Recently re-paved, it has some of the best cycling in the county with rolling hills and a mild elevation gain to the turn around, which makes for a fast return. The Run will be through downtown Oregon City, out and back on the beautiful refurbished bridge, and up the classic stair climb out of the downtown and on to the bluff.

A World Triathlon Resource Gets Some International Exposure
TriMapper is an international triathlon resource, with triathlons events plotted in 90 some countries around the world. Thus its satisfying to know that we are known or talked about not just here in the US, but around the world.
We know we have fans and visitors from around the world, so it's cool to see two recent international posts on TriMapper in countries far away from Minneapolis.
The first one comes from the online Triathlon section for Runner's World Sweden via Christine Wageborn. The title appropriately states "Find your triathlon races on the world map" and shares how you can plan some travel and a race with our triathlon maps.
The other TriMapper reference comes from TriLife.ru, a triathlon community website in Russia via a post from Egor Teplukhin. The translation states "Starts looking for in 2013? Do not know where to go? We give you site http://trimapper.com/ . All starts. Any number, any place!"
We appreciate the support even thought the text is in a language we can't read initially (long live Google Translate). We thank them for spreading the news and look forward to seeing other posts on TriMapper in the future.
