I was out shooting photos yesterday of all of you riding up those really steep hills. I heard there was a new climb (up English?) that was as close as you could get to a Tour of Flanders type climb as you could hope for in Portland, but wasn't able to find it. Following those painted lions is pretty tough in a car. So I stuck to the big familiar climbs and the start and finish.
A lot of you asked me where my photos would be posted. I said I would send a message to the OBRA list with the location. So, here they are:

There are a lot of photos of people suffering. Feel free to use any of these pictures for personal use (blog, Facebook, etc...). If you do use any of my photos, I'd appreciate some photo credit and a link back to my site (www.dmroth.com/cycling.html) If you would like the larger size original, email me and we can work something out. Thanks to the unidentified lion painters for putting this event together and finding such great climbs.
Enjoy!
