1750 miles to the left coast. The road trip wasn’t too bad and I got so see some beautiful country along the way. Montana, Idaho, and now Oregon are on the list of places I could live. Sorry Grandparents.

I met the OR crossniac crew this weekend and it brought true meaning to the syndicate. The brothers on the left coast treated me like part of the family.

The crew set me up with host housing in Portland and it was awesome. I got hooked up with a nice young couple who lived only 5 miles from the race.

Saturday the OR crew was in full force and were there for me in the pits and cheering every lap. Thanks guys. Starting from 104th place was tough, but I got up to 30th in the end. The race was not epic Portalnd mud that we all read about, but it was muddy enough for some fun.

Sunday the crew was back and racing and in the pits for me. The weather was brisk and the wind dried out the course so it was fast, fast, fast. I felt good and got a good started and made it up to 23rd in the end.

Thanks OR crew. Hopefully see someone of you at Nationals in Bend
