The Oregon Junior & High School Cyclocross Series begins in September so
it's time to build your teams and begin planning your season. We broke all
records for junior and high school Cyclocross participation in the US last
year and this year is set to be bigger and better.
The Oregon Junior Cyclocross Series includes 7 races across Oregon and
Southern Washington to sort out the top Juniors in age/gender categories
from 10 to 18. Within that same 7 race series there are 5 races specifically
designed for High School Team participation. We had 10 High School teams
last year and are hoping for 15 this year. It is really easy to form a team,
contact John Wilson if you have any questions about getting started.
Our fantastic series sponsors:
. Pacific Power
. Willamette Valley Cycling Team
. Redline
. Castelli
. Rolf Prima
. Sellwood Cycle Repair
. Hammer Nutrition
. Rapha
Please show your appreciation for these sponsors through your patronage.
This is a nonprofit series, fueled by pure volunteerism (let me know if you
want to help out) and all race budget dollars and merchandise from our
generous sponsors are donated with 100% pass through to help encourage,
promote, and reward Junior Cycling. OBRA is supporting this movement by
reducing costs for promoters. In turn promoters are keeping entry costs at $
5 and giving us the prime starting slot to make travel easier for teams and
families.
All info and details can be found on the series website,
http://www.JuniorCross.com We will post all updates there about rule
changes, details on the individual and grand prize awards and race
schedules.

The JCS kicks off in Hood River at the Hood River Fairgrounds course on
Sunday, which is the perfect venue for first time Junior racers but leaves
plenty lung-burning opportunity for the powerful and experienced racer.
The High School Series kicks off the following weekend in Bend at the
Crossaflixion #1. We are pleased to announce that the Bend Endurance Academy
has coordinated a Cyclocross Development Camp around this race. The camp is
designed for Junior & High School Cyclocross Racers, their Coaches and
Teams. The BEA Cyclocross Camp includes entry to the Crossaflixion Race,
meals, lots of coaching, drills, rides and gives teams a chance to socialize
and develop at the start of the season. OBRA proudly supports this camp and
we encourage all coaches to attend with their teams. Learn more and sign up

Special Thanks to: Kenji Sugahara, Cheryl Willson, Candi Murray, Melanie
Rathe, Bill Warburton, Sal Collura, Eric Vickers, Jeff Lorenzen, Brad Ross,
