I venture to say there’s no Cyclocross scene in the U.S that can rival Portland’s and its surrounding areas. While there are people from coast-to-coast with a passion for Cross, I’m sure; Portland is just on another level. The aforementioned proved true (as far as I’m concerned) at Sunday’s second round of the Cross Crusade, Horning’s Hideout. Competition was fierce in all categories and fields’ never dipped below 50 racers, not to mention the thousand-or-so friends, spouses and children vigorously ringing their cowbells.
Sadly, Sunday could have very well been my final race of the 2007, mostly due to minor injury and a sultry case of “racers burnout.” So, it’s for the best, but don’t be surprised if I’m out trying to throw it down this weekend.
Without further adieu, here’s this past Cross Crusade’s video recap. From the eyes of the Guinness Cycling Team, of course.

Ahhh… so that’s what they do at Horning’s Hideout when the summer concerts end and all the hippies have to scramble about trying to make sense of life. Luckily, summer will be back again, as will the good times and the righteous tunes.
