Racing is cool, but how many dates are we talking about?

Chad Butler, Tim Bergmann, and I were messengers in Portland in the late 80's. Down town Chad was a mellow prince on a red Erickson Road bike. Chad had spent some time already as a junior, racing in Europe.

Soon he was a steward of the land in Scio.


Now Chad runs his own team. This weekend he popped into P-Town to give
his Hapi-Go guys Denzell Lall and Logan Tramell a little leadership and love.

Watch you talkin' about?

Chad was on top of the whole thing.
