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.

Scott from uBRDO
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.

Trent burning the last gallon
But what can you do. It’s the bitching and moaning that makes the difference between a baconstripper and a Creampuff… Good work TRENT!!

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!

With the lights of P hoe nix glowing on the horizon Nooner, Gris and I roll south towards Tucson.

On the way down we stopped off @ bootleg canyon. Super cool spot. We did some riding, some hucking, some getting cold in the wind. Gris went big over a gap jump and Nooner took a hard landing off a tabletop.

None the worse, we rolled on before dark towards Cave Creek, AZ with the Serrius 90’s alt rock blasting to meet up with JR and Shredder @ her parents house.

In the morning we’ll head to 24 hour town to rendezvous with McGuinness, Huck Tater, Reedster, Nat, CellerRat and more. Might need more PBR…

OutlawCross

Well, we found it this time! There was a small crowd, and they were all FAST! So I claimed my first DFL of my career. There’s no shame in loosing, it just means you’re a candyass. But at least I got 2nd singlespeed and 1st fixed. So all y’all’s sukkas!! (JR was in bed, another victim of timepiece dysfunction or I’d have been 3rd and 2nd…) OutlawCross
Anyway there it is. Next race, Thursday. Meet @ Walden’s @ 6:45, train sails @ 6:55. So if you have your watch set back 15 minutes for some reason, you get to drive yourself and then wonder if you can make it back to boomtown with the tank on empty…

ps The adds are gone. All the feedback was negative. So I sold the movie rights. Too bad Don Knotts is dead…
