It takes the proper training, diet and mental fortitude to race the 'Cross

Crusade at the Johnson Farm. (well not really, but roll with me here a

little...)

Therefore, we have thoughtfully developed the following method of

preparation to ready you for the rigors of 'Cross Crusade #4 this Sunday.

What is this new-fangled method you ask? Simple, it's a Festival of 'Cross.

What exactly is happening at this "Festival" you ask? Truth is, we don't

know exactly what is going to happen either, but here is a reasonable

outline of activities you can expect.

Noon to ?- Spooky Glass Happening: Glass blowing, including special

limited edition 'cross crusade/ Halloween items. Special awards will also

be blown for Sunday's race.

Noon to 5pm- Pumpkin Carving Contest: dozens and dozens of pumpkins will

be on hand so you can show off your skills at artfully gouging these

seasonal gourds. Judging will be held in the 5 o'clock hour. Awards to the

top 3 "artists".

All Day (noon to ?)- Cider Press: What is cooler than making your own

apple cider? Okay, probably lots of things, but it's still pretty cool.

Bring your own apples as Johnson Farm is a tree farm, not an apple orchard.

You'll probably want to bring your own water too just in case (bottle's too

if you're planning on taking some home).

1pm- Poker Ride: Take out that 'cross steed or MTB and ride an extended

race course. Along the way, collect your poker hand (5 cards at 5 different

checkpoints). Best Hand wins.

3pm- Hash Run: The Oregon Hash House Harriers are starting a hash run at

the Johnson Farm. These runs are not competitive and a complete blast.

Distance is determined on the fly depending on the hare's mood, but it is

usually somewhere in the 4-6 mile range. Worth doing if you've never done

one. There is a $6 fee to pay for beer, food and whatever else is

associated with this event. This is not a 'Cross Crusade event, but we like

'em.

3pm-? Pig Roast and Potluck: The pig is suppose to be ready to eat

starting around 3pm. There will also be wanks and maybe something else as

well. This is a potluck though, so bring a dish or two if you plan to

partake in the food.

5pm- Headless Horseman: Ride your bike w/o your head (okay, it's just

covered). Your co-pilot will guide you to the pumpkin pick up and then back

to the starting line. Fastest time wins.

Free overnight camping on Saturday night for Sunday's Crusade race. Beer

provided by Portland Brewing. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be made

available for purchase. Costumes are encouraged for Saturday (and

especially for Sunday) but not necessary.

Notes: If you are planning on camping, it is req'd that you bring your own

essentials (water, food, toothbrush, etc). We are not planning a Bed &

Breakfast outing here. We also have no idea how many people will show on

Saturday, so we may be short on food or drink if you don't bring your own.
