Anyone here going to be at Cycle Oregon? I'll be there on a black SatRDay.

There's always quite a recumbent presence on CO. Last year there were about 150 to 200, including 45

In fact, my wife and I spent the day riding with Curt Coleman, who does the maps, administers the
discussion groups, and generally does bunches of stuff for the Cycle Oregon organization. He rides a
Gold Rush. Bob and Rox Heath, who run the "unofficial" Cycle Oregon website (links from
arttouch.comarttouch.comOpen ↗) are Tour Easy riders also.

We'll be on our black Tour Easys... we're pretty easy to recognize: I'm 6-foot-4 while my wife's
5-foot-10, and she always wears colored tights and tie-dye shirts.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to train much this summer due to knee problems and thought about
canceling, but it's too late to get a refund so I might as well go and do my best. I hear there'll
be 3 other Japanese SatRDay riders as a result of Bike Friday promoting the event. (We Japanese
love small, folding gadgets.)

This years's edition is looking "easier": 4 days are 60 miles or less! Last year's daily mileage
averaged nearly 85... yuck. You'll probably want to sign up for nightly visits to the massage tent,
though. Do that on the first day- the schedule gets filled pretty rapidly.
