Team MOTORDOME

Imagine this:
You've been a messenger in Portland, OR for years now, and when you finally decide you can't stand shitty housemates and their shitty bands practicing in your shitty basement anymore, you buy a motor home. Also imagine that you enjoy cyclocross and you have a rag tag bunch of bad ass cyclist friends who love it too. Y'all decide you want to start driving out to races, and since you have the biggest car and a built in fridge, you decide to host the team out of your motor home.

It's great. Lots of beer, you get sponsored by a team mates bakery, get to watch wipeouts galore, heckle off season roadies, experience 'post wave supercharging', and generally get to have a rad time.

But wait, you need a name for your team.

Oh, yeah: Motordome. Duh.

Big, huge thanks to the one and only Brian Davies for the heads up. Motordome's blog is all that is good about cycling and it gets me super pumped for the cross season, and cycling folk in general.

Hi, bye!

Well it's in the low 60's now.

Annie D is leaving for Portland tomorrow and she won't be back till Wednesday, so we scooped a copy of DUNE (dir. David Lynch!) compliments of the $20 Vulcan Video gift certificate I won at the Metal Pedal race, and a pint of the seasonal blackberry cobbler ice cream Blue Bell makes. She is there for a school thing but she gets to drink lots of coffee and hang out at Lemolo Bags with Eli. Expect a write up when she gets back.



Miss you, Annie!

























Love you, Kyle.

























EDIT:

I just watched the first half of the 'Made for TV' version before realizing we picked the wrong case! BAH!
An hour and a half I will NEVER GET BACK!
