually,
the only event of it's kind in the country. For one day in the middle of
the winter, right here in puddletown you get to sit at the feet of some of
the finest coaches in North America and soak up what you can from about
twenty guys and girls that have among them a couple of centuries of racing
experience at national and world level competition. The most
authoritative voices in coaching in the US and Canada will be here to help
you become a better rider and a more effective racer. They'll be here to
answer those questions that no-one ever puts in the cycling magazines.
This spring's conference is the third of the series, and while it might
not make you a bit faster this spring (note: some assembly required), it
will cure seasonal depression in many cyclists.
The most popular speakers from past years, Houshang Amiri, Tim
Rutledge, and Kendra and Rene Wenzel will be back... along with several
more top coaches from the Northwest and around the country. Ed Burke and
Houshang have promised to make it this year (both had to cancel at the
last minute last year due to accident/illness). And Greg Undem and Sam
Callan are both likely to be here, both for the first time. All the folks
participating here are well known coaches, authors of professional
coaching articles, exercise physiologists, physical therapists, and trainers.
This year the conference will be all day Saturday the 19th of
January. Sign-in will be from 7AM to 8AM, and the first session will
begin at 8. There will be opportunities for race organizers, officials,
and club coaches. The OBRA general meeting will be before the banquet in
the evening. The annual Banquet that evening will as usual feature the
best of the year in photography, OBRA's annual awards, and possibly a word
or two from some of our favorite people.
Oh, and be sure to hang in there for:
1. the dessert, and
2. the drawing (remember last year?)
Cost: $40.00*, includes Conference and Banquet.
* some junior scholarships will be available with preregistration and
prior approval.
It will again be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club, (in Portland), and
will again feature the great food from the MAC's kitchens.
So, save the date on your calendar now. And get ready for a whiz-bang
start to the 2001 cycling season.

This event is hosted by the Multnomah Athletic Club Cycling Committee, and
