One other thing I forgot to mention in my previous post:
Per popular demand, we will continue to host our FREE weekly short track skills clinics for women, men, and junior racers.
All three clinics start at 4:30pm (meet-up is at the bleachers on the right of the registration tent) and run through 5:30pm. If you're running late, you can join them while they're in progress (just look for them somewhere on the course).
The clinics are open to everyone, not just novice riders, and will include a guided bike-through of the course, various skill drills, and a ton of race tips from folks who not only know how to race hard but also how to race smart.
You don't have to register in advance for the clinics - or even race the same night - but you definitely need to fill out a waiver (http://www.portlandracing.com/short-track-waiver-2012.html) before participating in the clinic.
Cheers,
