Is that David Auker I am seeing on the road in SW Portland?

First of all, I want to make it clear that I know absolutely nothing about David's current situation, and I am not a medical expert.

My mother had a massive stroke when she was about 65-years old. Her doctors were very discouraging, pretty much advising me to 'pull the plug'...after much stressful thinking, I decided to keep her connected to the machines...a few day's later, she began to recover, and eventually returned to 98% of her former self.

All that I am saying is that I think stroke recovery is pretty unpredictable and is not an exact science. Let's keep thinking positive thoughts for David.

David was out ridding today and had a stroke about a block from his home. He is OHSU and from what I was told by his son..It's not looking good.

Please keep him in your heart and pray if you can.. David has and still is a large part of cycling on the west coast.

Thanks

Hello Oregon cyclists,

Northwest Race Report.com publishes every Monday and Thursday. As of

Wednesday, we have more than 202,000 hits and more than 80,000 page views

for the month of March.

Be sure to check out the David Auker Q&A

(http://nwracereport.com/index.html) entitled "King David." If you didn't

race in the 70s, 80s or even the early 90s, you likely don't realize now

what the big names of the sport knew back then, which was, if you want to

win a bicycle race on Northwest soil, you have to go through David Auker to

do it.

Also, Matt Hill's column on chamois cream is informative and at the same

time quite comical. Hill is a tremendous athlete, a very good musician (so

I'm told), and as it turns out, quite a good columnist. Be sure to take a

look at his work.

We're slated to cover the Kings Valley Road Race near Corvallis, Ore., on

April 6 and then we're back in Seattle the next day for the Boat Street

criterium. Both these are coveted crowns and the racing action should be

very intense. The Kings Valley race is of particular interest to those

wanting to showcase early-season form. The climbs aren't steep, but long.

And the roads are less than smooth. The strongest will prevail there.

This weekend it's the Snohomish Road Race on the outskirts of Seattle, an

event that's also built a reputation as a strongman's proving ground. Last

year two of the strongest in the Northwest ? Recycled Cycles rider Brian

Ecker and Super Squadra's Ian Tubbs ? got clear on the first lap and stayed

that way to the line, with Tubbs out-sprinting the TT specialist Ecker for

the win. This year, Saturn's perennial 20-race-wins/year man Kenny Williams

has expressed interest in a victory there. I anticipate a real slugfest,

especially on the leg-breaking feed hill.

We're still looking for Oregon columnists. If you're interested or know

someone who might fit the bill, drop me a line. No experience necessary.

And... I'll see you at the races,

Joe Zauner
