Have We Got a Bridge to Sell You! - BSN HACKED! - CrankMyChain! Joe Kurmaski

In our third snippet from the Bridge Shopping Network things go all-CSPAN as the show is hacked live into the Joe Cortrights formal testimony at the Jan 29th Portland City Council meeting on the Columbia River Crossing (CRC). It's surely not what the BS Network hosts have in mind, as things become wonky and counter-productive to their sales pitch.

Cyclocross Diaries #007 - Barton Park Cross Crusade - Wend Magazine

Cyclocross Diaries #007 - Barton Park Cross Crusade from Wend Magazine on Vimeo.

This, the final race in the much ballyhooed Cross Crusade series, took place near Estacada, Oregon at Barton Park. Once again the weather gods smiled on our little cross races by providing rain all week, for ample supply of mud, then letting up with sun breaks for race day. Perfect racing conditions. The absence of the twin towers Wicks and Trebon, let the REAL race go down between Babcock, Cameron and Tonkin. Did I mention the Shimano arm-wrestling championships? Oh yes... see for yourself. Big thanks to Dan Kaufman for stepping in for Heidi Swift, as well as helping capture lots of this fabulous video footage.
