Due to popular demand we have added two new categories for the series, Men's 50+ and 60+. They'll be racing in the 5:55pm time slot and so long as folks are into it we'll have it on the schedule for the rest of the series.

I can't quite believe the amount of great coverage that our local photogs can produce each week. Some highlights from around our world:

In the bummer category I need to warn all of you about something that occurred along the Columbia Slough bike path on the way to PIR last week and advise that you stay off of it for the remainder of the season. Skjelse Rapoch was riding out to the race when she was hit by a rock thrown at her and knocked from her bike. She's in a pretty bad way and racking up the bills pretty quickly. Please do what you can to help her and her family out on her gofundme site: https://www.gofundme.com/skjelserapoch. Our community is a great one so I have no doubt that folks will do what they can.

Clinics happen every week before the start of the races. If you want to get some expert instruction at the hands of a professional, stop by the PBS tent at 5:30.

Registration for today���s race will be open until 3pm and will be $18: http://www.portlandtrophycup.com/goods/september-20-registration. The price goes up to $22 if you register at the race. We���re happy either way, just make sure that you burn enough calories to enjoy that slice of Tastebud pizza after your race (and maybe a beer).
