The race was well organized and the course took you on a great route through Portland. Got to catch Portugal The Man perform, which was awesome.

The downside was there wasn't as much "rock-n-roll" as I would have expected for it being the name of the event. A little too much pop music blaring at the expo and start. There also were only a few bands playing over the course of 13 miles. They recommended not to bring headphones, but regretted that decision after a mostly quiet ride.
