The Hood River Super D was a great event. Beautiful weather, great racing over a pretty tough course, lots of swag and a fun party in the woods for the local bikers and the visitors who came to check out the great riding in this part of the USA.
While I enjoyed the racing and camaraderie of my fellow bikers, I didn’t exactly make a strong podium bid. However, our buddy Dan G rode a strong race and finished sixth in the large and competitive Sport Division; only about thirty seconds off the podium and a minute and a half away from the win. Pretty good riding over a tough course.
After the race we headed over to Dirty Fingers and Ten Speed Coffee Shop for their anniversary party. Nobody seemed to notice that we were dirty and bloody, but then again, these folks are all bike riders too. My kind of town.
