08' Alpenrose 6 Day!!


Do you want to be part of History???


Then come out to the Alpenrose Velodrome to see the First EVER all women's six day.


The Alpenrose Velodrome has been around since 1962, and has never looked back providing an excellent track venue for Oregon Cycling. Alpenrose has held USA cycling National Championships in 1967 and 1989.





It continues making history. Holding the first ever all women 6 day. The first event of it's kind any where in the world. It's also an FIAC National Madison Championship. What does this mean? A FIAC National Championship Jersey will be awarded! Stars and Bars baby!!!


This could only happen in OBRA land. We are fortunate to have such a rich history of bike racing and wonderful people like the Cadonau's, Murray's, Godfreys, Sugahara's and many many more who make racing what it is in oregon!


So come out and watch some awesome racing and be a part of history in the making!!!

Here's how to get there:

Alpenrose Velodrome's address is 6149 SW Shattuck, Portland, Oregon. One way to get to the track is to take the Terwilliger exit (297) off of I-5, then go straight for half a mile (north) on Bertha Street or Terwilliger to Highway 10 and take a left (west). Follow Highway 10 for 2 miles, also called the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, until you get to the Wendy's (on the left) and take a left (south) on Shattuck Street. Follow Shattuck for about half a mile, until you get to the Alpenrose Dairy, on the right (6149 SW Shattuck). (Overview map, detail map)
