Crosscrusade 2011 #8 PIR recap
Today’s race was held at Portland International Raceway. It was held in the same area as the USGP and STXC races. The weather was really cooperative and misted a little in the morning, but otherwise just your normal Fall day. We got some rain this week so the course was expected to be a little muddy. There has not been a lot of rain so the other races were drier then normal. I think we all were looking forward to playing in the mud today.

The course was fun and had some really technical (cyclocross-wise) sections.
This downhill section was fun to ride and watch people ride down and crash.
The mud really gummed up things.
After race Deschutes Beer and collectors cup.
I shot some video on the iPhone for the heck of it.
This is the techy section I mentioned above.
The rest of the videos were of kiddie cross. Clearly this should be the main reason why you go to a Crosscrusade event. Watching the little tikes on bikes on the same course as their parents is a highlight.
