 Due to a road with very poor pavement, OBRA and the organizers have revised the route from the previous version. Look at the profile below and see, though, that the change has little effect on the race dynamics. There are still a couple rougher patches of pavement, so super light wheels are not recommended. The map on the link has also been updated. The race is a 16-mile loop that starts and finishes at the Rainier Schools complex. The route features a long steady climb and accompanying descent. This looks to be an excellent road race route, and there have been some comments back to that effect. Rainier Oregon is just 1 hour Northwest of Portland with access from I-5 or Highway 30.
