SSCXWC09, Beyond Thunderdome

SSCXWC09 from Dylan VanWeelden on Vimeo.

We just got the Thunderdome taken apart after a long weekend at the SSCXWC . It was huge with the race course snaking its way through the dome and racers dodging people swinging from ropes. The intensity of the crowd was over the top as they climbed all over the dome yelling at the riders.

Thanks to Pacific Domes for coming up and helping us build the structure during Saturday's storm. The dome was perfect. And thanks to all the Yakima Bike Vigilantes who helped put this mayhem together.

Neighborhood Ride

This is one reason why I live in SW PDX. These shots are from 3 different "parks" near my house. Legal singletrack in each of them. They all form a great after work cruise.

This part is pretty much unrideable right now but connects a couple of nice tacky sections of singletrack.

I love riding along this creek. It's cool year round.

Gotta duck under the tunnel of trees on this trail.

It all added up to an hour and a half and 14 miles of playing around.
