So instead of bellyaching - lets all just make a pact to go out and race, get our buddies, friends, enemies, and neighbors all out there racing - and push our numbers over 2000 at Alpenrose (and increase attendance at all of the other great CX races in Oregon!)... see what they say then ... huh?

"For part 3 of our 7 part series on domestic cyclo-cross races we head
across the country to the Pacific Northwest, a region that embraced
’cross early and has done its part to Americanize it. The Alpenrose
round of the Cross Crusade is historic and best described as hardcore
