CYCLOCROSS | Keeps Going - Oregon |
 Cyclocross got its start in Portland as far back as 1985, but it wasn't until a few years ago that it really caught on here,
and across the nation. Portland has one of the largest cyclocross series, the Cross Crusade, and the series is quickly coming to a close. The last official Cross Crusade race of the season is November 12 at Estacada Timber Park. Keep
digging around on the ORbike calendar, however, and you'll find all sorts of other cyclocross races popping up until it's just too bitter cold to ride. |

ANNUAL PUMP SWAP MEET | November 18th, Portland |
 The much-anticipated annual Portland United Mountain Pedalers (PUMP) swap meet is coming up. From the looks of the flyer and
the buzz around town, PUMP is keeping this time-tested event fresh and as always there will be great deals on gear and parts. There are raffles every 15 minutes. The swap is at The Friendly House, 1737 NW 26th (Located one block east of
the Fat Tire Farm). The meager $2 entry fee benefits PUMP's efforts to promote safe responsible mountain biking on sustainable trails. |
