Holy Diver
Okay, its official. These Portland folks are crazy.
Is this what overroasted coffee and lack of sunshine does to you?
The USGP heads to Portland this weekend. Of all the USGPs this was the one I wanted to attend. They may be whacked, but those Portlanders know how to have a good time in the mud. Katie Compton is back from her European stompfest and all the heavy hitters will be there. Velo Bella-Kona will have at least 10 women competing in the Elite Women's race:
Amy Dombroski, Shannon Gibson, Barb Howe, Shannon Holden, Marian Jamison, Anna Milkowski, Kathy Sherwin, Maria Stewart, Kari Studley and Jen Tilley.(Keep and eye on Amy Dombroski, by the way. She is only 20 years old and was 7th in the last two USGP events and earned the SRAM Most Agressive Rider Award)
But we are not going. Michael and I will probably be celebrating a cross free weekend. Because too much of a good thing, is still too much.

grail, shmail. it still looks like a tart.
the pastry i just had was pretty good, too. yum.
yay for the tart-sun!
they won't be having much of that in portland this weekend....
I witnessed the Dombroski phenomenon this weekend. That kid's a crusher. While she was turning over a huge gear, crushing through the mud, the look in her eye said murder.
She handed me her rain jacket at the start line Sunday (Sheila and I were collecting Barb's clothes) and I think I blushed.
