I'll be out at the Deshutes River drinking cold ones. Wednesday mid-week ride? I would, but with being gone so much, work is piling up. Dang.

Maybe.
I might be working on a new bike. Stay tuned. I'll know in less than an hour.

I'm in for some form of a ride on Sunday - Wed. Small chance I might be racing Silverton road race on Sunday, but unlikely due to it being mainly a climbers race. This race stuff is fun and addicting if you stay on your bike.

That sounds good...though I will be coming off a week of basically no riding. Weather isn't too promising at this point.

I cannot ride Sat as I have some guests from out of town staying with us. However, I am excited about crushing some Vancouver souls and making children fatherless just in time for Memorial Day.

Cool, I'm up for up to 70 miles, with a fair amount of climbing. Vancouver is 65 miles from me though...so lets start at like 8-8:30 rather than 7
