We went out to the Cyclecross in Rainier on the way to Astoria. We saw lots of people biff it in the sandpit, nothing on film though.

Ingrid, Matt and Jeremy - known as JT to his people, ran cyclecross at Hornings Hideout off of Pumpkin Ridge Road. It was badass.There's some dude who rolls on a modified mountain bike w/ a leaf spring for the front shock. I saw him pass quite a few people.Not Matt or JT though.

On Sunday we went out to Alpenrose to do a Cross Crusade race. Matt and I rode in the beginner race where I came very close to dead last, Matt got 45th(ish). I blame it on my bike. Ingrid rode w/ the women and did really well.

Last Sunday we went to watch Matt do his first cyclecross race. It looked pretty badass. He got 13th out of like 40 which was pretty good. It looked like enough fun that Ingrid and I are going to do it next weekend. Ingrid will use his bike and I'll convert my old mountain bike to a single speed and give it a whirl

I got two videos of Matt riding. Hopefully you can hear the little girl who was cheering everyone on.video 1  video 2

On Saturday Mom & Dad came over to put up new gutters on the West side of my house. The old ones were Mickey Mouse and would just funnel the water to one part and waterfall from there. The new ones look pretty nice.

Last Friday was Ingrid's 27th birthday. We went out to Mexican on Alberta St. and then out for a few drinks across the street. The next day we rolled down to Bend to bike on Phil's Trail and the Whoop-De-Doos. Kellie put us all to shame.
