TOUR DE
LAB
September 11 - Portland
The dog days of summer
are coming to a close which means it's time for Tour de Lab,
Portland's most fun urban ride with cyclists dressed up as
dogs as they traverse the city trotting from one Lucky Lab
brew pub to another in support of Dove Lewis Emergency
Animal Hospital. Choose from the mostly-flat 18 mile Puppy
Course that visits three pubs, or show off your inner
bulldog with the hillacious 30 mile Big Dog Hill Climb
Challenge over Council Crest, which visits all four Lucky
Lab locations. New this year, the Puppy Route gives riders a
chance to take 'er easy and it skips the steep Multnomah
Village location.
At each rest stop, you'll munch on human treats and people
biscuits as you earn your dog ears and dog nose to proudly
sport along the ride. There is a Best in Show costume
contest awarding prizes for people dressed as "things dogs
chase", the best group costume, the most elaborate and the
most humorous costume. Get your UPS driver outfit together,
or don your cutest kitty costume and get ready to be chased
all over town.
When you arrive to the finish line you'll be treated to a
free microbrew (or other drink) poured in a commemorative
etched pint glass. Lunch is served in the "Dog Park" of
Lucky Lab's Northwest location for an all-you-can eat hot
dog bar with pasta salad and all the best summertime fixins.
Hang out with the other dogs and enjoy Lucky Lab's
award-winning craft beer, including their famous Super Dog
IPA.
Tour de Lab is a howling good time - perfect for groups of
friends - and the last ride of summer that is not to be
missed. Discount coupons are available in retail locations
through Sunday, September 5th and registration is discounted
through ORbike through Thursday, September 9th.

SUPER D SERIES RACE NUMBER TWO
Oakridge Super D
August 29th, 2010
WHAT IS A SUPER D/ENDURO
MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE?
A Super D/Enduro
mountain bike race is best described as a downhill
cross-country race. Therefore it encompasses roughly 80% of
descending and 20% of climbing built into the course. Super
D racing is for the all-around rider with DH, XC and
Freeride skills. Most mountain bikes are adequate for a
Super D race, but an all-mountain or cross-country trail
bike with 4” to 7” of dual suspension travel is ideal. Super
D races are becoming very popular and often the race of
choice for the majority of mountain bikers. Many
international events are incorporating this discipline into
their overall race structure and we are now seeing more
Super D’s than ever before within the mountain bike
industry.

DEW TOUR PORTLAND OREGON STOP
Wendy’s Invitational
Aug. 12-15
Portland – Rose Quarter
info from the Oregon Sports Authority
The Dew Tour, the world’s premier
season-long action sports tour, today
announced its complete schedule for the 2010
season, which includes its return to
Portland for the third stop of the five-city
circuit. The only city that has hosted the
Dew Tour since its inception six years ago,
Portland’s Rose Quarter will once again be
the site of the Wendy’s Invitational, August
12-15, and will feature the world’s greatest
talent in action sports.
“After holding successful
events in Portland for the past five years,
it was obvious that it should remain the
backbone of the Dew Tour,” said Chris
Prybylo, Alli Vice President of Events and
Dew Tour General Manager. “With
knowledgeable and enthusiastic fans, we know
that, as it always has in the past, the
Portland event will be one of the great
highlights of the 2010 Dew Tour.”
“As one of the original host
cities, we couldn’t be more thrilled to host
the Dew Tour again this year,” said Chris
Oxley, General Manager of the Rose Quarter.
“Action sports are the life blood of this
city, and hosting the Dew Tour year after
year only strengthens that legacy.”
“We’re proud to still be a
part of the Dew Tour’s success,” said Drew
Mahalic, CEO of the Oregon Sports Authority.
“We’ve seen the Tour grow since the very
beginning, and knowing that we’ve been a
part of that is a great feeling for us.”
Tickets for the 2010 Dew
Tour are available via the Rose Quarter Box
Office, participating Safeway/TicketsWest
locations, online at ComcastTIX.com and by
phone at 877.789.ROSE (7673).

PORTLAND
TWILIGHT CRITERIUM 2010 PRESENTED BY SUBARU
August 13 - Portland,
Oregon
The streets of
downtown Portland are about to get wild as lightning fast
racers storm the city for the annual Portland Twilight
Criterium, presented by Subaru. The area's fastest cyclists
will compete for the region's biggest purse in this
extremely thrilling nighttime bike race. The course
surrounds the North Park Blocks of downtown Portland,
creating an island oasis of 360-degree race viewing.
There is plenty of fast-paced excitement for cyclists and
spectators along the race's highly technical course. You can
get close enough to the action to feel the wind from racers
rushing by as they complete each half-mile lap in just over
one minute. The layout of the course allows for many
excellent vantage points. Volunteers are needed, and
volunteering is a cool way to see the race while being
smack-dab in the middle of the hot racing action.
This free event features a Widmer Beer garden and a special
handbuilt bike show. Builders will be on site to talk about
their unique creations. Bring a picnic or visit the food
carts and grab a seat on the grass for one of Portland's
most thrilling downtown events. The festivities and food
carts open at 4:00om and races begin at 6:30pm.

PROJECT EPISODE 6
Episode 6 of The Atherton Project

involves sitting in a wheelbarrow
and being towed around at lightning
speed by a quad bike, offroad. Of
course. Then it's on to Leogang in
Austria for Round Four of the World
Cup, with the Athertons still on a
high from Fort William. Some huge
crashes from Rachel in qualifying
cause her to wonder if she's pushing
that bit too hard. Is it time for
her to rethink her game plan?
Meanwhile Gee's World Cup rivalry
with Greg Minnaar continues - who's
going to come out on top after Round

making the CAT 2/3 track, long and challenging. The most
technical woods portions of the track will now offer line

a few changes to the Pro Track
for 2010, with the re-introduction of the log step down

ALPENROSE CHALLENGE
July
16-18 - Portland
info from the ORBike Newsletter
The 11th Annual Alpenrose
Velodrome Challenge is a three-day race featuring elite riders,
national and international champions and future world-class
Olympians delivering some of the best cycling action in the
United States while racers compete for track records and cash
prizes. The Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge is unique for its
caliber of competitors, venue and a challenging course. The
event will draw more than 100 elite Women, Men and Masters 40+
category racers competing for over $13,000 in prizes, making it
one of the richest purse track races in the country. This year's
line-up includes two-time U.S. Olympian Jame Carney and Travis
Smith, a Canadian Olympic hopeful and currently the world's
number one ranked sprinter. The Women's field includes
multi-time national champions Cari Higgins and Cristin Walker,
both USA National Team members.
The Alpenrose Velodrome is one of only 20 bicycle racing tracks
in the nation. With corners positioned at a 44-degree angle,
racers must maintain a constant speed of 12.5 miles per hour in
order to remain upright on the track, which won't be a problem
as these athletes will reach speeds up to 40mph. In addition to
being one of the steepest banks in the nation, the track is also
unique in that it is made of concrete; most others are wooden.
The Alpenrose Velodrome Challenge takes place on July 16, 17 and
18 and it is free to watch this exciting race. On the opening
Friday evening, Papa Murphy's Pizza will be giving away free
pizza to the first 250 attendees. The Velodrome is located at

TIMBERLINE
BIKE PARK UPDATE
Source: Timberline Lodge and the Gorge Freeride blog
Hello Riders,
Now that we're
finally rolling into summer, we wanted to give you all an update
on Timberline's mountain bike project. Since our last
communication, we have received an unbelievable amount of input.
Hundreds of letters of support have been submitted to the US
Forest Service. We've already received a ton of great ideas and
comments on what the public is hoping to see in our mountain
bike program once it's launched. Needless to say, this has
energized us even further on our mission to create the best
lift-accessed downhill mountain bike area in the US Pacific
Northwest.
The US Forest
Service has decided that it's important to do additional
environmental analysis (known as an EA) and we are scheduled to
complete it in December. This will
require public involvement and an analysis of environmental
impacts.
Thanks for all the
letters of support that have been submitted so far -- they have
been extremely helpful to the project by demonstrating the
overwhelming demand for this activity! There will be at least
one more important time to voice your support during the
official public review and comment period of the EA -- scheduled
to happen in October.
As it stands now,
Gravity Logic will be on-site this summer to design and flag the
new trails, we will complete the Environmental Analysis with the
US Forest Service, and we will complete our operational plans.
If the EA is approved, our team will be ready to start building
as soon as the snow melts next summer (2011).
Here is a article from the Oregonian also:
TIMBERLINE
PROPOSES TO ADD CHAIRLIFTS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS
If the
Timberline ski area's
plans go through, next summer mountain bikers will be able to
bomb down miles of new trails on Mount Hood, load their bikes
onto the Jeff Flood Express chairlift and ride again.
Timberline's proposal, which the U.S. Forest Service opened for
public comment this week, also includes a mountain biking
"skills park" near the
Wy'East Day Lodge with
jumps, boardwalks, see-saws and ramps.
