So I finally have time to sit down and write- since those furry wankers got off the keyboard.
Wankers: WHE NOT WANKERS.
Umm… shush you two. Very busy day- had to process 56 applications- most of them from Spring Thaw! So… stats are we have over 2200 annual members so far. WHOOT! I am looking toward Mt. Hood with anticipation with the hope that I won’t get shelled (which I probably will- since my hillclimbing is no match for some of those fast 2’s). I needed to read this bikeradar article on climbing much earlier.
Talk about Mt. Hood- get out there and show your support! Check out Dougie’s preview and summary of what’s been going on in his corner!
Since I’ve last posted there’s been a whole bunch. Cyclingnews picked up on our Women’s Series announcement while Velonews seemed to have hit the snooze button. BOOOOO!

Blogs
Stephen Fitzgerald mentioned that North River Racing just launched their blog.
I don’t remember whether I posted this or not- but Dave posted their Cinco de Mayo PIR race report.
Looks like Zach has been blogging- and has a great little article on making your tires flat proof.
Kennett has also been active in blogging. Here’s his Table Rock report, his photos of what a college kid cyclist’s apartment looks like, his collegiate natz preview and his complaints about his upper body.
Erik has brought out one of the worst cycling pics evar taken while discussing bike shorts. It’s the “hot dogs on display” pic. He’s also had a pretty nasty sounding mechanical.
Mark posted the Veloforma Table Rock race report.
Sam has posted his Tour of the Gila Wrap-Up.
Brooke has come out of his CCX sleepiness and has been blogging.
Tyler has come back out to play since his computer went funky.
Martha has a Longbranch race report.
Looks like the Crossniacs have adopted Will Cortez.
Huh
Oh why oh why are the Japanese so strange sometimes?
