Do you feel that?
It’s a lull. It’s a big-assed lull.
It’s like the holidays hit and then passed and then dried up and now we’re here with this wind and that flooding.
I wake up in the middle of the night and there is a bar room brawl in the tree branches above me. Violent. This weather […]
No, really! The rumors have been confirmed - Bend will host Cyclocross Nationals next year! (And the year after that!)
There is a really long press release about it, but I’ll cut to the chase because that’s how we like to roll ’round these parts.
Tentative Dates for 2009: December 10-13
Race Director: Brad Ross
Chance of Oregon ‘crossers […]
Hey, guess what!
It’s still snowing.
I know! I can’t believe it either. I just got a chance to hole up in my studio long enough to kick out some footage of the madness… Check my column at Wend Magazine for three minutes of blustery video, most of which looks as cold and chaotic as it actually […]
Mark your calendars for January 10, 2009 and get ready for the 1st annual Portland Velo Swap. Based on the press release, it sounds like a Portland-style cycling swap meet on crack, I mean beer. Yeah, that’s it - a drunken cycling-related swap meet to end all swap meets. Portland style.
Frankly, I’ve never been to […]
Seriously. This is a little crazy, no?
I woke up to over a foot of accumulation, with flakes still coming down. Riding the mountain bike on the side streets, even with studded tires, is hard. Regardless, I’m headed out one more time in an attempt to make it to my studio so that I can cut […]
My last column for 2008 will run in tomorrow’s Oregonian, but if you don’t get the paper you can check it out online. In it, I begin my quest for world domination, inspired by a bike-accessory I received for Christmas. (It was the motorcylce noismaker that you mounted on the handlebars… did anyone else have […]
Remember when you were 9 and you just ran outside, jumped on your sweet BMX with mag wheels, and started riding? No fussing or clacking duck-shoes or beeping computers.
And when you were done, you just parked the little beauty somewhere and ran inside to eat macaroni and cheese.
Rinse and repeat.
Unfortunately, riding big-kid bikes over long […]
Last week, I found out that you don’t actually have to be fast to win at the Cross Crusade Awards Party.
You can be lucky and win the raffle, like my friend Beth, who made off with a ridiculous set of tubular wheels.
Or you can be unlucky, flat three times in one race, go home and […]
Yesterday my cycling coach said, “Come to this here group spinning thing - it’s nasty outside.”
I looked out my window, saw a fresh dusting of the good stuff, and sent a text back to him: “I’m riding outside! This is awesome!”
It really wasn’t very much snow, but I’m easy. Sal and I rode down to […]
It’s snowing! No, really! Big, white flakes that are sticking. East coasters will mock us for being excited and Portlanders will forget how to drive, but dagnabbit, I’m stoked.
And, I swear I didn’t plan the weather, but I have a cold weather cycling guide in the Outdoors section of the Oregonian today. There’s even a […]
