Salem Short Track MTB Series–oh, yeah!

Sweet, mountain bike racing inside my own city limits! Totally rad idea to have summer evening races at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. Thanks to the Buy Local Team and our folks from Capitol Velo, we got this awesome opportunity!

Even though I despise short tracks and generally have to race a least two hours before I ever have a chance of winning, I decided to stamp some Plews authority on the local scene.

I crushed the first three out of four races in decisive fashion and it was in the bag. I even came and did some parade laps during the final event just because I could. Actually that was the only part I regretted since the fair was on, it was half dark, there were people (?) and objects entering the course, and the whole place generally had exhaust and greasy fair food fume over-saturation. I think was was asphyxiated several times over!

Anyway, it was fun, I won, and best of all: this blog just got postive again!

Thanks for reading…
