Big changes in store for August OBRA road championships
-
- The OBRA Championships in August will take place on the same Mt. Adams course that will be used for the 2010 Mt. Hood Cycling Classic. The circuit starts and finishes at the Trout Lake school just south of Mt. Adams.
-
- A herd of elk feeds not far from the road about halfway through the course.
-
- The 1K straightaway to the finish is wide and fast.
-
- This weekend’s OBRA Road Race Championships will start and finish at the same place as the Mt. Adams course used for stage 2 of the 2010 Mt. Hood Cycling Classic. But this new “Glenwood” circuit heads south rather than going north onto the remote forest service roads of the Ginford Pinchot National Forest.

-
- The course is sandwiched between Adams to the north and Hood (pictured) to the south.
-
- Flat farmlands, gradual climbs and a brief foray into the foothills of Mt. Adams make up most of the course.
