I’m travelling and only have a few minutes, but wanted to write a quick post about the Sunday’s USGP in Portland. Mud. It was really, really muddy. Not only was it muddy as hell, but it was a day of upsets: Tim Johnson took the win in the men’s race over Trebon, while Katerina Nash beat favorites Bessette and Compton in the elite women’s race. There was a hot tub on the run up, and the drum core was there bringing the drama.
Detailed coverage on cyclingnews, velonews, and bikeportland.org. I took a bunch of photos:
