Willamette Pass #1
Willamette Pass, OR
August 25-26, 2009
Attendees: Eric Loney
Each year the folks at Willamette Pass pull together a 2 or 3 race summer series. While it doesn’t get the hype of the Fluidride Series, the course is just as fun as Port Angeles and Mt. Hood. Additionally, at ~5 minutes it’ll put your lungs to the test.
The weather was hot, conditions dusty, and Eric Loney took home 1st Place in Pro Men. With competition like Phil Wiering in attendance, this is quite the feat. If memory serves, this is Eric’s first victory as a Pro. Definitely a good habit to start forming.
To get an idea for the course and conditions, check out the video from Downhill Coalition. Eric gets a few cameos, including the first 10 seconds.
