Head Down - 2008 USGP CX Stanley Portland Cup

Portland, Ore. The US Grand Prix of Cyclocross made the last stop of the tour last weekend for the Stanley Portland Cup. Mostly dry ground was found Saturday at the Portland International Raceway but Sunday it poured, especially the hour before the Elite Womens race.

Katerina Nash took both Sundays race and the 2008 USGP Championship Trophy while local heroine Sue Butler was cheered to a third place finish and the Sram Most Aggressive Female Rider award.

Ryan Trebon of Bend took that $250 prize home and won the days race. Tim Johnson claimed the series trophy.

I took home a pair of very wet and muddy boots, some videotape, and inspiration for the song Head Down, which is the score for this video. Eric Todd Keeney provided additional footage.

I love the dirt in Katerina's teeth at the finish line. You can't see it unless you watch in high quality, though.

I guess there is a home court advantage in cx.
