PCT 50-Miler and OBF

This week, I made reservations for our trip to Portland, Oregon in July. My wife and son will go with me, and our foster son will drive over from Spokane to meet us.

We'll spend some time at the Oregon Brewer's Festival, which I haven't been to since year 2000. While I'm there, I'll also run in the the PCT50 trail race, on the Pacific Coast Trail. It includes the beautiful Mount Hood as part of it's 50-mile course. Check out some of the photos from the race web site.

We'll spend about 1/2 our time in the Mount Hood area. I've been there many times for the Hood to Coast relay, but my family has only been in that area a couple of times. It should be fun. Can't wait!

Trail Nerd Series

Our little trailrunning group here in Kansas City is going to put on a fun series of short trail races, throughout the rest of this year. They will be impromptu, short distance events of 10K to 10-miles in length. It should be fun. We'll have at least 3 more Saturday morning races in various parks, and (hopefully) a night run, as well.

We now have available, just in time for Summer: short-sleeve Trail Nerds (black) tee-shirts with the following (Jason Crosby-designed) logo on the front:



















We will also be ordering some (silver) sleeveless, technical (moisture-wicking) running shirts with a much smaller and simpler logo on it that will look like this:














Being a Trail Nerd has never been so much fun.





Happy Trails!!!
