Pedalpalooza isn’t happening ’til June…but the organizers are already going full pedal getting everything ready. A great thing about Pedalpalooza is that anyone can be a part of it by hosting their very own bike fun event….but the deadline for getting on the oh-so-important printed calendar (watch for it around town!) is just a few days away. So…if you have an idea for a bike event – perhaps a family neighborhood ride that ends in a picnic? – simply send an email to bikefun2005@riseup.net and a friendly volunteer will help you out.

Oregonians at Sea Otter Classic
Last weekend I attended the Sea Otter Classic…a "celebration of cycling" that is like Woodstock for bike lovers. Oregon based cyclists had a great showing. Most notable was Portland’s own Doug Ollerenshaw who won the Pro Road Race! You can read more about his amazing ride here.
I also ran into Molly Cameron (owner of VeloShop in downtown Portland) who had a great showing in the Semi-Pro field.
Other Oregonians in attendance included racer Evan Plews, Dan Houghton, the mechanic for Team Subway and Doug from BicyclingHub.com.
