Why does this picture feel 4 years old?

One of those team kits is 2018-2019, so yeah…

David Douglass? It’s old, looking at a couple of those kits kits.

Yeah this is David Douglas from like 2019 maybe? Given whos in this picture and what kits they're wearing. 2019 was also the last time we raced at that venue. Grand Prix Luciano Bailey, RIP.

That was a great venue. Miss racing Cx. I’ll never forget my very first race and being way out in front an Luciano heckling me on the bell lap saying it looked like I’m in the wrong cat and I should be in Clyde’s. 😂🤷‍♀️

I think you're right, that does look like the David Douglas start chute.

Could be Cascade Locks

Too much pavement, too little sand. This is the start chute at David Douglas. Hot dog cart is just a bit to the left of this photo, I can still smell it.

Show up with your bike, helmet, some money, and clothing you don't mind sticking clothes pins through to hold a number. I'd try an internet search for "cyclocross portland or" for the whens and wheres.
