Oregon Syndicate decided to take advantage of the unseasonably dry weather (thank you Al Gore) to head up to the hills for some mtn bike action. It was also a time to “interview” our newest recruit to the Pac NW family, John ‘FroHo’ Frohning.

John recently moved here from CA (originally from AK) and is an avid rider but even more serious freestyle skier. We met through a mutual friend several years ago at University of Portland. FroHo brings his love of road racing & his endurance for mtb events thanks to his 2nd generation Surly 1×1 with it’s monstrous wheels (he rocked 2.5s today & not his 3.0s).

i_r_beej didn’t get the memo as he brought his too-high gear for a very hilly ride. But this also meant he was right behind you on the flats & downhills…Mary-bar + squeaky shark + Crossniacs kit = coolest cat on the mtn.

This is an accurate image of how Frosty rode all day…fast & in front of us. He’s obviously gonna kill in any singlespeed race. Poor bastards.

I was behind the camera most of the time with the exception of when I dropped my camera in the creek…it’s drying as we speak (fingers crossed).
