I've lived in Eugene since I was about 6. :)

I don't know if I would call Eugene flat, its got a nice mix of almost everything. Doesn't have really long and big climbs like places like Bend have, but surrounding areas/roads like Wolf Creek, McGowan, Grimes, etc. offer some good climbs.

Totally agree on the sporting culture of the area, luckily I do like Track and Field. I can't stand football though, couldn't care less about the college team (even though I'm a student at the college :eek:). Eugene does have a very good cycling community though and OBRA is a good organization.

Tricycle Rider, do you ever come out to the Tuesday night crits?
Hi ya neighbor, small world this is! :)

I didn't know about the crits here in town, I tried to look up some riding clubs, and being I'm new to cycling (got my first bike in over 30 years only a couple of years ago) they all sounded so intimidating. So I just ride on my own (or with my elderly dad) on the bike trails around here.

Do you have a link for the Tuesday night crits? I might want to go and check things out just as a spectator.


PS - I'm a UofW Husky, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends, right? :)

That said, any of you will be watching the Cascade Cycling Classic live?
Can't actually be there physically, unfortunately - work and some such other stuff gets in the way. And it won't be on TV either, I can't even watch le Tour right seeing as the neighbor I'm currently house-sitting for doesn't have cable.


(I'm relying on you fine folk in the PRR section to keep me posted in the live Tour stages threads, your commentaries really crack me up sometimes! )

Your a Husky? I don't want to know you anymore... :p I was actually born in Seattle.

Info on all other racing in Oregon- http://obra.org/ (that's my photo currently on the front page btw :D).

Cool pics, Afrank.

I may just show up at the next crit, and if I do I'll end up looking something like this. (Sans my dad, though at his age he is still the better/more ambitious athlete than I will ever be. So maybe I should drag him along as well.)

I'm a bit leaner than that now and yes, all within the code, that's as far as I'll go ;)

BigMac, if you know the bike behind me you'll see I'm also keeping good company with other steel riders (it's a Pinarello Treviso, Columbus but I'll let him off!).
Nice Pic! :)
thanks for posting KB

I also have an old Pinarello Treviso gray steel hanging in the shed. I'll never get rid of her...

Right, nobody asked, but I'll do it anyway...

I just took this pic with my bike today... never mind my tired old arse, but could my bike almost pass for a Bianchi Celeste?

(It's actually a lady's Diamondback, but I've worked so hard to make it look like a Celeste.)

Cool photo. My dream bike (well, one of them...) would be an old Bianchi Pista Celeste like Coppi rode.

Guy I ride with has 2!! And a Colnago Master Lampre team issue, and a titanium Colnago, and a couple of track bikes... I'll stop there. It's not a huge collection but he's got some very nice rides.
