The Night Race Boone to Bush

Thanks to everyone that raced. It was a blast.

I want to thank everyone that helped take names and block traffic.
I also want to thank all the sponsors.
Two that didn't make the poster Northwest longboarding and Josh Burt.
Josh puts on the Portland pusher and he got the numbers for the race.

We had a great showing 59 racers. The start line was awesome.

Robin did the 6 mile course in 20 min.

If you have pictures from race email me so I can post them.

Here is the list in order of how everyone placed.
Because it was night there are some holes if you dodn't see you name and you know what you came in let me know so I can fill in the blanks.

When: 9-22-07
Where: Meet at lower parking lot Bush park
Time: 9pm for sign in Race at 9:30pm

The route is 6 miles of night riding with 4 downhill sections a couple parking lots to go thru and one long uphill section. This is an outlaw race so there are cars to watch out for, some smooth pavement, some not so smooth. This is a pretty mellow run and if you can foot brake you can handle it. The finish line is the finish line on the Soap Box Derby track in Bush park.

The course was marked with glow sticks so you can find your way and don't have to memorize the map.
This is an outlaw race and HELMETS ARE REQUIRED and if there is a bike lane we need to stay in it. Also if you have light use them. The more everyone obeys traffic lays the more likely we will be able to complete the race with out police intervention and be able to continue to have races.

Everyone will get a ticket and the prizes will be raffled off at the end.
So no matter how you do as long as you complete the course you could win a prize.
