Shout out to local rider Brad Taylor. Raced the Ring of Fire MTB race in Bend last weekend and finished 4th in the 60+ category. Great finish considering Brad hasn't ridden a mountain bike in almost 10 years and had to borrow a bike to race. Looks good in the shop jersey.

PSA. On the way back from my morning ride, I was detained by a Washington County Sheriff. He was letting me know that I wasn't allowed on Porter Road as it was closed to all vehicles and a bike is considered a vehicle. Told him we were told by Washington County at a meeting that Cyclists and Pedestrians would be allowed on Porter during the closure. He had not heard that, and apparently it had not been passed down to the patrols. We had a nice conversation and he was going to check with his commander on the issue. He let me ride on through, which was great, because Verboort road was the only other way to go and it was a traffic jam this morning. So, be prepared if riding Porter, you might be stopped, just have your story ready. Hopefully the word gets down to the patrol sheriffs.
Reminder, we will be closed this Saturday for Labor day weekend. Absolutely has nothing to do with the Ducks having a home game.
