OBRA has had huge growth in Women's Racing. Come on out to Hood River and show your strength. The course is a flat, four-corner crit, so it's a good venue for newer riders to get some experience before the crit season really begins. Call some friends, find a carpool, and head on out for an evening of racing. Women will be doing 40 minutes (about 18 laps), with primes in the middle. Sorella Forte has promised to be out in force; why not give them a run for their money? Good experience, nice weather, primes, and BAR and upgrade points; what's not to like?
For the gents, why not come out and challenge the River City Boys?
Forecast - Sunny, 63 degrees, light winds.
When you're done, why not try out one of Hood River's fine restuarants? I recommend Sophie's (west end of Cascade), Brian's Pourhouse (downtown), Dixie's (on the Heights), and, of course, the Hood River Taqueria (on the Heights).
See ya in the Hood!
