Trans-Cascadia just happened to begin on the first day of Autumn, it just happened to have all sixty-six racers start and finish each stage, and it just happened to wrap-up under a super moon eclipse around a campfire with celebratory stories being shared. Most people are hesitant when it comes to committing to a first year event, it's human nature to want to wait until the kinks are worked out, the details are sorted, and the processes are in place have been practiced. But never has the phrase 'fortune favours the bold' be more true of an event. Those racers who took a chance on the inaugural Trans-Cascadia race were rewarded with four days of memories made around epic rides, social meals, and the occasional bonfire jumping.

Spent some time in Oakridge this Summer, and that is definitely a place I'd want to hang out with cool people for a week, ride some trails, drink some beers, and enjoy it all.
I hate having to plan good stuff like this around school and jobs...
Weir is legend
1. Cascadia is super gorgeous
2. the food/beer/fellowship looked dope
3. Weir's facial hair is sketch as heck
The cap was 100 riders so maybe bringing in roughly 60% of the proceeds was a surprise but the extra money is supposed to go to local trail building advocacy groups to build/maintain more trails and nothing about that is mentioned in any of the coverage that I've seen so far. The only coverage of this event has been from paid, sponsored outlets so it's likely the hard questions weren't asked.
