Shortrack Mt. Bike
Matt, JT and Ingrid raced in the Short Track Series at PIR> It was a pretty cool track and looked like a lot of fun.

Van's first trip
Ingrid and I went up to Mt. Hood in the van's first trip. We went first to some crappy state campground, but it was uber iffy looking, so we continued up to Sherwood Campground a little further south. It was a really nice campground and we hung out there two days. We went biking on Saturday along the East fork of the Hood river. The ride was easy and pretty short as the upper part was washed out.
The van worked out really well for camping. It was nice to just pull over, pop the top and go to sleep. We even rigged up a shower curtain so we could use the solar shower after biking.
Home
Mom came over and helped me turn the ground over, kill some weeds and get the backyard ready to fend off the birds from the blueberry bushes. We replanted some strawberries, but they are dead now. As dead as the damned scale now that the Fit/Fatbowl is over.

Government Camp to Timberline
Trey had told me about a race a few years ago from Government Camp to Timberline Lodge. The fastest time was 25 minutes, which is impressive given it's around 2,000' gain over 6 miles. I was aiming for 45-60 minutes. I ended up getting 39 minutes which I thought was pretty good. I found out later that I didn't do the same route as them, so I'll be redoing this soon. The monitor showed me as having over 180bpm on the way down, but that was just a misread.
