Oregon Manifest Handmade Bicycle Show

Here are some highlight from the show. I’ve got a pretty tacky point n shoot so a lot of photos were blurry. I’m not the kind of guy to go around flashing away with a dinky camera, so I keep the flash off and hope for the best. These are some of them.

Wilsonville 2008

This used to be a mental institution. Now they’ve torn it down and are replacing the whole area with condos and retail. There are brand new roads all over the area complete with bike lanes. But there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of people interested in moving to Wilsonville, or at least this part of it. It seems like building this kind of housing right now isn’t the best idea, but what do I know. I couldn’t afford new housing anyway.

Either way the race was fun. I dropped my chain on the first lap and knowing that it would happen again I just enjoyed myself. I ended up dropping the chain about five times total. And on the last lap after boosting off a little hip I came down and busted a flat. Game over.

Great race though. Looking forward to Rainier High tomorrow.

Alpenrose

This was the first race of the Cross Crusade season. The rain was misty during the singlespeed race, and pouring during the A’s. It was a good time had by most.

I’m trying out Picasa over Flikr. I like Google, and their photo thingamajig seems a bit smoother than Flikrs. I’m not sure how many sets or albums you can have without upgrading, but we’ll see how it goes. I’m just looking for a more user friendly (read: easy to use and maintain) solution than what I’ve been doing in the past.

Want to take a survey?

This site gets about 0 hits a day, but a guy named Ferdinand from the University of Amsterdam sent me an email asking if I would promote his survey that he’s taking.

It asks questions about biking, and if you read this, you’re probably into riding around. I just took it and it took about 8 minutes.

So if you’ve got some free time, hit this up.

Bavarian Bikes n Brews slideshow

This took place back in June of this year.

Located just north of Leavenworth, WA. 4 miles of switchback singletrack up. 4 miles of flowing singletrack down. Repeat three times.

I took off early on Friday morning and got to the farm sometime after 4pm. After that it’s all pretty much a blur.

Seattle to Centralia

Back in July I took a ride to Centralia. Now that I’m getting this flikr thing figured out, here is a set of photos from that trip.

This was taken with a small point-n-shoot down on the farm.

This is the Men’s A race. Next time the video will be a more diverse offering.
