Just a reminder to folks that there will be an OBRA Mountain Bike Official's
Training session this Saturday in Corvallis from 8am-5pm.
The invitation is attached.
If you are a mountain bike promoter, have somebody attend. It could save
you $ in official's fees this summer.
There is no cost to attend, but I need a head count, so let me know if you
are coming.
I will also need to send you the course prep reading packet.
Regards,
Jim Fischer
OBRA
