Downhill mountain bike race at Mt. Hood...

Went camping over the weekend, and ended up checking out a downhill mountain bike race at Mt. Hood on Sunday. There were supposed to be some locals riding in the Sport class, but they dropped out in protest (apparently at the prior event the Skibowl booked a corporate event over the top of the mountain bike race - $$ talks basically - and so it was clear the race series was low priority to the resort).

I got some good practise taking pictures of the Pro riders.

Wendy and I met up with a local rider who I knew from Blackrock trails, and he showed us some good spots to take pictures. We hiked up the mountain with Korshka and Lacey - glad we didn't have to leave them in the truck all afternoon.
