Dear OBRA/WSBA Racers,

We have an amazing event lined for this year. We are taking things to a whole new level with a
brand new CAT 2 men's race, brand new stage in the State of Washington, and a fast new prologue at
Portland International Raceway (PIR).

Pro-1 Men and CAT 2 Men you will be racing 6 days and 6 stages June 1-6. Pro 1-3 Women, CAT 3 Men,
CAT 4 men, and Masters Men will run 4 day and 4 stages June 3-6, and will start with the brand new
Mt. Adams Road Race, located in Trout Lake Washington. This new course offers something for the
sprinters with only two minor climbs on course and a lot of flat road.

Returning will be the world class Scenic Gorge TT as well as the Wy'East Road Race. Be sure to
register early to assure you a spot as field limits are firm and be sure to book lodging now to
assure space. Lodging will be sold out come race day. For the Prologue and Stage 1 in Portland our
race headquarters and host hotel will be the Comfort Inn at Troutdale. Centrally located and
special race rates are offered. For the Gorge stages race headquarters will be located at Best
Western Hood River Inn. Cooper Spur Mountain Resort will also be our lodging partner and offer the
most economical lodging (and breathtaking location). For more information be sure to check out our
lodging page at www.mthoodcyclingclassic.com As always be sure to let them know you are
participating in the event in order to get a discounted rate and availability.

Also consider the 2010 Cherry Blossom Cycling Classic as a great way to race into shape for Mt. Hood
and give you a chance to come out and check out some of the courses.

We hope to see all of you at the starting line in June.

Sincerely,
Chad
