Redmond, Oregon -- 03/31/2009
Team Oregon Welcomes The ABA BMX Great Northwest Nationals
Way to go racers!!! We are looking good
in Redmond and can't wait to get racing !!!
We have had rooms available through Comfort Suites (our host hotel),
the brand new Sleep Inn, Best Western Rama Inn, Motel 6, and Super
8 ---- Dear Riders and families please treat these folks with respect
- DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKES IN THE HOTELS !!!! No furniture in the
pool --- we've asked they provide rags for you to polish your bike so
you look spiffy crossing the finish line so leave the good terry for the
shower.
I've heard some of those making late decisions to join us are having a
hard time finding a room in Redmond - Shilo Inn and Suites in Bend
541-389-9600 has offered up a team rate so although you'll have a little
drive it is all highway so you'll be here in a jif -- I've heard some of
those making late decisions to join us are having a hard time finding
a room in Redmond
