I'd like to encourage all of you 'cross racers out there (isn't that pretty much everyone?) to come make a weekend out of our Hood River Double Cross races. Bring the family and camp at the fairgrounds or check out one of Hood River's great hotels or B&B's. I've put together some quick links to make planning your weekend even easier.
I'm looking forward to seeing you on September 20th and 21st!
Thanks,
Jeff
Family Information
Hood River is a wonderful community for families and late September is a perfect time for a visit. The weather will most likely be very pleasant and the trees will be turning to exquisite fall colors. Check out the Hood River County Chamber of Commerce website ( http://www.hoodriver.org/HRCCC_CategoryTemplate.asp?CategoryINDX=504 ) for a list of some of the amazing activities and attractions on the weekend of September 20-21.
If youve driven to town for the race, why not try the Fruit Loop tour (www.hoodriverfruitloop.com) to take in all of the scenic views? If wineries are more your style, try a tour at http://www.winesnw.com/gorgemap.html .
