So I’m now back from Bend- which kinda sucks as I love it out there. I’ll post a little more of a wrap-up later but I figured I should give a little update first. Before I do, I have to mention that 27 Cat 4 women came out for the High Desert Omnium Road Race!!!! Rad!

Congrats to Adam who took 3rd at the MTB World Cup XC in Bromont, CA.
Congratulations also to the Yakima Bike Vigilantes who WON flugtag!
Best of luck to the all the riders going down to Natz- they include- Jacob Rathe, Carson Miller, Marcel deLisser, Ian Boswell, Wes Stein and Ally Stacher (I hope she found a ride). Martha sent me some more women! Hilary Billington, Allison Beall, Suz Weldon, Dana Robertseon Halter and Martina Patella!
If I missed anyone- let me know!
The Tour of Elk Grove doesn’t like Oregonians.
Poor Dougie went down in Elk Grove during the TT. Here’s his post on the matter.
Horner also went down and broke his collarbone which means he will miss out on the Vuelta.
The Portland Twighlight Crit will be very interesting- Omer, Dougie, Evan Elken and Ryan T. all plan on being there.
Big well wishes to the folks at biketiresdirect.com. Hope y’all are back up and running quickly!
Russ Roca, a eco friendly cycling bike photographer will be moving to Portland in the upcoming spring.
