Please share your experiences soon.
Meanwhile, your new Topeak pump awaits at my desk.

Sounds like we’ve got the makings of a ride, here! I have a particular fondness for the Grand Central Bakery Jammer… just sayin’…

i’m always up for a slow, not very long ride including coffee and pastries. and i don’t have the “marathon training” excuse.

Thanks, guys! I am a really great candidate for slow, not very long rides these days. Especially ones which feature pastries and coffee prominently :)

My marathon training and hauling the 60lb dog to and from work everyday has given my cycling legs the ol’ one-two punch. The Eugene Marathon is the first weekend of May, and after that, rando has my heart, lungs, and legs!

Oh dear… I DO understand.

For the uninitiated East-sider (like me, for instance), Hillsboro is a series of little cluster**ks, laid out in completely random order. I’ve heard rumors that buildings in Hillsboro actually DO move around at night, rendering your latest map and any sense of direction useless the next morning.

Really sorry to have missed you. I KNOW we’ll do this again eventually.
I am **contemplating** the 100km Snoozeville on March 14 (gotta check in and make sure Liz hasn’t planned something first), and if I do you’re invited to come along and join me. If you do it at my snail’s pace it’ll be a “recovery” ride for you. And it’s a 100k, so you don’t have to join RUSA or anything. Just pre-register at the OrRando web site and show up.

Otherwise, I’m planning a Gresham loop out Marine Drive way for sometime in March, complete with a stop at Jazzy Bagel before looping back along the Springwater. Another mellow ride, brought to you by the queen of mellow riding. Probably AFTER Snoozeville, lemme know if you’re up for it.

Damn! I knew there had to be a good explanation – I am so sorry. We sure did miss you. Like Lynne said, if you are up for a 200K, it would great of you joined us this Sunday (just so you know, I will probably be riding it very, very slowly because in Saturday I plan to do an all-out, wind-sucking ride with PV . . . assuming it doesn’t snow)

we surely missed you! Next Sunday (2/15) is going to be the Three Prairies 200km Permanent, starting out of Newberg (me and Cecil, but not Beth). We’d love to have you ride along. If you wanted to be official, you’d have to join RUSA and get your app into Susan F. right quick. But you can ride along – we just can’t let you help us fix anything that breaks or flats :-)
