Good luck Clark! One more reason race organizers deserve to make a profit!

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Mt Tabor Series Update

The Mt Tabor Series continues to be in a state of permit limbo.
Certain folks at the Water Bureau are telling me there’s no way in
**** the reservoir work will be done until at least mid-July.  Others
are telling me they are absolutely positive the roadway will be paved
by June 1 and that only the city’s final inspections will be
outstanding.

So, at this point it’s unclear what's going to happen.

The good news is that I have a block of time in August blocked out
with the Parks Dept. should the June/July dates unravel at the last
minute. Plan B would call for a four-race series, 7/29, 8/12, 8/19
and 8/26. Note these are still alternate dates.

I plan to visit the Parks Dept. tomorrow to sort this all out. What I
do know is that I'm approaching the 11th hour in terms of my permits
and whatnot... and I'm getting very nervous.

Folks,

Here's the latest info on the River City Bicycles Mt. Tabor Series.

The Water Bureau is currently indicating that the road closure for reservoir
maintenance will last until the first of June. I was recently told that
this is a "conservative estimate" and that the project will likely be done
by the time the series begins on June 3rd.

However! Construction projects can -- and do -- sometimes take on a life of
their own, so there's a real possibility that the work may indeed be
delayed. The vendor's actual work contract is good until July 1st. Let's
hope the construction won't take that long.

As always, I'll post more as I know more.
