There's going to be a memorial ride for Kristine tonight. People are meetin up at Berbati's from 17:00-17:30. I'm told it'll be a pretty short ride.

I ended up talking to someone from KGW about Kristine. They'll be airing a story on her tonight at 6pm. They'd seen the photos and contacted me to find someone who'd speak with them. I wish I could have found someone who knew her better. It was a pretty short deadline and couldn't find anyone who knew her and really wanted to talk to them so I stepped up. If anyone can tape it I'm interested in seeing how it turned out.

Back at the end of February a local TV station, KTAU Channel 2, had a story on fixed gear bikes in Portland. GravelTech got mentioned, though indirectly:

The city has seen the organization of weekly fixed-gear rides, an annual one-speed festival, a fixed-gear category at local races and even a few Web 'zines devoted to fixed gears.

Seriously, an annual one-speed festival? A few web 'zines devoted to fixed gears? Why didn't they just call for a quote? We'd have been happy to oblige...
