Hello! A few reminders about this weekend...

Online registration is open until Friday night, June 10th.

The start location has changed to just around the corner from the church. Check the flier for exact location.

We need a few more volunteers for the morning (drivers only) and a few more for the afternoon (all positions). Please email me what race you will be competing in and which volunteer position you would like to do (lead driver, follow driver, corner marshal, registration help).

As always, thanks a lot...the race wouldn't happen with community support!

Tomorrow, Feb. 21st will be the Sublime Sublimity and Collegiate Fundraiser. Many racers have already pre-registered. There are some in every field, but there is lots of room available in every field.

Cat 4-5 men should not be worried about being turned away. If any riders is not able to race due to a full race he or she will be entered into a drawing to win a very cool, special consolidation prize; definitely worth the travel and getting turned away.

This is also a fundraiser event for Oregon State University, University of Oregon and Willamette University cycling clubs. The more people who come the more you support these terrific collegiate teams who have generously supplied us with volunteers.

We have a terrific course that offers a something for all riders. It is tough, but it will be tough for everyone. Come and enjoy some of the best riding the mid-valley has to offer.

I hope to see you all there,
David Kuhns

Folks- here's the info on the race. We were waiting for some final
insurance/permitting issues before information could be distributed.
They have been since cleared up. This information will be up on the
site shortly. I can say this is a REALLY good course. Beautiful
country out there...
