Ingrid had some buddies from New York in town, and we took them to the waffle house and triple falls.

Sara and Elan stole our STP berths and rode down this weekend. They both had a great time and enjoyed Por Que No and some of Ingrid's cookies back at our house.

Ingrid and I rode out to Condon to get the cobwebs off the motos. We stayed at the Condon Hotel and ate at their restaurant (that is shutting down shortly). We rode back to Portland via Antelope and Shaniko (that has good icecream and sandwiches). I found out what happens when you accidentally ride on your reserve.

Short track race #3. I took many incorrectly exposed and out of focus photos of Ingrid, these are the few I didn't munge in the name of 'art'.

We went down to the beach for the annual F-15 flyby, though this year there was a low ceiling and no flyover. So we had to be content with the traditional parade where we get pelted with candy. Simone wanted to be in the parade, she even had a special dress for the occasion. She didn't forsee the repercussions of us getting very little candy when she wasn't standing by us.
We did stood by other traditions and layzed around, grilled meat and took pictures of Simone. Ingrid's mom, two brothers and girlfriend (she's Tom's girlfriend, not both of theirs girlfriend - that'd be weird) came down and hung out as well. I rode the Triumph down as it was supposed to be nice out, instead I had my first experience riding in the rain.

This was the second Portland Mountain Bike Short Track race. The first has no pictures as I don't have a cable to get the internal memory photos to the computer. In any event, Ingrid had a great time scooting around the track.
