If you're one of those getting the cross jones, put the Hood River Double Cross on your schedule.  Come out to Hood River for the first two, yes, count 'em two cross races of the year, Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21.  Two fun days, two great races.  New prizes this year, combined trophies for Saturday/Sunday finishers, and much more (maybe a hoe-down - stay tuned!).
 
If you haven't been to Hood River in late summer/early fall, you should plan a trip for the weekend.  Book a hotel and bring the family - it's absolutely beautiful!
 
Hope to see you all in September,
 
Jeff

Who else here is ready for the cross season to start? I've had a great time
racing road and mountain bikes this year, but there's just something about
cross... Road racing is usually pretty stuffy, people just seem to take
themselves way too seriously. XC Mountain biking is a lot of fun, but even it
can't compare to the culture that cross brings. No one else has been able
to create such a festival atmosphere for a race. (Hornings and PDX Short Track
come close, though). Not to put anyone down, racing in Portland is overall
wonderful. I'm just looking forward to the heckling, encouraged sandbagger
callouts, cowbells, nearly naked racers, beer hand-ups, and ohhh the sweet
misery of it all.

Casey,

No beer hand-outs at short track (sorry, PIR rules), but next Monday we have the zoobombers and freakbikes over again, plus an ultra-short-track team relay, plus our series raffle and what not, so if you are in for some spectacle you should come out to race or watch.

Oh, and if you like to call out fellow racers for sandbagging or cheating, you might want to start with this guy who was caught on tape at last Monday's Sport Men 40+ race:

Oh yes, you're being watched! ;o)

Cheers,
