2009 De Ronde van Oeste Portlandia

Good times were had on the 2009 De Ronde van Oeste Portlandia, the weather was perfect and a bunch of Bike Vigilantes showed up to roll the devastating course. I quote "How tough were the climbs? One of them, on Brynwood Street, has a pitch of 24-28%, an incline that forced all but the toughest riders to get off and walk." The 48mile ride was a killer, even the last few miles were climbs that you did not want to see at mile 46! I'm pretty sure there were more than a few that had sore muscles the next day. Some good coverage here by Bike Portland and a ton of pictures by Dave Roth

Nick and Amy were host to the soon-to-be fabled PBR rest stop, sponsored by Pixie Project.

Well then, who let these out for the day? does they have a permit? did they steal the kit from a normal vigilante rider. Please post more sensible pics. cheers James
