Kreuger's Kermesse

Oh boy! Cyclocross season is just around the corner. The days are getting shorter, it didn't get above 70 degrees today, and there was rain in the forecast for the first time in weeks this past Monday. Yep, all of the signs are pointing towards our favorite time of year for Portobello. Yeah, mountain bike racing is cool and road racing is fun (if you're into that sort of thing), but cross is the living, breathing, soul of this team and we are getting prepared to rumble!!!!

As a warmup several of us raced the kermesse up at Kreugers Farm on Sauvie Island on Sunday and we had a blast.  Don Kreuger was kind enough to reposition a few of the farms sprinklers to give us a little mud on the course, and that left us with a nice coating of mud and dust. A perfect prep for cross!
