Mt. Hood Cycling Classic
Dang it Russell you beat me to it!
Sorry my fellow OBRA family we tried very hard these past 6 months to find the necessary funding to make the event happen but with the City of Portland pulling its support and not being able to come up with a title sponsor we are forced to postpone the event until 2010. We are focusing our attention to keep the project going and have hopes that we can find the partners needed to make this a reality. As all of you know we live in the most amazing state when it comes to spectacular roads, beautiful scenery and the most incredible cycling community. It is our goal to be able to show case this in a state wide tour and will continue on with this dream for an event in May 2010 with one of the biggest pro men's and the biggest pro women's races in the country. Any of you who have friends in high places in Portland, Salem, Corvallis, and Eugene we need you to contact them. Let them know that Oregon deserves a major tour for both men and women. With your help we can work through this economic slump to make this happen.
Also I want to make sure eveyone knows the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic WILL be back in 2009 for its 7th edition. We have secured the necessary funding through our great local sponsors like Full Sail, Taco Del Mar, Gorge Delights, Cooper Spur etc. to make that event a reality. Dates are June 3-7th and we will have more info and registration up next week. Thanks for all your tremendous support and we look forward to seeing you at the races!
Sincerely,
Chad Sperry
