John Benenate

OBRA Officials have asked me to cancel this event.

Because it is uninsured, and no arrangement has been made with the parks.
it gives future promoters a bad name.

I will acquiesce to their wisdom on this matter and cancel my invitation to OBRA
Members

to accompany Cyclisme Racing Program racers
participating in the presentation of
cyclocross match sprints, points races and a crit
in BrentwoodDarlington Park at 3:00pm Saturday.

Our Juniors will be enjoying a Bike Maintenance Class
at 1:00PM at 6115 SE Knapp St.

I hope everyone will be out at the velodrome at 6:30pm for the
Pursuit of Glory Track Class later Saturday Evening.
