Thanks to our friends in Oakridge Oregon and the Willamette Mountain Mercantile for putting on a great race the fat 55....Eugene's first race and it was a good one...it even had its own Fugitive at large in the forest that was captured by law enforcement the night of the race on the race course...I think it should be renamed the fugitive 55.....
