Race number five of the series greeted the racers with the most challenging

course set to date by race promoter Brad Cockman. Light rain kept the

usually dusty course hard and fast and the possibility of snow was a

non-factor due to the unusually high temperatures in Central Oregon. There

was a healthy turnout due to the upcoming Cyclocross National Championships

in Portland and the lack of any other major races in the area.

The A race saw a battle brewing between Bike Gallery's Troy Tucker and

series leader Mark King of Sunnyside Sports. It wasn't until the fourth lap

that Tucker was able to get away after King mis-judged a bunny hop of the

double barrier section near the start/finish, sending him tumbling over the

bars. Tucker increased his lead over the final four laps, while King,

bloodied from the mishap, soldiered on to keep the second position.

Sunnyside's Mike Schindler rounded out the final podium spot taking third.

Fifteen racers lined up for the B race that saw every kind of bike

combination imaginable. Moustache handle barred 'cross bikes, single-speeds

and a road bike sans knobbys drew the line for this event. Sunnyside's Karen

Kenlan rocketed off to an early lead, but first through the start/finish was

Compass Commercial's Jake Norris on his road bike. Luckily for Jake there

was not a lot of mud to gum-up the works. Eventually, Half-Fast Velo's Wade

Goff, riding a single-speed, would take over the lead and never relinquish

it. Nathan Spear of Fred Meyer moved up from fifth to second, and roadie

Jake Norris would hang on to take third.

The C race battle was between Brian Englen and Tony Hobkirk. The duo would

play cat-and-mouse throughout the four lap race with Englen eventually

putting a small gap on Hobkirk. He held this gap all the way to the finish

for the win. Hobkirk was second, followed by Sunnyside's Mike Pulzone a

not-to-distant third.

The final race of the series will be held Sunday, December 7th barring a

major snowstorm that would bury the course and the following weekend the US

National Championships will make its way to Portland International Raceway

thanks to Club Vivo and OBRA. It's been a healthy season of 'cross in the

Pacific Northwest!
