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

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.
