  • Reality on the grounds of Insanity, Pain in HD

      I'll let you decide which one is more real! Yesterday was Crusade #2 and a brand new course down in WIllsonville.  The event was held in a subdivision that is being built up on the grounds of the old state mental hospital. The course seemed more like a short track mountain bike course...

  • A kick in the cross

      Unless you were locked away someplace, you probably know that Sunday was the first event of the Cross Crusade series taking place up at the Alpenrose Dairy here in Portland.  The turnout was nothing short of epic, with close to 1300 riders doing battle on course condition that changed a huge...

  • Pain on the Peak Wrap

      Wow, it's over.   The biggest single point of focus of my life for the past 39 days is over and done with.  I'm still working on a few small odd's and ends, but for all intensive purposes I'm finding that I have a lot more free time in my day right now. If 40 days...

  • Oregon Coast Challenge, June 2008

    By Portland Velo member John Lucas South of Gold Beach Just 3 years ago, when I joined Portland Velo, my longest ride on a bike was probably less than 15 miles. Hip and knee pain had cut short my running career and I was looking for an alternative form of recreation. My wife’s brother, Jim Eddy, a long...

  • Labors of Love

      September already... the time where the air has just a bit of a chill to it in the mornings and evenings and occasionally you catch that whiff of the Fall season on a light breeze.  September is a month of changes.  Back to school for some, baseball shifts to college football for others...

  • owie...

      I raced a few cross events last season and had my share of spills.  I've managed to topple on my road bike a few times as well, almost always a slow speeds and in really embarrassing ways.  Like on the very first ride I did with clip pedals.  I started in too low of a gear,...

  • Club Kit Order Update

    A new jersey? Perhaps long sleeves, and a vest. Maybe it's a new pair of shorts as a reward for all the riding you've done this summer. You've waited all year for this - and in a few short days (perhaps hours) you'll finally be able to order your Fall'08 Portland Velo Club Kit! Huzzah...

  • NEVER RIDE HARD ON TIRED LEGS. NEVER. EVER.

    Rewind. Stop. Play. NEVER RIDE HARD ON TIRED LEGS. NEVER. EVER. This absolute core principle of intelligent training is repeated mantra-like by most of us. And all too often ignored. But do so at your peril, be you race teamer or serious fitness rider. Who says? Well, everyone. Including Scott Saifer...
