I’m traveling so this has to be quick but the race report from this weekend went up realllly early this morning over at the Wend Blog.

Also, check out more photos from Ironclad, Jason Sager, and David A. I’m sure there are many, many, many, many, many more to come.

SSCXWC contenders descended upon a time-trial qualifying course at a secret location in Portland today. I was there for the start, but I had to work so I could not return to the shenanigans until later in the night when the second-chance race left from Vanilla Bicycles HQ.
All hands were on deck for beer, bikes […]
This video, from last year’s SSXCWC at Estacada, probably says it best. I’m cringing to post it again but - unfettered joy is unfettered joy, ya know?

Blood, rocks, mud, carnage.
Barton Park 2008 will go down in infamy.
Cue to the quarry. Cyclocross at its best. Sunday mayhem. Bodily destruction. A precarious place for a bike […]
It rained.
It wasn’t exactly epic, but it definitely rained enough to wreak some serious havoc.
Barton’s a killer because you’re not just dealing with mud, you’re dealing with layers of mud that are concealing really slippery rocks underneath. Wicked.
The off-camber descent was a veritable hazard during Sal’s race and I stood by and watched as a […]
The full race report follows, but I wanted to mention that I’ve recently established a relationship with Wend Magazine and they’ll be publishing these reports as a diary series on their blog this year. I’m super excited to be hooked up with such a kick-ass group of people. The mission (below) of the magazine is […]
I should have known better.We’re racing bikes through what is left of a former insane asylum. A few rotting concrete walls and several deadly spikes of rebar growing out of the ground here and there are the only remnants of the building that was Dammasch State Hospital, but the ghosts are out in force.
I should […]
Let us speak plainly.
The race did not go as planned.
Buried on the start line despite my early arrival. 4o-something headed into the single track.
Are you kidding me?

It’s here. The Crusade is upon us. Tomorrow morning.
We ventured out last night to Portland Velo’s First Friday gathering at the Lucky Lab and then over the Roots Brewing Company for the Cross Crusade Kickoff Party. The ‘crossers were out in force. Rabid. Frothing.
