Gonna try and see if I can make it up, I have a competing option. How long is the ride this month? I have to figure my there-n-back since it's the end of the month... :-[

You guys lost someone? Geez, remind me to pack along my GPS if I'm traveling with you goons.DamDan said:4th Saturday ride for AUGUST is near completion and posting. THEN, later this week, I'll get some posting done on the SEPTEMBER ride/gathering. They are always 4th Saturday so, I believe that makes Septembers on the 28th! Just checked. YEP!! There will actually probably be rides on Friday, enroute, Saturday AM and PM AND Sunday, on the way home for some of us.
Yes, we had great weather for our ride last weekend. Sorry that we lost Brian along the way though. At least Dave, of the four of us who made lunch, seemed to get his monies worth at the buffet at Spirit Mountain! LOL
Thanks for making the trip up from Eugene, Bruce.
Man I'm so tempted to bail on my Hood to Coast Relay team after knowing this month's ride is coming to Dufur and our hotel. Unfortunately I'd be lynched if I left 11 of my buddies hanging on H2C. Hope you all have a great ride. If the weather report holds, it should be a PERFECT day to ride. Enjoy the roads out near Dufur and hope the hotel treats you well. Someone please eat a cookie or 5 for me. I'll be running 24+ miles on some nasty hills and will need the energy. :great:DamDan said:Last weekends check of the Forest Service Road that I plan on using to get home on for this month's ride went really good! There are at this point, 4 members and 4 guests signed up for the ride this month. So, I am going forward with the plan on having lunch at the historic Balch Hotel in Dufur and will be working with Samantha Irwin on getting that set up. As I indicated earlier, She and her husband Jeff own and operate this cool old hotel. I'll wait til next Monday to give her a head count for lunch so if you are considering on joining up, sign up or let me know by then. Anyone who signs up or contacts me will also get an attachment of the map of the planned ride. I'll have 5X7" copies available at the breakfast/meeting.
Thanks Dan and to all the others that attend. Have a great ride!DamDan said:Well, with the ride within just a few days now and the weather forecast looking pretty close to perfect at this point, it looks to be a great day for a ride. I hope all who are coming have signed up since I'll be sending Samantha an email this AM about attendance, which stands at eight. Yes, Jeff, I'll have "a" cookie for you!
PS: Best wishes on the HTC!
I am, but unfortunately Dan has a different ride scheduled that he's been wanting to do so he indicated that he's not going to the National Rally this year.ZG said:Aren't you guys heading out for the National this weekend? ???

Looking forward to it and to seeing your bike in person. Be safe, we'll see you in ID. :beerchug:ZG said:runnerb0y said:I am, but unfortunately Dan has a different ride scheduled that he's been wanting to do so he indicated that he's not going to the National Rally this year.ZG said:Aren't you guys heading out for the National this weekend? ???
Cool, see ya in ID Falls RB. :beerchug:
8 signed up so far. Awesome news, hope you ALL have an excellent ride.DamDan said:Lots of reasons that I'm not attending the National this year but being committed to fulfilling the "4th Saturday Oregon Ride" series is one of them. Luckily, I see that we have eight riders signed up for this Saturday. Not everyone can take the time/money to attend Nationals. I've been a member for over ten years and have been to two. That's enough for me.
Hope you all have a great time though.
