Pacific Northwest - Cycle Oregon 2009

I'm signed up and ready to roll in September. Anyone going, want to get a BF group at the beer garden going?

Bike Friday group? We can drink some beers and then have some 'quick fold' contests!

I'm going! Not a Bike Friday girl, though.

I'm in and ready to roll, can't wait!

PS We started a Sunday ride group to get in some long rides in prep for Cycle Oregon. If you live in or near Portland join us, shoot me a message and I'll forward info.

Just a couple weeks away, are you all ready for a fun week? I'm planning to come down on Saturday with a few stops along the way, then take in the Britt Festival on Saturday night, Gov't Mule should be fun!

I am in too! Cant wait.... ok I need to go do some more hill training! Mark

My wife and I are in. See you there!

I am also in again this year. Can't wait

BTW, I rode McKenzie Pass on Monday and stopped for pie at the same place in Sisters.

:thumb: i wish I would have been with you. i was dropping my daughter off at college at BYU-Idaho. 24 hours of driving in about 54 hours:notamused:

I'll be there, at the start and the end since I live just blocks away from the park. I cant ride though, but hopefully I will have pictures starting tomorrow.

Shifty and 2thGrinder have a great ride!
I still remember that pie and the awesome ride.
I keep promising myself to do it again someday.

Cycle Oregon 4 was fun, wasn't it? I have some good memories of it.

My wife and I have done 4, 14, 15, and 16. We'll probably sign up for 24 just to keep the series going.

"Runaway Tandem Ramp". Still chuckling over that one. What a great week.

On the drive home I got off of I-5 to get a few things to bring home from Heaven On Earth (yes, the incredible rest stop). I LOL when I pulled into the parking lot and it was jam full of cars of CO riders, and inside was a mess with happy riders with all sorts of goodies!!!!

Heaven On Earth = Teh greatest cycling goodie foods ever!! :-)


Skip, no word on the guy, it may come out after a few days, pretty sad, but it happens.

Whew....!!!
