Riders, families, volunteers, race crew, GRiT ambassadors, Student Advisory Crew, start line yoga aficionados, Zach Gilmour providing that mechanical support, and of course, the good people of Mt. Bachelor...thank you for making the weekend a special one.

MADRAS! Whew! It was so great to be back at the East Trail System after a year hiatus. Epic views, an endurance course, and that weather—that perfect bike racing weather—made for a mighty fine time all around. Thanks for joining us!

Results and photos are now up on our website (www.oregonmtb.org/eventweekends). A big thank you to Joelle Debban (joelle) for snapping up great moments from the day.

Up next: Cascade Challenge at Mt. Bachelor. Check those inboxes for our latest Singletrack Times for more deets.

With a megaphone in one hand and a mic in the other, this one has given her all to the Oregon League community. And by all, we mean rounding up volunteers, high fiving those in need, busting out dance moves, perspective, and laughter...often before 4:30 am. For the past nine years, Amy O’Connell has been an essential member of our Oregon League Race Crew bringing the vibes, reconnecting lost items to owners, exerting an incredible work ethic race weekend after weekend, year after year. She’s given us so much. Amy may be making a big life move out of state, but she’ll always be part of our collective Oregon heart.

Thank you, Amy. We love you and wish you all the best.

We will miss you terribly, but will probably not miss the 4:30 am wake up calls.😘

Let’s honor Amy with one last virtual OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

❤️ Amy O'Connell

We’re off to a good start on our fundraiser! Currently, we are at 14% of our $25,000 goal. Thank you to all who have generously donated so far. And with a little help, we know we can crush our goal.

To up the ante, anyone who purchases an entry between 9/9 and 9/12 at noon will be entered into a drawing to win limited edition Oregon League merch! We will announce the winner at the last podium ceremony on Saturday and Sunday (9/12 & 9/13, respectively). In other words, we will draw a winner for the north conference and one for the south conference...and they will go home looking extra sharp in official Oregon League merch.

🏆Must be present to win. 🏆

As a reminder, every donation is a chance to win. Prizes include a Trek Supercaliber SL 9.7 GX AXS, Bontrager helmet, Bontrager light set, and shuttle passes from the much beloved Cog Wild.
