The Course
Set in the heart of Left Coast Estate’s 490-acres, the Old Oak Prologue traipses through vineyards, white oak savannas, and a working farm. Each lap is about 4.5 miles with 500 feet of climbing.
Course Preview
The course preview enables student-athletes time to explore the course prior to their RACE. The goal is not to race during the preview, but to take in the terrain, consider any features, and strategize individual approaches for the actual event.
There are three preview windows available, plus a bonus Last Call window at the end of the day. All windows are coach-led. Access the Course Preview Schedule here.
Students must ride with a level 2 or 3 coach during the course preview.
Students and coaches must have race plates attached to their bikes while doing the course preview.
Only registered student-athletes and coaches are allowed to be on course during the course preview.
At this venue, previewing the course outside of the designated times is not allowed. Please do not ride the course outside of the published times.
No riding on Hwy 99, no exceptions. Any students that violate this will be disqualified from the prologue.
Start table and staging
Student-athletes will be staged based on their category and call-up (based on results from last season). If a student is new to the league, they’ll stage at the back of their category.
We’ll send students out in 5 second intervals. Timing officially begins as each student-athlete rolls over the timing mat.
Middle school students will do 1 lap.
High school students will do 2 laps.
Start times are as follows. Please note that adjustments may occur but will be announced prior to the event.
Registration & Race Plates
The Oregon League season fee includes registration for this event! No need to do anything else once you’ve signed up for the season.
Race plates can be picked up at the merch tent on Saturday or Sunday by your team director or head coach. Each rider is assigned a number plate for the season. You will be using the same race plate for your bike for the whole season. If you lose it, you can replace it for $10 at the merch tent.
GRiT - Girls Riding Together
NOTE:
The GRiT course preview is only available to registered student-athletes and coaches.
Riders and coaches must have a race plate in order to participate in the GRiT ride.
Course Preview Ride Options
Spicy (student-athletes only please): Pre-ride the course at steady pace with minimal stops for regrouping. This group will not session any parts of the course. Racers only please. This ride group is oriented towards returning riders who feel confident riding the course.
Mild (student-athletes only please): Open to all student-athletes who would like to pre-ride at a more relaxed pace with a few anticipated stops to regroup and the option to session/reride any parts of the course that feel tricky. This is a great option for riders new to the Oregon League or riders who already did a pre-ride earlier in the day with their team.
Social Ride: Let's hear it for student-athletes looking to ride at a conversational pace and connect with friends from other teams! Everyone is welcome in this group. We will stop as needed to regroup, take selfies, and share snacks.
GRiT Tent Activities
At every race venue, our GRiT Tent is a hub for girls and women to connect, share stoke, and support each other. The GRiT Tent is open to all female and female identifying riders, moms, and girl siblings. Note that girls must be in 5th - 12th grade to participate in GRiT rides, but the tent is open for all girls and women. Parents, please supervise your children younger than 5th grade.
Volunteer
Our races wouldn't be what they are without our incredible volunteers! If you have a couple hours to spare and want to help make this race happen, sign up online or on-site at the volunteer tent (next to registration). From course marshaling to finish line support to helping stage our riders, we can use your help!
Coach Meeting - Race Day at 7:30
Coaches, this is where you’ll get info about the race day, such as risk management, race conditions, and anything else of importance to mention. Sometimes we have to make changes due to weather or other circumstances, so it’s important you’re at the meeting to keep your team and riders informed! Meet near the registration tent.
There is no on-site camping, but the following nearby options are available:
Polk County Fairgrounds: Late checkouts okay; no need to reserve two nights if you’re leaving Sunday Price is $40/site and includes restrooms, showers and a dump station. If showing up after 4 PM, have cash or check to pay for your site as they don’t take cards.
