we made it to bend

TR2 game face

Hollie had a good time and a good result at the Chain breaker mtn bike race. We got in around 5 pm to Bend and quickly made our way to the race course so we could pre ride. The course was mostly on private land and national forest land. We also found a killer camp site right by the start of the race.

RIPPING

So, as you can tell, the course was awesome and tons of fun. Hollie laced up the techie course like a pair of steel toed boots! there was one section that traversed a wash that went back and forth 18 times!

IS THAT PRO?

That is the web cyclery bus. They put the race on. That mobile unit is one sweet ride. There is actually an area to do physiological testing in there.

START VEHICLE

I had to shoot a pic of this vintage retro scooter...sweet 'eh?
While Hollie raced, the dogs and I went for a really sweet trail run that lasted about an hour...just long enough to tire the pups out and get back to snap some shots of Hollie. By the way, Hollie won the expert group and was 3rd women over all including the pros. I guess it is time to upgrade from expert to semi pro.
After a nice lunch and warm shower we headed into town to get fuel and groceries. We also found out the "must ride" ride in Bend. So we headed out to Phils trail head and we found a ton of trails and a great spot to camp. As Hollie put together a fine diner, I went out to scout some single track. I went out for about an hour on the mountain bike and had so much fun!
Anyway, we are going to ride this morning and head out of Bend. I think North on 97 to east on 84 to La Grande, Oregon.
