Subject: [OBRA Chat] Willamette Stage Race 2 weeks away

Hello,

How time rolls by. Just last April we had snow for Willamette and by all estimations every other year I have good weather, so join us on a rolling race in the Willamette Valley April 23-26th. The Race starts on 4/23 for the Pro,1,2 men and Pro 1,2,3 women and by all accounts the fields and courses will be epic. This race will propel you to new levels of fitness and bring out the racer in you.

Hundreds of hrs have went into prep for this event and without you we would not be able to bring a top notch event to the Northwest...we appreciate all of you who enter and the great OBRA support

Note: Willamette Bibs will be issued

The Fields

Pro, 1,2 men
Pro 1,2,3 women
Masters 1,2,3 women
Masters 35+ 2,3,4
Masters 50+ and 60+
Cat 4 Men

Cat 4 35+ women

We are planning on running the Cat 4 women with Cat 4 35+ women and thank you for the support

Stage 1 Coburg RR 4/23 only Pro, 1,2 men and Pro 1,2,3 women

Flat, Windy? one hill to split the group up over Brush Creek through the Mohawk Valley. 60 miles with a fast finish

Stage 2 King Estate 4/24

It starts for most of you here. A Valley classic with the climb over Wolf Creek. Wanna do it twice? You will if you are in the Pro 1,2 men or Cat 3 field.....

We are finalizing some details at this stage relating to food and entertainment....stay tuned

Stage 3 Alsea Falls RR

This stage will take you on a scenic journey from Philomath Middle school past Mary's Peak Turn off into Alsea......Up over the ALsea falls....down down down 2 miles and rolling into Alpine, then the 20 mile 6 small climbs back to Philomath middle school. Wind, hills, stay with a group unless you have the _____ to take off......you may be caught. Clean spring finish at the school after a hard right hand turn....start your sprint early...or hang on for dear life.
100.00 win bonus for every field! Yes every field....pay for your race and if you don't win......its one sweet ride.

The TT Corvallis Oregon, Crescent Valley High School

Yes 15.5 miles and 900 ft. If you thought you had your victory in hand...think again. 30 seconds or more can be gained back as you start and hit a 600 ft climb to start your finishing journey.

One set of Wheels from Rolf Prima
One Custom Frame from Lanshark....John will personally build it for you
Thousand in cash, Dave,s Killer Breadby the loaf and Hammer Nutrition (heed) to revitalize you.
