i was there at 7:40 and it was snowing like crazy and the road were dangerous in your can let alone on a bike. i think it was the right decision, and i drove all the way from eugene. there was no way you could have safely held a race out there today.

What a bunch of wimps! That is so little snow it's pathetic. Your
average Californian could even ride in it.
Riders from the OTP area (Other Than Portland) have been riding worse
than that all winter.

I suspect someone was more concerned about a disappointing turnout.
