Alsea Falls Switchback and OBRA State Champs

Hey

A few reminders

You need an obra annual license to claim a State title

You can race though with a one day license like normal, so don't let that
dissuade you.

Course video coming friday, course took me 30 minutes to do a loop, so you
super fast people can bust one out in 20 to 25 minutes and there is so many
twists and turns that it will leave you gasping for air and your body full
tilt trying to hold that wheel.

On the other hand the climbs are relaxing and the trails and super fun
weather you are in the mix up front or doing a lap as a junior 10-12 year
old.

Register the day of at the Alsea Falls Picnic area from 9am until 10:30am
parking signs and people will help you get situated and the best advice is
to change and get on your bike (helmets please) and register. Parking area
is a half mile from the picnic area on a paved road.

Here are the initial preregistered, I have a few more to put in
tonight/Friday

I know more are coming and I am hoping those that like a 75-80 degree day
and in the Sun of summer will support this summer event. You know I am not
going to listen at all to people when they say, "why don't we have more
summer racing"

I think this is more than last year and thanks again for all the support, it
will be fun

Side note...camping is a great idea at Alsea Falls camping area
