Heck yeah, Portland IS the cross capitol of the US. The races are WAY fun to watch. I do own a cross bike, but I use it as my commuter. I'm definitely not coordinated to race cross! But I'll come cheer for all of you!

Hi Susan:
I'm a lot of things but I wouldn't list coordinated in the list! And, I race cyclocross! I used to think there was no way I could race Cyclocross, especially when I used to watch my hubby race in Santa Cruz area when we lived in California.
Later, when we moved to Flagstaff, I just decided that cross looked like a fun thing to do and that coordinated or not, I was going to try. So, I'm pretty good at getting off, not so good at getting back on the bike, but I still have fun doing it and that is what it is all about!
All the more power to uncoordinated Cyclocrossers! We just have to work harder!
:)
My husband just ordered a cyclocross bike (purchased a frame and the shop is building up the rest of it). He is interested in getting into cross racing, and I have to admit: I'm somewhat intrigued.
Please keep the postings coming because I'm going to keep reading! Who knows, maybe I'll get a cross bike next year. :)
