News & Updates 08/03 - Results of Monday's final night of racing and the Final Series Standings have been posted, as well as the "unofficial" results of the Ultra Short Track Team Relay race. 08/02 - What a great last night of short track racing we had yesterday! The weather was about perfect, a record number of 430+ racers, a sold-out ultra short track team relay (25 teams of 10 racers each!), and the course rocked. Oregon Velo and short track racers Ian Mastenbrook and Victor Duong all posted a bunch of cool action shots of last night's racing. Ian even made a real sweet video of the team relay madness with a very fitting soundtrack. Enjoy! 07/28 - All 25 team slots for next Monday's Ultra Short Track Team Relay race have been filled! 07/27 - Check out the very nice collection of actions shots taken throughout the series by Portland Velo racer Victor Duong!
07/21 - We're in the home stretch of the series with just two more races left, so time to get ready for the Series Grand Finale and Ultra Short Track Team Relay! This year, we are turning the team relay race into a mini-fundraiser for our friends and MTB advocates at Northwest Trail Alliance, by introducing a race fee of $30 per team and donating all proceeds to NWTA. The 25 available slots for the team relay race will be awarded on a first-come first-serve basis. 07/18 - Lest we forget, the winners of last week's grand prizes: Brent Misfeldt is our first Moots Gran Prix winner (winning a state-of-the-art Moots Cinch Ti seatpost) and Marie Major and Amy Ziehnert - whose names were randomly drawn among all of last week's women racers - are our "Queens of The Night", both winning a $50 Bike N Hike gift certificate! 07/14 - Another Monday, another wild night of Short Track racing! We received a lot of great feedback about last Monday's course and we'll do our best to keep it up (only waiting for the 90+ degree weather to kick in, so we can get the sprinklers going). Results of race # 5 have been posted and Cat 2 35-44 Men racer Jake Linford posted another great helmet cam video (featuring a full lap of his 6/27 race) on Vimeo. Enjoy! 07/06 - Thanks to everyone who came out to Skibowl last Sunday to race the 2nd edition of the Six Hours of Mt Hood. The weather and the course were perfect and it looks like everyone had a great time! Now back to Short Track... to get you all amp'ed up for the next four races, check out this cool helmet cam compilation David Rosen posted on YouTube. 06/30 - Four races down, four to go... and time for a mid-series break. Results of Monday's race # 4 and series standings after the first 4 races have been posted. We hope you all enjoyed the first part of the series and we're looking forward to seeing you on Sunday at the Six Hours of Mount Hood!
06/18 - Bring on the summer!! This Monday is summer solstice and the weather forecast calls for sunny skies and temps in the mid 70s. Just the perfect conditions to host our annual Summer Casual Race Outfit Contest!* Leave the lycra at home and come race in your "Monday best" casual threads: oversized surf trunks, colorful skirts, double-rainbow tie dye tees, knitted socks,... anything goes! And we'll have cool prizes for the most authentic male and female "summer casual racer" in each race heat! Peace out, bruv...
The course will be very similar to last year's (a varied, 7-mile loop that features plenty of fun, twisty singletrack trails and about 400' of elevation gain per lap), though we're moving the start/finish area to Skibowl's main lodge & parking area (just off Hwy 26). 06/14 - Wow, what a fun night that was! Yesterday, we counted 350 racers, the sun was out in force, the course rocked, and everyone seemed to have a blast! Results of Monday's race # 2 have been posted on OBRA and Oregon Velo posted a new batch of action shots. Like last week, medium-resolution photos of the Kiddie Race can be downloaded for free. 06/10 - Some important updates for the rest of the series:
* only on Monday nights at the HUB Bike Bar and limited to one pint per racer. Tips for New Racers: - Come out early: the course will be open for pre-riding at 4pm and registration opens at 4:30pm. We are also hosting free junior clinics (starting at 4:30pm) and novice women clinics (starting at 4pm).
