well this is a few days past but went to the Silverton RR to volunteer some time for the cycling sport and was a corner marshal on the back part of the 17 mile loop. A bit of chilly day with overcast skies and temps in the upper 50's to low 60's by mid-day.I was only doing my part for the AM races and had Dave who races for OSU (beavers) was helping at this intersection with marshal duties. Races were pretty well smashed apart during the first lap except about 35-40 cat 4/5 men were able to stay together for all three laps. I found out later that there had been a pretty nasty crash with about 300-500 meters left. mulitple broken collar bones and one individual who was rushed to Silverton then life flighted to OHSU where he is making some a very good recovery the last time I checked. His name is Ryan McKnab and friends have set up a blogspot that you can check to see how he is doing. The blog location is ryanmcknab.blogspot.com if you get a chance put in a little prayer or send some positive vibes to PDX/OHSU and Corvallis where he and his spouse live.
I am going to post out a few pictures in the next few days of some of the general racing. I did take a few shots
while some of the morning groups came by. Not much in the way of traffic so was able to get the 'ol trusty pentax out a get some clicks in.
Not much else for the moment...thanks for reading.
