Awards Banquet Set for February 5th PORTLAND, Ore. The Oregon Bicycle Racing Association recently announced final results of its unique, year-long "Best All-Around Rider" (BAR) competition and its Oregon Cup series, crowning winners in 27 catergories, from Senior Men and Women to Tandem and Juniors. The OBRA BAR is a year-round, multi-discipline competition, factoring in results from separate rankings from Road, Track, Criterium, Time Trial, Cyclocross and Mountain Bike racing. Points are given out to the top 15 in each class; state championships are worth double points and national caliber races worth triple points. Riders must compete in four disciplines in order to qualify for the end of the year trophies. This format rewards participation as well as finishing results. The Oregon Cup competition is a year-long points series for individuals and teams, focusing on select races. One overall Men's and Women's winner is determined.
