Blind Date at the Dairy 10.5.11

Downpour. That is the only way to explain what happened at the dairy.  The skies opened up and water flooded out.  You can find all of our photos from the night by clicking on the photo above.

Cross Crusade: Aplenrose (2011)

Another year of great year for cyclocross.  Sadly enough there were a few injuries; one of them happened to be me.  I rolled my ankle on the hill side.  I tried walking it out but decided to take the safe route by leaving early and icing it.  Sorry, but we didn't get any races after the kids race.  I would also like to thank those who came to check on me when I was down on the ground.

Battle at Barlow (2011)

On Saturday as I was preparing for Barlow, I realized that I haven't shot Barlow since 2008.  I had big plans for the day, but didn't achieve any of them.  That being said, I still had fun and it was good seeing people that I haven't seen all year.

High Cascade 24 Hours of Bend (2011)

There is something about a 24 hour mountain bike race that makes you stop and ponder life.  Particularly the night time laps; when you seems to be miles away from anything and all alone.  It is one thing to be out racing and it is another being out there all alone waiting for racers and hearing every little noise. In central Oregon you can hear for miles.  Two racers having a converstatoin seem to be close by, only to ride by 10 minutes later.  Large noises are close by and you know that they aren't people.  How many mountain lions were just sitting and watching riders go by; pondering if they should try to catch one and eat like a king? 

In the morning, watching the sun come up, new life is upon us.  There is an excitement in the air but there is also a struggle to stay awake and alert.  After 24 hours, people have a sense of accouplishment and relief.  The race is done and no one runs up to the podium for their awards.

Sisters Stampede (2011)

Second year and another great event by the folks of Sisters Stampede.  The weather threatened to bring cold wet weather but it actually made a less dusty, cooler temperature race. 

We would like to thank Joel and the Sisters Stampede for supporting us.  Enjoy the free digital images due to their generousity.

Mudslinger (2011)

 

Mark this one down for the history books!  I am not sure if there has been a drier race at the current Mudslinger location.  I have seen hard rain, snow and even a sunny day, but have we seen it where there is a sunny day and several prior making the course lacking mud?  Okay, so let's be honest.  There was mud and it was slick, but it wasn't brake clogging, shoe losing, mudslinging mud. 

We would like to thank Mike and Mudslinger Events for their support.  Their generosity means that you can download medium resolution images to share with friends, family or who ever else you would like to.

Horning's Hustle (2011)

Rumor has it, that this might be the last year of the Horning's Hustle.  After this year's muddy slick conditions, some people may night mind.  If we did, it would be a sad day to loose another great course that is so close to Portland.
