Cross Crusade #4

Yesterday the Cross Crusade Series continued its march toward mayhem with a fantastic race out at Flying M Ranch in Yamhill. It was my first time at this annual party that calls itself a cyclocross race and it more than lived up to its reputation.

The beer flowed and the hilarious costumes showed that Portland’s ‘cross scene is really all about having fun. Brad Ross and the Crusade crew put their courses not just near the spectator area, but directly through them. The result are races that are just as fun to watch as they are to race…especially when there’s a keg in every corner.

People's Ride

[People’s Ride in
Southeast]

It might be Fall but I’ve got to say this that last weekend was so festive it reminded me of Summer. There were tons of opportunities to dress-up, ride and have fun on bikes.

Some folks got an early start on the weekend at the annual Superhero-themed Breakfast on the Bridges. Check out Carye Bye’s great photos of the action.

Later on Friday was the traditionally spooky Critical Mass ride as well as a new ride this year, the People’s Ride. I joined the People’s Ride at Ladd’s Circle Park and we rode all over Southeast before meeting up with the Critical Mass group amidst hoops, hollers and flashing lights under the Hawthorne Bridge.
