RACING
FANS SAVE THE TWILIGHT CRIT
Portland is a world-class cycling city, well known for smart
planning, innovative projects and thousands of people happily
commuting to work Đ rain or shine. So it seems fitting that we
have a world-class bicycle street race - the Portland Twilight
Criterium - that draws professional racers from around the
country. 15,000 spectators flock to downtown Portland for a
night of fast-paced racing action in a festival-like atmosphere
around the North Park Blocks every year in early August.
But this year, as the title sponsor bowed out in light of severe
budget cuts, the Portland Twilight Criterium was facing
cancellation. Determined not to let that happen, local race fans
have stepped up to bring in the support of their businesses,
including local attorneys who specialize in bicycle law, bike
shops and Subaru of America. In their effort to rescue this
popular event, these businesses have banded together to raise
the necessary funds. Their admirable work is not over, and
additional sponsors are still needed.
Amazing things happen here in Portland Đ success, creativity,
forward thinking. In keeping with this spirit, the organizers
hope additional businesses will come out as race fans too and
help bring professional racing to Downtown Portland this summer.
For more information on how you or your business can be
involved, contact
Tom@GoodSportPromotion.com.

WOMEN'S DIRT
SERIES BY ROCKY MOUNTAIN BICYCLES
The Dirt Series by Rocky Mountain Bicycles is the
instructional program that we, as coaches, wish had existed when we
started to mountain bike. Come to think of it, it’s the kind of camp
we’d all still love to take, because honestly, there’s no end to the
joy that comes from learning.
The Dirt Series began in 2000 as a BC provincial
development initiative, an effort both to bring more women into the
sport and to fuel the passion of those already committed to it.
In the nine years following, it has expanded from
its Whistler base throughout B.C. and Alberta and into Washington,
Oregon, California, Idaho, and Utah. It has added in some co-ed
programs to its original women's only camps, combined with some
incredible industry partners, and developed to a point where it
presents between 15 and 20 camps annually.
Everywhere the program has gone, it has left a
community of inspired mountain bikers in its wake. From those
picking up mountain biking as a new outdoor sport, to those breaking
through barriers after years of experience, the Dirt Series has
created a legacy of fun, support, energy, and success.

MT. BIKE
OREGON 2009
July 18-20
and August 15-17 - Oakridge, Oregon
Ride sweet
singletrack all day, drink microbrews all night - it is pretty much
a mt. biker's dream come true. Add on top of that being surrounded
on all sides by National Forest, meeting bikers from across the
globe, shuttles to the trailhead of some of the world's best trails
and someone else to cook your meals - and you've got an incredible
way to spend time on your bike.
The trails in Oakridge are unrivaled. You'll feel the Jedi-like rush
of Alpine, navigate switchbacks, choose from technical to
death-defying, opt for an all-day cruise on Middle Fork and exhaust
yourself with three full days of riding. There's a refreshing river
in camp for afternoon cool-downs, stretching and clinics in camp and
that delicious free beer garden all night.
This is Oregon and the organizers recognize that the only proper way
to entertain out-of-state mt. bikers is with a killer selection of
some of Oregon's best microbrews. So this year they're offering
Block 15, Ninkasi and Oakshire out of Eugene and Oakridge's own
Brewer's Union Local 180. So hit the beer garden, and relax under
the towering tree canopy of the National Forest as you listen to the
river rush by and enjoy some fine, fine brewskies. Oakridge is your
time - you have not a care of the world.

WHISTLER B.C. CANADA BIKE PARK OPENING MAY 16
Whistler
Blackcomb’s famed Whistler Mountain Bike Park is scheduled to open
May 16 with plans for continued expansion in the Garbanzo Zone;
completely redesigned Slopestyle, Giant Slalom and Dual Slalom
courses; and new lesson and rental packages for all levels of
mountain bikers.
At the end of last season a few lucky riders were able to experience
new trail sections on Blue Velvet and Freight Train as well as the
completely redeveloped No Joke trail in the Garbanzo Zone.
“We opened these trails on the very last weekend last season,” said
Brian Finestone, Whistler Mountain Bike Park manager. “They have had
the winter months to compact and should be in fantastic condition
when Garbanzo opens this summer.”
The Whistler Mountain Bike Park has stepped up its lesson and rental
programs to make mountain biking more accessible for all levels of
mountain bikers. Bike Park 101 is a daily clinic that offers the
“never-ever” mountain biker a chance to learn about downhill
techniques while exploring the bike park with a qualified guide.
More experienced riders buying a lift and rental package can add a
lesson with the Lesson Upgrade option for only $5 (half day) or $10
(full day). The Lesson Upgrade is a perfect way for riders to get to
know the bike park better while fine tuning their intermediate and
advanced downhill riding technique with an expert guide.
Whistler Mountain Bike Park passes are now on sale. Season passes
offer unlimited access for $435 plus GST. Passes can be purchased
online at www.whistlerblackcomb.com/bike (click on link), by phone
at (800)-766-0449 or in person at Guest Relations at the base of the
Bike Park in Whistler Village.

$1 MILLION MIGHT GET BIKE PARK ON TRACK
by James
Mayer, The Oregonian
A private backer has pledged $1million to help build a
new destination bike park in a 35-acre no-man's land between Interstates
84 and 205 near the former Rocky Butte jail.
For now, the supporter wants to remain anonymous, but
the promise of money gives the "Gateway Green" project a much-needed
push, said developer and area landowner Ted Gilbert, a major supporter
of the plan.
"Momentum is building, but I don't pretend it can happen
overnight," Gilbert said.
The proposed park, which is on state land, would link to
Portland's extensive bicycle commuting network and contain mountain bike
trails, a cyclocross course and a free-riding area, he said. The trails
would be in a wooded area of the site, while the southern end, with its
rolling hills, is ideal for the gravity-fed activities, he said.
Gilbert said he sees the park as a "rebranding" tool for
East Portland, an area of neglected neighborhoods that lack basic
amenities such as sidewalks and parks.
"We want the public to take a fresh look at East
Portland," he said. He said he hopes the park will offer bicycle tourism
with national-caliber events. A national cyclocross championship, for
example, could draw 2,000 entrants, he said.
A concept plan was created by trail designer Chris
Bernhardt of Alta Planning & Design, based in California with offices in
Portland. It was paid for with a small grant from REI and $45,000 from
the East Portland Action Plan.
The project features a bicycle and pedestrian bridge
over I-205 to link up with publicly owned property on Rocky Butte,
leading to a combined site of 120 acres.
"It's a significant project in our eyes," said Tom
Archer, a board member of Portland United Mountain Pedalers, a mountain
bike advocacy group that has been involved in developing the plan.
"Areas dedicated for off-road cycling are very limited
in Portland," Archer said.
There is about a third of a mile in Forest Park and some
limited riding areas in Powell Butte, he said. But nothing dedicated to
free riding (a bicycle sport that uses varied topography for a
challenging ride) or skill building.
"It's an ambitious project, it's a long-term project,"
probably three to five years, Archer said.
Non-bicycle transportation into the area could be a
challenge because there are no roads into it, but Gilbert said the
Airport MAX Red Line runs through the property.
The next steps will be to sort out operational details,
estimate costs and find more money to develop the park. The land is
owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation, but ODOT doesn't want
to run the park.
Regional operations manager Karla Keller said ODOT
supports the idea, but she stressed that backers must find a partner to
operate the park. She said the state wants to retain right of way in
case it ever decides to widen I-205.
Conversations are under way with Oregon State Parks, the
Portland Bureau of Parks & Recreation, Metro and biking groups, Gilbert
said, but supporters have no commitments.

Oregon. The single track course features trails such as Bull Gap Trail,
Catwalk, Caterpillar, Alice in Wonderland and BTI. These trails offer

What is a
Super D?
Best described as a Downhill Cross Country
race. Any bike will do for a Super D race,
but this category of racing is where the
all-mountain/trail bikes with 4, 5, and 6
inches of travel can really excel. A race
for the all-around rider.
