PSU hosts track event at Alpenrose

This Saturday, the Portland State University cycling club is hosting the Collegiate Track Regionals at Alpenrose Velodrome. The event starts with a “Good Morning” clinic for anyone new to the track. There’s a free potluck at noon and the racing goes on throughout the afternoon.

The race director is none other than the blues harmonica-playin’, founder of B.I.K.E., John Benenate so you know it will be a good time. And word on the street is that some of John’s “kids” will be on hand for autographs.

So enjoy a day out at the track and support starving collegiate cyclists!

Sam Adams makes another good move

That Sam Adams guy really knows how to pick a good team. He has just added none other than bike fun dynamo Elicia Cardenas to his staff. It’s a smart move by Sam because Elicia is the type of person you want with you, not against you. She’s sharp as a tack, sits on all sorts of important committees, works for the BTA and is a great asset to the community.

Here’s a photo of Elicia I dug up from the archives. It shows her in a “bike box” while leading the Transportation Geeks Ride during this year’s Pedalpalooza.

Bike stolen at Chunkathalon – Recovered!

[UPDATE! This bike has been recovered! Read about it here]

Amid the chaotic merriment of the recent Chunkathalon, some guy got this really nice bike stolen. I saw him make the sad announcement at the event and he’s pretty broken up about it. He’s even put up this website to help find it. Here are the details:

“On or around 5 P.M. thieves used some sort of tool to cut through my Kryptonite brand u-lock. They took the bike, an attached helmet, and the bulk of the u-lock. All that was left was a straight chunk of the U, cut just at the start of the curve. The bike had been locked to a utility pole support wire. There were plenty of other bikes locked up in the vicinity and people were milling around. Chunkathon was taking place about 1.5 blocks away. Large reward for information leading to safe recovery. “

Come on BikePortland readers, let’s help this guy find his bike. If you’ve got any info call Nick @ 503.819.6324 or email nick[a]emilive.com.
