Race #1 - Heiser Farm: One of the best venues Oregon cross has to
offer. John Heiser has an amazing farm outside of Dayton, OR where
spectators have as much fun as the racers. John offers hay rides to
and from his pumpkin patch, corn/hay mazes, delicious food, a petting
zoo, and a hay castle. Did we mention the pumpkin cannon?

Race #2 - Battlecreek (R.I.P Golf Course): This old South Salem golf
course provides for some unregulated fun in sandpits. No putting
wedge necessary; just a solid drivetrain! Anyone who prefers sand traps
to run ups will enjoy this course. The only bumps on the course were
created by the resident moles, can you say FAST!

Race #3 - Bicycleattorney.com OBRA Championships at the Oregon State
Fairgrounds: Where to begin? The four buildings you'll ride through and your
partner/family will appreciate The indoor Hopworks beer garden
adjacent to the course?
Possibly the live band? Waffles and Belgian style fries for fuel?
This will be a Belgium style cyclocross festival for sure!!
