To hurdle or hop? ‘Cross Clinic #3
[This is the third report in a series on learning cyclocross by contributor Stephanie Chase. Read the other two here and here.]
I run like a fairy. Seriously. Stick me in a tutu, cue “Swan Lake,” and I would fit right in; except for the fact that I’m in cycling shoes, sweating, awkward, and holding a bike.

This morning in front Skidmore Fountain, as MAX trains rumbled by, a small group of supporters and onlookers heard transportation and neighborhood activist Chris Smith make the first speech of his campaign for Portland City Council.
I’ve seen and heard Smith at countless meetings over the years, but now it’s a whole new ballgame.

Imagine being at the Oregon State Fair, chomping on a plate of fried food, and hearing a packed crowd erupt in a thunderous roar as track racers fly by on the way to a thrilling finish.
Earlier this month, a group of track racing promoters met with the Director of Oregon State Parks Tim Wood and took a step toward making that vision a reality.
Stolen Windsor unknown
bright cobalt blue frame no serial #, everything else is black: black grip tape, black seat, pedals, rims, & hubs. it has a Dimension flip flop hub on the rear wheel. both front and rear are Velocity Deep V rims. it’s a fixie with brakes. it was the only time i’ve let it stand unlocked. and it was gone in less than 5 minutes. please let me know if you see it around; that bike means a lot, and i am an idiot for thinking i’d get away with no lock, even for a few minutes. thanks.
