Prepare yourselves. The Cross Crusade — the world’s largest cyclocross series in terms of participation — kicks off this weekend at Alpenrose Dairy.
The event is going to be insane. Last year they had over 800 racers at Alpenrose and I have a hunch they’re going to hit 1,000 this time around. From pros to average Joes, ‘cross racing has something for everyone.

The Sprockettes, like you’ve never seen them before
Last week I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot for the beautiful and talented mini-bike dance troupe, The Sprockettes. During the shoot, someone suggested forming the letter “S” with their bodies.
That went so well, I figured what the heck, let’s go all the way. Here’s the result (I like how their arms look like links in a chain):

The BTA hosted an awards party for their Bike Commute Challenge last night: luckily not everyone who participated showed up.
Even though attendance at the party was double what organizers expected (over 400 people packed the inner-Southeast venue), the BTA revealed that nearly 10,000 Oregonians (and some Washingtonians) from 889 registered companies logged at least one trip as part of this year’s Challenge.

Back in August, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Mary Peters raised a ruckus for comments she made on a PBS talkshow.
When the conversation turned to transportation investments, Peters referred to “bike paths” as not being transportation infrastructure (she lumped them in with museums and lighthouses).
The comment raised the ire of many bike advocates and even the Director of the League of American Bicyclists, who called Peters out and demanded that she correct the “misleading impressions”.
Now, Peters has tried to do just that with a letter that showed up in inboxes of cyclists around the country this morning.
