Cross Crusade Breaks All Records
October 11, 2007
Last Sunday 1,078 racers descended upon the Alpenrose Dairy for the first race of the Cross Crusade cyclocross season. Breaking last year's record of over 750 racers, the event again established itself as the largest one-day cyclocross race in North America and solidified its designation as the largest participatory cyclocross bike racing series in the world.
The men's elite race climaxed with battle a between Shannon Skerritt of Vanilla Bicycles/Stumptown Coffee and Erik Tonkin of Kona/YourKey.com with Shannon taking an inside line right after the last set of barriers to secure the win. On the elite women's side, Wendy Williams of River City Bicycles took the win over Kristi Berg of Redline Bicycles.
Promoter Brad Ross is stoked about the attention. "We have truly become one of the hotbeds of cyclocross in the world" he said.
Next race is at Horning's Hideout in North Plains. See website for details.

That's because we're the best! My crew and I are out there ever race ready to dominate. Everyone else, watch out. And the rest of the world, you watch out too because Portland is taking over the world.

NO DOUBT! I don't race because I am just not fast enough, but I like to go out there and get wild with my friends who are racing. This is going to be (already is) a great series season.
