Welcome to Portland Racing - Home of the Portland Mountain Bike Short Track Series 2009!
Mountain Bike Short Track race ~ [MTB shôrt trak ras]
a mountain bike race similar to a criterium where riders do
multiple laps on a short 3-5 min course.
Very fast and fun!
We are a group of bike lovers, committed to offering Portland a fun and affordable summer mountain bike race series, open to all ages and all abilities.
This year - in our 5th edition - we are expanding the series to 7 weekly races, starting June 22 and running all the way through August 3.
Discover the thrill of racing your bike on a wickedly fun, off-road course; part motocross track, part grassy flats, part twisty singletrack under the trees.
This summer, for seven weeks in a row, you can be a kid again!
Ready. Set. Go!
For our 5th year of Short Track Racing in Portland.
News & Updates
06/30: Another super-fun course, close to 400 racers, Tony Pereira taking another win in the Singlespeed Hopworks Holeshot, and good times all around. Preliminary results of yesterday's races are posted on the OBRA web site. Online registration for next week's race is open now through end-of-day Friday.
06/29: Ready for some fun? Tonight, Zoobombers
plan
to show up in numbers for a 5'
exhibition lap on the motocross course, right after the
Cat 2 Men race (at 7:30pm). And we'll pay a tribute to the fallen stars
of my childhood: you'll be
racing on Monday to the tunes of Michael Jackson and a variety of Motown classics.
And we'll throw in some very cool prizes for
the best impersonators of Michael
Jackson and
Farrah
Fawcett racing a bike. Start working on
your hairdos, glitter gloves and
multi-zippered race kits!
06/23: Yesterday, we kicked off the '09 series with a bang. More than 350 racers showed up for our first night of racing! Thanks to everyone who came out for the first time and gave it a shot. We hope to see you back next week!
