Mt. Hood Cycling Classic

Dear CAT 3/4 Women,

It is our deepest desire to provide you the best event possible with what resources we have. That said it has been brought to my attention that many of you have a very difficult time attending a 4 day stage race. We do not have the ability to run a dual stage day for the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic due to the incredibly tough TT we run. Besides it is long and tough enough to warrant it's own day. So here is what I am going to offer you. We can either keep the format the same with event starting on Thursday afternoon and containing 2 road races, a TT, and a Crit or we can drop stage #1 and start you in the afternoon Friday with the most amazing TT in the country and the event will be a TT, Road Race, and Crit. Both the Road Race and Crit are two of the top courses in the country (the last year's pro teams words not mine). Come take a stab at beating Jeanie Longo's TT time from last year ;)

So being the true American I am I would like to put these two options to a vote. Pleaes reply to me by Monday 9:00 a.m. and let me know what option you find to be the better formula. I will also drop the price of the event accordingly for the 3 stage option. The most votes wins. Send this out to all your teams and all your friends. I want to hear from all of you!

Option #1
4 Stages (RR, TT, RR, Crit)
Starts Thursday Afternoon
Price: $100

Option #2
3 Stages (TT, RR, Crit)
Starts Friday Afternoon
Price: $75

Sincerely,
Chad
