Clydesdale

Erik Voldengen

2009-12-13

It was great. There were costumes, my favorite being Brad Ross uber
Euro polka dot climbers jersey. Shorts and short sleeves in 30
degrees. And no gloves. Gloves are not Euro, nor sexy. Such is Brad
Ross.

Deschutes was pouring beer out of a trailer shaped like an old school
wooden keg. The course was lined with screaming fans. It was loud.

I don't remember who won. Coker came in second with a crash induced
crooked seat and was intensly disappointed at loosing his crown. It's
not every day you race for Champion of the Universe, you know.

Don't know if I can write anything as I was there but not sure what really happened!? Michele DID take pictures.
I'd like to send one photo so people can "Guess the Cydesdale" but not sure how to send it to this forum? If someone can help I'll gladly post it.

Great rides by Oregon - SW Washington riders in nearly every race! Too many
to list.

Andy,Doug & Brad have created close to the perfect course that has had
changing conditions almost on a lap to lap basis just to keep you on your
toes.

And, tonight the Clydesdales rule!

 If you aren't here, you should be!
