Dear OBRA members,

The Echelon Gran Fondo is coming to the Columbia River Gorge this
fall. It is neither a race nor an OBRA event but does promise to
bring on some fun pageantry of a grand tour to our area and they are
throwing in a 40k timed section with a hill top finish on Mt Hood.

Echelon is part of a national cycling series designed to raise money
for cancer research and survivors, specifically LIVESTRONG™, and local
to the northwest, the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Funds will also go
to the Historic Columbia River Highway. The date is September 26th.
The course starts at the Discovery Center just west of Hood River and
follows the Columbia River eastward through The Dalles, and into the
rolling scablands and wheat fields followed by a monster climb up
Hood. There are 30, 60 and 100-mile options.

Sign up is simple. You can register online at www.echelongranfondo.org
and simply pay the $25 initial fee. By event date, you must raise or
pay an additional $125 as the basic registration fee is $150.

Thanks and please go check out Echelon.
