2006 Cycling Classic

Living up to the hype, The Cycling Classic delivered a punishing course to those that dared to race it. To the locals the course is simple and painful; Five Dump Loops. For anyone that has done a Dump Loop, a route aptly named for it's traverse by the dump yard, it's common knowledge that this is no small accomplishment. Doing one is difficult enough, let alone 5, and furthermore to attempt it in extreme heat and under intense racing conditions is almost inhumane.

2006 Mount Hood Cycling Classic

2006 Treasure Valley Stage Race (Crit)
