Anybody catching the Gorge games ?

[Gwood]

Saw some coverage of downhill slalom races last night on low band cable.
Pretty interesting stuff, sort of a combination of downhilling and Ben Hur.
We don't have any extended cable service, so don't know if it made to ESPN
or other sports channels. If it does, it's well worth watching.

Being my "back yard", found the coverage of the Columbia Gorge a lot of fun.
The mountain biking, extreme kayaking, outrigger racing and freestyle
windsurfing all took place within a few miles of each other. It's a
wonderful place to play.

Cheers
Gary

I rode up & watched part of the Freeride competition on Sunday. I wanted
to watch the Kiteboarding stuff this week but I have to work.

P.S. some of those freeriders (spectators, not the competitors) were damn
grumpy. Must be the heavy bikes.
