Last evening, we were able to watch part of the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic, Stage 1, the criterium, set at Mt. Tabor. The Cat 1 & 2 men started the 1.5 mile course at 6:30 pm; 156 feet per lap without resting for a 90 minutes. The rain stopped but the pavement was wet and slippery. A few guys fell going around corners, both downhill and going up. These guys are great riders! Amazing to watch. As my friend VA put it, "Do I even know HOW to ride a bike?"
(Rain watch - over 4.5 inches of measurable rain in May, the 3rd wettest May on record and more rain than we had this past February by over 2 inches!)
