"We just lost another awesome stage race.Sad day for Oregon bike racing: Chad Sperry, Mt. Hood Cycling Classic race organizer, announced today that this year would likely be the last for the 11-year-old stage race that's become a climber's favorite and has hosted Giro winners (Ryder Hesjedal), Olympic gold medalists (Kristin Armstrong) and U.S. national champions (Jade Wilcoxson, Freddie Rodriguez). \"We have reached a point with a significant decline in sponsorship support, volunteer support, and rider registrations declining each year that we are forced to make the very tough decision to close the event."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
