MTB’ers, tired of the rain? Looking forward to sunny days?
Well, join us at the ‘Washougal 3/6 Hour MTB Race’ Saturday, June 9th, 2012.
NEW for 2012! We have added a 3 hour option for those not quite ready for the full 6 hour deal. The 3 hour option is only about 30 minutes longer than most XC races, so dig a little and see how many laps you can knock off!
The race will be on the same course and direction as last year.
Will we be racing on the track? Yes we will!
For the endurance MTB crowd, our event is 1 week before the ToE 50/100, 3 weeks before Six Hr. at Mt. Hood and Cascade Cream Puff, and 6 wks. before High Cascade 100. Come gain some great endurance training close in to Portland before your target event.
Listed below is the raw flier info for the event, our super cool Jenn Levo version will be posted soon.
See you at the races!
