Tacks on the road

Dan H.

2004-07-12



At the start of stage 5 of CCC to start, the road was temporarily blocked

while we waited for police / traffic control. A family in a SUV parked next

to me and the father got out of the car and said: "I'm going up there and

have them clear the **** road! - Adults on toys!"

Just remember that's most Americans think about cycling. I wouldn't be

surprised if was a tournament dart player of something.

Would it be somewhat useful to contact the city/county about this? Isn't it

malicious mischief or something of a crime? I saw tons of tacks on the road

last year at the Larch TT. . I have this feeling it is adults and not kids.

How immature.

Today I was riding the historic highway out to crown point. On the stretch

Between Springdale and Corbet I picked up three thumb tacks in my front

tire. I chanced my tube once, but ended up riding home with one tack in. I

also passed another rider who had piched up a tack. I think this may be a

repeat of the tack distribution that we encountered at the Larch Mtn. TT

last summer, Be careful if you ride out there, and take at least two spare

tubes, or a bunch of patches. Enjoy the weather.

From what I understand, the Portland Wheelmen met with the City Council of Corbett about this issue and I also understood that they know who it is and that they got that guy to stop doing it. It's obviously come up again though. You might contact the City Council of Corbett in a nice and professional manner about it though.

The stretch out of Springdale through Corbett is becoming "tack central." On

last year's PWTC's "Torture 10,000" ride, there were at least 11 flats from

tacks (I knowt the number got that high - I was the 11th). Someone's idea of

humor - or trying to cut down on the number of cyclists on the Gorge highway.



One note: it seems that the tacks are mostly (if not all) omn the East bound

side (i.e., toward Vista House from the Troutdale end). If anyone rides the

route and does see tacks - whether flatting or not - the courteous thing would

be to stop and chuck 'em far into the brush.
