IF YOU COME TO THE YAKIMA OFFICE

If you make your way into the Yakima office the first thing you'll see is our two story tall mural of an outdoor scene painted on the curvy walls of our lobby. Sitting next to that is our soap box derby car along with a couple Kona Africa bikes for cruising around the burbs on. But, if you are amply hydrated you may make your way into the men's urinal and see this lovely vigilante poster.

In case you need a close up version. 

RITTE RACING PHOTO SHOOT

Now, I read about this team on Embrocation's Embro Awards and was quite intrigued. Have a good sense of design and great thoughts. Makes me think of what we need more of in our snobby sport of road cycling. Came across this posting from JBucky on Ritte Racing. Classic stuff here kids, classic stuff.

Oregon Super D Series Announced

This just in from the fine folks over at the Oregon Super D, our first Super D Series is on!

In two short years the Hood River Super D gained national attention as one of the top Super D/Enduro courses in the country, but we’re going bigger! This year we will introduce the first of it’s kind four race Super D series throughout the state of Oregon, holding an event every month during the mountain bike season. Each weekend event will have a point system format, awarding maximum points to each categorical winner. For multi-race weekends, times will be combined from both days/courses declaring each race series winner(s). All individual series races will have cash and merchandise prizing with the overall award ceremony following the last race/season finale. Expect world class courses, camaraderie, great prizes, festivals, music, local support and camping. The momentum of this cycling discipline is on the rise, with the mountain bike industry, athletes, fans and media in full support. With world-wide demand for Enduro events taking off, this signature series will bring in top riders from across North America and push the limits of Enduro racing.

Yakima Go Cart Racing

Here at Yakima we celebrate the holiday season in a very traditional fashion. This year we did the holiday food drive, we ate a honey baked ham and we went go cart racing. Here's a quick video of us eating the baked ham.
