Top reasons to race Saturday:

1) It's got a beach. Sure, south beach at Hood River was nice and all. But
Het Meer is the real deal.
2) It's close. I know Portlanders seem to think that Vancouver, WA is as far
away as Vancouver, BC. But for most of you, it's only 10 minutes farther
than PIR. And for the rest, it's closer!
3) It's flat. For the 98.427% of OBRA members who don't fancy themselves
climbers, this is the course for you.
4) If you are unlucky enough to line up in the back of your field, you will
be in the same zip code of the people who got call ups. Everyone rolls
within a few seconds of the whistle.
5) No residual large animal poo on the course.
6) Did I mention it's got a beach?

If you are only going to do one flat land race this weekend, seriously
consider Het Meer!

We're excited to bring you a new course out at Vancouver Lake Park. This may be one for the Clydes, flat, fast, and all about pure power. Oh, and we’ll be on the beach for a long leg. It’s hard packed and fast, but getting down and back up will be a unique challenge. The weather and course look great!

Pre-registration closes at 5pm tonight.

The second run of 'Ninkrossi' t-shirts is in, for those of you that missed out or haven’t picked up.

'Het Meer CX' is race #5 in the GPMC. Come out and enjoy the day!
