Thanks Evan, Brett, and rest of Capital Subaru Team for the fun course,
great swag, and awesome post race meal! I was expecting a dry course (not
sure why), and to my surprise, it must have rained in Oregon. That loop was
fast with a few twists, and the added moisture just made it better. I had
some traction issues with my front tire during warm up (Stan's The Raven),
but then Strasser showed up and let me borrow one of his 29er wheels
(Michelin XC) for the race -- what a guy! After the race, I was rewarded
with a killer turkey wrap and some tasty baked beans, very nice.
That's a great venue for STXC. I hope we see it again on the calendar.
