Cascade Creampuff…
Got back Monday. Trend did epic battle with an epic trail and wound up dazzled by the awesome singletrack, cramping and puking a little. It was pretty hot. Pyrofloptic burned out three of the four climbs and called it a day.
I hung with Scott from uBRDO Cycle and Mountain in Kirkland WA most of the day. We did some wrenching, some BSing and some beer drinking. Good guy. Sounds like his shop is pretty much what TBS Bike and Sport would be like if such a thing existed…
There were a lot of fairly beat down people sunday. I suppose that was the point. I even got in on some of that action Saturday taking a hard slammer into the lower section of the Alpine Trail (?) which we rode with Nat and his crew from Seattle on Saturday. I think I broke (or bruised REALLY bad) a rib.
Oregon is amazing. The forests are SOOOO THICK!!! Ferns, evergreens, flowers, green plants EVERYWHERE!! And poison oak. Fortunately the had Techu for us in the showers. That stuff works pretty well. Doesn’t do shit for cramps though.
We met a dude named Kris from Seattle area who is an engineer for e13 components. He and trent helped pace each other in the first few laps. then Kris punked him with a can of Ensure. (We’ll get our revenge punk!!!) maybe pretty soon, Kris said he’s coming down for a Tahoe Epic, stay tuned…
I’m really stoked to get back up there and do more riding. Super bummed that TheRestlessApe and I got squeezed out of it due to being old and broken.
But what can you do. It’s the bitching and moaning that makes the difference between a baconstripper and a Creampuff… Good work TRENT!!

I looked for you in Vail, but I never saw you–pussy!
This is my buddy Dave from Allbeefjerky, Nerdmexico. I’m trying to get him to meet us for the 24 hours in the old pueblo next year…

If you’re going to be in the Cascade Cream Puff Zone this weekend look me up. TBS Rider TheRestlessApe dislocated his shoulder and can’t ride. This is after I hurt my knee and couldn’t ride. So post a comment if you are tall skinny and look like an ape and want to try to take his spot!

I don’t want to knock america’s adventure place (even if they do have a slick new website) but Afganistan is where it’s at for extreme mountain biking!
Since the invention of the motion picture camera, when man finally had the opportunity to put the works of Mellville and Bradbury in motion, the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains have been the set for hundreds of movies and TV shows. The most awesome of which have been the SciFi classics cause we all know we feel like we’re on another world in places like the Alabama Hills, the Buttermilks or rolling down the surreal depths of Saline Valley.
From Tom Mix, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry and the Lone Ranger to Jean Luc Picard and now Tony Stark in the new movie Iron Man, It’s not just a place for fulfilling your own outdoor hardman fantasies, though it does pretty damn well with those. This is not a review of Iron Man, except to say I liked it (read: was entertained) but I always love to see the East Side on film!
Ok, so when I was in the Theater I was POSITIVE that Tony Stark got Blowed up on Buttermilk Road right near the Tungsten Hills, but looking back @ the trailer I’m not so sure. My Mom said that a few months back they were @ the Alabama Hills and there was some filming going on. But still, most Jeep commercials are filmed @ the Buttermilks… Check out the opening sequence in this trailer for Iron Man, where somewhere on the East Side is standing in for the Afgani mountains:
Oh, we roasted the hell out of some schmoes…
And here’s the bike I helped my sister RozyT build with parts from Gris and Tongaroo!
We camped @ Y Boulder for the first time in YEARS! It was RAD.
Here’s ths whole video:
