After two successive years of having to remove late-spring snow from some of the highest points on the route of Oregon’s Mt. Hood Cycling Classic, promoters have moved the event back one week on the US race calendar. Breakaway Promotions’ Chad Sperry said on Friday that the 10th edition of the race will take place from June 8-10 in Hood River….

Coming June 18th, 2011 the 4th annual event looks to grow both in participation and scope for this year. With a mission to increase the health and fitness of today’s youth Mid Columbia Medical Center and the Indie Hops Mt. Hood Cycling Classic have teamed up to produce the largest kid’s bike race in the Northwest. From training wheels to twelve year olds all kids are encouraged to come out and ride. Returning will be the popular kid’s criterium at the new Waters Edge Health & Wellness Center located at Lone Pine Village, on the banks of the Columbia River in The Dalles. Fast smooth roads allow the kids to safely and effectively negotiate the course. Kids will be divided into two year increments for racing.
So whether you are an accomplished racer or still on training wheels come on out and join us on the starting line!
