The Oregon Manifest Handmade Bike Show (October 10-12 in Portland) is shaping up to be an event you won’t want to miss. I’ll be writing much more about the show in the days to come (not to mention complete daily coverage once it’s here).
Local bike apparel company, Rapha, has announced they’ll bring back their Roller Races event that was a smash hit when it was held during the North American Handmade Bicycle Show back in February.
This time around, in honor of the Oregon Manifest show and Portland’s cyclocross season, Rapha will host the “Cross Roller Race” event. Here’s how they describe it:
“…Cross Roller Racing is a highly competitive and thoroughly costumed night of 500 meter on-stage roller sprints combined with running, dashing and jumping through a 250 yard indoor cross course, complete with barriers, run-ups and Zoo-Bomb bikes.”
Sounds awesome. First prize for the ladies is a ‘cross frame from Sweetpea Bicycles and the guys will compete for a ‘cross frame from Signal Cycles.
