We've never heard the word beer so many times. Ever.
Or seen so many cycling hats with the word beer on them.
And there were some nice looking shaved legs.

But then we were at a Cross Crusade kickoff bash hosted by Team Beer at Roots Organic Brewing, where a giant photograph of the team hangs behind the bar. They've been here before.

There was a DJ, excellent beer (there's that word again), conviviality, anticipation in the air and projected pictures on the wall - courtesy pdxcross.

Let the season begin.
See you at Alpenrose tomorrow.
