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.

ASHLAND 12-MILE SUPER D

June 14th, 2009

Dropping more than 5,000 vertical feet in 12 miles from Mt. Ashland Ski Resort, the 12Mile superD Race is the longest and most demanding downhill race in Oregon. The single track course features trails such as Bull Gap Trail, Catwalk, Caterpillar, Alice in Wonderland and BTI. These trails offer every aspect of a true mountain bike race and long wooded corridors for reaching tear-shedding speeds. This downhill also serves up about 600 ft. of climbing, sure to get YOUR HEART A PUMPIN'!

for more info click here.

 

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.
