I am not = trying to annoy you. But you need to remember cycling history here in = the US. Most of the very early closed course racing was done on dirt = tracks, then they moved to wood tracks. Besides there are at least 3 = other closed course road race tracks in Oregon, those could also be used = for cycling. Which in turn would open up other regions of Oregon to = competitive cycling. PIR is the only one that is currently being = used for cycling. =20 Also remember that alot of the early racing in Europe was also done = on the dirt and rock and cobble stone before paved streets were around. = One another thing to think about is the possibilities of using a oval = dirt track. This is where the trackies, roadies and yes the mountain = bikes could all ride on a closed course. Ever thought of the fun you = could have on a dirt velodrome. =20 Take care all and keep smillin. The Veatch's =20 ------=_NextPart_000_000D_01BFA9DE.9FB77EE0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi there all:</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> Yes it would be great to = have a PIR=20 style of race here in the valley.
