COME WATCH!
Come watch the area’s fastest cyclists compete for the region’s biggest purse in the Health Net Portland Twilight Criterium. The course surrounds the North Park Blocks of downtown Portland, creating an island oasis of 360-degree viewing, music, food and beverage. There are several places where you can get close enough to feel the wind from the peloton. Each lap is one-half mile long which takes the racers just over one minute to complete. The course is highly technical so fields are limited to eighty riders.
The event is free to attend and great for families. Come downtown Friday evening, to experience the excitement yourself.
What do Portlanders ride?
Back in January, a member of the Portland Bike Forums started a thread asking what other folks ride.
Since then, over 70 people have replied. I thought it’d be fun to take a look at the wide variety of bikes posted. Here is just a sampling…

My office is just a few blocks from where Johnny Eschweiler drove his car into Ben Ramsdell and Timothy Mastne last Friday.
Yesterday I went over to check out the lay of the land, hoping for a clearer understanding of this unconscionable act of road rage.
While I snapped photos and let my mind wander to the various conversations and news reports I’ve heard and read in the past few days, I noticed someone taking a smoke break at a nearby shop.
As I approached Sean Bennett and told him why I was snooping around, he immediately began sharing what he experienced that day. “I didn’t see it, but we definitely heard it. They ended up right over there,” he shared as he pointed to a grassy area where SE Clinton St. veers south and becomes SE 10th (view map below).

Portland cyclist and web development guru Brian Ellin has created Velog, a social networking site for cyclists.
Ellin says the site is, “like a blend of Twitter.com and the Bike Commute Challenge website.”
The site is “city centric” to encourage users to find other cyclists with similar riding interests nearby. Once signed up, users can log rides, post updates, add friends, and create groups and communities.

Portland’s City Commissioner of Parks, Dan Saltzman, will get a taste of local bike racing when he pays a visit to Portland International Raceway (PIR) on Monday (8/27).
The site — which has hosted bike racing since the mid 1970s — is home to popular road racing events held each Monday and Tuesday during the summer as well as mountain bike and cyclocross racing.
Saltzman’s visit was coordinated by Monday Night Racing Series organizer Jim Anderson. Anderson says the event, “will give the OBRA (Oregon Bicycle Racing Association) community an opportunity to share with the commissioner how they have benefited from this venue.”
