Just wanted to point out An event coming up that people may be interested in taking part in.
Cycle Oregon's backyard treasure weekend. This is an event taking place in September and offers many skill levels for whatever kind of bike rider you are. The eventual destination is Stub State Park, Oregon's newest treasure. The ad in the paper was pirate themed, (skull, map, X marks the spot) and I know what a sucker we all are for pirate stuff! Website not keeping up that theme but here it is anyway.

I'm smiling because I know something you don't know... I am not left handed!
