While the rest of us were riding on the pavement, Lev Stryker, owner of Cog Wild Bicycle Tours and an original member of the TAI Cycling Team, was down at Willammette Pass hitting the steep dirt.

Lev ran really well on his first run and tried to go faster on his second, “But I made some mistakes and blew out a couple corners,” he said.

His first run was good enough to win his Expert Men’s 30-39 class. Two State Champs in one day!
