Last night marked the first race in the Blind Date at the Dairy, one of our favorite CX series of the year. To be honest, we love every series, but this one holds a special place in our hearts for being an amazing grass-roots effort by some phenomenal cycling community members. That said we’re honored to be sponsoring this year’s event providing prizes and neutral support.

This year is particularly important to us as there is a very real risk that the venue will no longer be available to the cycling community. We’re hoping to do our part to help #SaveAlpenrose for future generations of cyclists to race and enjoy by donating 10% of our gross sales this Saturday, September 7th, to the Oegon Bicycle Racing Association. Make your dollars count and stop by to help save a Portland Institution.

We sent our staff photographer out to Alpenrose to capture some of the racing action. We hope you enjoy some of the photos below and please feel free to share, just be sure to tag #SaveAlpenrose when you do!
